Clean and cosy
Nestled in the native bush and lovely garden with open lawns, this is a delightful cosy little house with everything you need for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Just perfect for a couple like us, or a small family. The location is great for peace and privacy but also close enough to shops for convenience.

A cosy stay that everyone enjoys
Love the indoor and outdoor features Sandford offered my family. The location is absolutely fantastic that we enjoyed both Venus Bay beaches and inlet. Roslyn is always ready to help in case we need anything. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a cosy getaway that doesn't cost a fortune.

Lovely lazy getaway
We had a great time at Sandford Beach House these past Easter school holidays. Nice sleep ins, lots of chess, Ferris Bueller DVD on repeat, beach and inlet walks in any weather, wildlife spotting, homemade pizza from the pizza oven and looking at the stars while enjoying the fire pit. And delicious local honey dropped round by the hosts. Super relaxing, house has everything you need.

Quiet and well-equipped place to stay
We had a relaxing week here. It's in a very quiet location, with a lovely garden separating the house from the main road. It's only a short drive to the beaches and shops. The compact house is well set up, including everything we wanted in the kitchen plus lots more.

Cozy and cool house on a hot weekend
Very nice cosy house with quite a large outdoor area and deck. Aircon was very good and kept us cool during the 37C weekend and was strong enough to keep the bedrooms cool! Those DVDs definitely kept us entertained! Beds were very comfy. Would love to come back next time.

Great quiet location short stroll to the beach
We loved the quiet location and bushy surrounds. The amazing beaches are a 15min walk or 2min drive. The woodfire oven was used for a great slow cook to feed friends and family. The resident Magpies also became great friends too. Really enjoyed the stay - thanks Roslyn

Beautiful Location
We really enjoyed our stay. The local walks and beaches are absolutely beautiful. The accommodation had everything we needed and was very comfortable, unfortunately we didn't get to use the fire or pizza oven because it rained for us, perhaps next time. Thanks for a great stay Roslyn, I hope that you will have us back sometime. Dwight

Relaxing getaway
We had a lovely time at Sandford Beach House. The house was equipped with everything we needed for a short stay. The beds were comfortable and the location private but accessible to surf beach and the inlet. The phone reception is patchy, but we didn't mind that. We spent our days exploring the area, reading, and making use of the large yard and deck. Rosyln was easy to communicate with. We would recommend this accomodation!
