Comfortable and spectacular!

Welcomed by friendly and helpful hosts, we enjoyed our stay in the very comfortable 'pod'. The view was spectacular and we loved the wallabies in the yard. A great location for visiting Freycinet too!

Ideal Getaway

My sister and I stay 5 nights in this lovely and cosy, quiet spot. The view was magnificent and the place was clean and was well equipped.We went out exploring everyday and came back in the afternoon’s to enjoy a walk on the 9mile beach and watch the wallaby show!Bicheno - 30mins away, Swansea 10 mins and Freycinet is 50mins.We walked to Wineglass Bay, enjoyed Kayaking around Freycinet went to the Blowhole at Bicheno and a day at Maria Island so the distance did not worry us and would book again in the future!!!

Cosy

Thank you. We enjoyed our short stop at D'Sands. Watching the wallabies in the evening through the large glass wall from the lounge was a highlight for the kids. Walking distance to a stunning beach we had all to ourselves. Recommend to arrive with all you need then you can just kick back and enjoy the peace and quiet.

So peaceful, marvellous hosts

Our 2 night stay was really enjoyable at d’Sands. Hosts Donna and Wes were so welcoming and we very much enjoyed our chat together. Magnificent views across to the Hazards from the lounge picture window, everything you could need for a stay was provided and a just a 5 minute walk to the beach. It’s isolated and quiet, so unless you want to do the 20 minute drive into Swansea, take your supplies with you. There are pantry staples provided. You may even see wallabies arrive in the late afternoon for a graze outside the accommodation. Thank you Donna and Wes, it was a great birthday !

Relaxing stay

We had a very peaceful stay at d’sands, Donna our host was extremely friendly and helpful. There were quite a few groceries in the pantry already, and a nice clean kitchen. The standout of course is the amazing picture window looking towards Freycinet. Would easily recommend! Thankyou

Tranquil stay with beautiful water views

Our hosts were welcoming and informative, providing helpful information on what to see in the surrounding area. The views from the accommodation overlooking Freycinet were stunning and the location opposite the beach provided an opportunity for a relaxing morning walk before heading out for the day. Accommodation was spotless and well equipped with all that we needed for a home away from home.

A relaxing stay with great views

We had a great 2 nights here - the property was clean and comfortable and we had everything we needed including Melshell Oyster Shack - just down the road. It was a longer drive to Coles Bay than we anticipated - a very short distance across the water, but about a 45 minute drive by road. It didn't matter in the scheme of things - we had time and managed a few wineries on the way. Donna and Wes were very welcoming hosts.
