Proximity to beach was a feature. The cabin was comfortable and well appointed. The weather was warm enough not to use the fire but that would have been nice and cosy in winter. The quirky statues are fun. Kitchen was really good with lots of utensils,and pots and pans. The welcome pack was an unexpected bonus.

Very close to beach. Very clean

If I wanted to nitpick I would say that the toilet seat didn't fit the toilet and was wobbly. That is the only thing that I could fault.

Pleasant surprise although I brought provisions with me for breakfast.

The location is amazing. So private and with direct access to the beach. Bicheno is 15 mins away for all your supplies.

One of the greatest assets of Sandpiper is the ownership. John and Annette are two wonderful, down to earth people that create a very warm, welcoming feel to the property. They’re fun to talk to and give the place a soul. The cottages themselves are quite sufficient and are stocked with everything you could think of and more. Some places I have stayed at cut corners in this regard but not here. Then there’s the beach! In less than 60 seconds, you can reach a gorgeous beach with practically no one on it. It was nice to return from a long day of hiking at Freycinet and be able to jump into a pristine ocean upon my return.

Not a single thing.

The kitchen was stocked with fresh eggs, a loaf of bread, a bottle of the best milk I ever had, plus butter & jam & 2 generous jars of muesli and granola. Wine, beer, and sodas were available for a reasonable fee. Coffee, tea, cooking spices, you name it, it was all there. And a big jar of cookies! Amazing thoughtful and fun. I really appreciated it.

No fan in bathroom and shower splashes all over bathroom

Great location

Stayed in January 2025

No fan in the bathroom so condensation was a problem. Would have preferred three single beds in second bedroom.

The privacy and good kitchen facilities. The welcome basket was much appreciated.

Our second time to Sandpiper and we will be back. Such a peaceful place to stay and right on the beach, dog friendly and we had everything we needed.

Didn't rate the shower much. the pressure of water was very low and just a tight squeeze in the shower over bath, but I am a bigger size.

I loved everything about the cabin and location, and it felt very calm and relaxing. The cabin had everything needed and more, and the arrival basket of fresh produce was so wonderful. The wood heater was our main focus of our travels and relaxing by ots glory was the best. .

The room was fantastic. Even though it rained the ambience of the fire and deck still made it enjoyable to feel relaxed. Great breakfast hamper provided. Close access to Beach and welcoming of the pooches were wonderful

Amazing spacious cottage in a natural setting. All the comforts of home but surrounded by nature. A short walk to a fabulous beach and a 10 minute drive to the local town. Peaceful and tranquil at its best.

Nothing to report here.

Such a beautiful cabin in a gorgeous location. Everything I needed was provided. Great kitchen, huge bathroom. Can totally relax here and switch off. The cabins are situated so that you are not aware of the other cabins, it's peaceful and idyllic. Great that it is dog friendly - and just a short walk to a magnificent beach.
