Local area and beaches

There are 2 villas on this beautifully quiet 4 acre property. They look out onto farmland and are surrounded by vegetation local to the area. A resident male koala regularly puts in an appearance, kangaroos are often in the paddocks early, echidnas wander through occasionally and lots of bird species abound. The inlet is accessible by road or a 1.5km walking/riding track (20 minutes). The inlet is a fantastic place to spend the day either fishing, swimming, boating, SUP boarding or sailboarding providing car access onto the beach. The surf beach access track is approximately a 1km walk which will give access to the quiet unmanned part of the Sandy Point surf beach . A further 0.5kms will take you to the main Sandy Point Beach and Sandy Point Surf Lifesaving Club. The Sandy Point beach is absolutely stunning and a great place for a family day out swimming, surfing and boogy boarding or just for lazing around on the beach. Opposite the main beach is the General Store, Café (currently closed), Mini Golf and Tennis Courts. Wilsons Promontory is a 40 minute drive and has stunning beaches, walks and wildlife on offer: definitely not to be missed

Great accommodation-clean,comfortable, in a tranquil location a short drive from Sandy Point beach.
Had a wonderful break at Banksia villa. Far enough away from the main holiday drag to be surrounded by open country with great ambience and outlook, with amazing and varied birdlife, yet a short distance to the main drag. And Deanne was a friendly, helpful and very welcoming host - we’ll be back!
Stayed 12 nights in Jan 2019

We'll be back at this great little house!
It would be hard not to have a peaceful holiday down by Shallow Inlet; one of the most beautiful places in the world. Deanne has so much pride in her immaculate villas; they were spotless and inviting. If you like to and can remember how to cook real food you'll find every utensil supplied. Brilliant and relaxing. We'll be back soon.

Family Friendly!
We enjoyed 2 nights at Driftwood with 3 children, beautifully presented, clean, well maintained property. Plenty of room for the children to run around and have a game on the grass and close to walking trail to Shallow Inlet. Great kitchen and fully self contained. A peaceful family weekend break, Thankyou.

Value for money and quality
We had a fabulous mini break at Driftwood Villas. Very clean villa and comfortable. Great property with fabulous views. 1.5kms to the inlet and to the main beach. Wildlife at your doorstep...koala in the gum tree right outside the door! Would recommend the property. Sandy point did not dissapoint - yet again! Thanks Deanne.

Fantantic stay over the weekend!
The kitchen has a stove and oven so you are free to cook whatever you want. The bathroom has a huge tub which I thoroughly enjoyed, a washing machine and a dryer. The first thing I noticed was how clean the place was; everything was spotless. Also, Deanne is an extremely helpful and lovely lady. Would definitely go again and recommend. 10/10 Note: The trip from the villa to the entrance of Wilson's Prom is about 20 minutes drive (we saw emus, wallabies, and wombats on the way).

Lovely place to stay
We had a great time at Driftwood Villas. The villa was comfortable, clean and the beds were excellent. The location was perfect for us, as we could travel around the area and also it was a short trip to Wilsons Prom. The setting is lovely too. Would highly recommend Driftwood Villas.

Very Nice Place.
A very quiet, tidy and clean property. We rent the two villas and we enjoyed stay there for the weekend. Very close to the beach. Saw the koala who lives in the trees in front of the villas, the kids really excited to see it. Thank you, De!

Peace and comfort
We had a relaxing, very comfortable holiday at Banksia villa. If you are heading to Sandy Point, then this is the best place to stay. It overlooks the surrounding hills and farmland. Lots of space and a resident friendly koala. Excellent, well designed facilities. Cleanliness second to none. There are good walking tracks close by and fabulous beach for running. Shallow inlet great for swimming, windsurfing, fishing. Deanne, our host, was very kind and caring in all aspects of our stay. Thankyou. We were sad to leave.

Great place to stay!
We've enjoyed our stay at Banksia very much - it had everything we needed, including beautiful views and a koala just next to our villa! The location is great, you can walk to the ocean beach and walk to the shallow inlet. Plenty of wildlife to spot around! We will definitely come back.
