Our stay in Sandy Bay was worth every star. The decor was most tasteful and stylish. Lois was most welcoming and amenities perfect. Perfect coffee from an easy use machine, a wonderful courtyard, to relax in and a most lucky WOW on our last night as we watched the rare Aurora scream across the skies from the back garden. The only suggestive comment to add was that the actual property far exceeded the basic impression one got from the picture that advertises the property.Many thanks again Lois and would certainly stay there when coming again to Hobart
