It had a great out look to the granite hills through the big glass window . You could just see the ocean and you could walk down to the beach if you wanted to. We didn’t, it was just too windy. The location was a bit out of the way for us, didn’t realise it was so far off the beaten track, but great if you just wanted to chill and relax. The wallabies were very cute.

We had a delightful stay at Donna’s place in Dolphin Sands. As naturalists and birdwatchers, the location was perfect. While the Freycinet Peninsula was very crowded, the beaches on this side of the coast were much quieter, with lighter visitation. We enjoyed excellent birding right from the yard and along the waterline, and we really appreciated that Donna clearly cares about the local wildlife, putting out clean water and healthy food for the marsupials and birds. It was also a great jumping-off point for nearby national parks and local attractions. The place was comfortable, well set up, and had everything we needed. Our only regret was not staying three more nights so we could have caught the aurora australis, which must have been spectacular from her place!

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

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 !
