"Experience Luxury by the Sea at "Sandbanks" – Now with a Brand-New Spa!
Perfectly positioned along the world-famous Great Ocean Road, Sandbanks is a standout beachfront retreat that redefines coastal living. Occupying a prized “front row” location just steps from the golden sands of Separation Creek, this stunning two-storey escape now features a brand-new outdoor spa—inviting you to soak, unwind, and take in uninterrupted 180° ocean views from one of the most scenic spots on the coast.
Architecturally designed with a timeless mix of sandstone and timber, Sandbanks offers four beautifully appointed bedrooms and two stylish bathrooms, comfortably accommodating families or groups. Large panoramic windows flood the space with natural light and deliver sweeping views from the beach to the Wye River point—making every moment inside just as breath-taking as those spent outside.
Whether you're curling up by the fireplace, enjoying the sea breeze or preparing meals in the fully equipped modern kitchen (complete with breakfast bar), comfort and relaxation come naturally here.
Pet-friendly and surrounded by nature, Sandbanks places you within easy reach of Wye River, Kennett River, and the lush trails of the Great Otway National Park. Whether it’s a coastal adventure or a tranquil retreat you're after, this unique property offers the best of both worlds.

The property itself was in a perfect location and overall a lovely house for our family to enjoy a relaxing weekend together.
Unfortunately the downstairs split system was not working and the dishwasher was filthy, the coffee machine had mould in it and there were no coffee pods supplied or dish cloths. The crockery was also not well cleaned. A bit dissapointing considering the cost
