A Relaxing Beach Stay

A well looked after and clean accommodation for a relaxing beach break in Stansbury, a short walk to the beach and town. We like all the little different areas to be able to sit and relax and we appreciate being able to have our pooch stay as well.

Beautiful holiday at Sammy’s Retreat

Me and my family spent a week at Sammy’s Retreat and it was a beautiful, relaxing, peaceful getaway. We needed a break from the world for a bit and got that in the oasis of Sammy’s Retreat. My beautiful dog Ginger loved holidaying with us too❤️

About the host

Hosted by Anthony and Sammy

Host profile image
We are both from south of Adelaide and spend a lot of time on the Yorke Peninsula. Relaxing and enjoying life are priorities for both of us. We chose to become holiday house hosts because we wanted to give people the holiday experience, we ourselves, including the fur babies would like to have.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to make a difference to a small town by attracting good customers into the community, which in turn generates revenue and helps the town thrive.
The lower Yorke Peninsula in general has so much to offer and we often find ourselves exploring in search of excitement and a great experience.

What makes this property unique

We 100% manage Sammy's Retreat in relation to communication with customers, the cleaning and gardening. We spend the time it takes to bring Sammy's Retreat up to our standards for every guest who spends time at our beautiful property.
