Wonderful stay at Sandylands property. The view is amazing. Stunning view of the Lorne Pier. Was so good to rest and relax. A great place to stay for a couple of families.

Good house but a little dated

Property was good and very comfortable but it needs a bit of a freshen up as showing it's age and the online photos are not very reflective of current state. Also current lounge suite is not that comfortable in main lounge. Kitchen is good and reasonably well equipped. Great views too.

Wonderful Stay

The views are spectacular and the location is 2 minute walk to the beach. The house was clean overall even though inside was a little run down. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Very comfortable and great location

Really enjoyed staying at the property. The view is incredible and there is plenty of space for a big family to sleep and hang out. Extremely comfortable and unpretentious set up inside plus a fireplace. We have 2 small dogs so the fencing wasn't really suitable to leave them for long on their own, big gaps for them to easily walk through into other properties. Would be ideal for bigger dogs. Highly recommend this property, especially in the warmer months.

Lovely house and location!

This house was in a fantastic spot and was a great size for our stay. However, the cleanliness was underwhelming. The BBQ didn’t function well, the lounges were stained, no heating in one of the bedrooms and the clothes washer and dryer had sand and hardened detergent in them. The bird visits on the deck were lovely for the kids entertainment and the views were amazing!
