About the host

Hosted by Barbara Smith

Host profile image
We have always loved the Surf Coast and have owned the Sand Chook since 2012. Our family are keen surfers and our house has ready access to the beautiful Torquay and Jan Juc beaches. Our house is perfect for families. We enjoy sharing it with our guests and have made many improvements over the years.

Why they chose this property

The Sand Chook has lovely views over Jan Juc. Our elevated position means we capture the sea breezes and wake up to beautiful sunrises. There are many walking trails to Jan Juc beach and village as well as to Torquay. It is only a five-minute bike ride to check the surf. A short drive away are many mountain bike trails. We never feel crowded even on hot summer days. It is a great location!

What makes this property unique

Absolute attention to detail. We provide our guests with all the amenities they would expect in their own home. We stock the pantry with staples which guests are welcome to use. We want our house to be a 'home away from home'.
