Great location walking distance to beach’s very comfortable dog friendly yard property equipped with everything you need and clean and tidy. We all had a great time.
I really enjoyed the location of this property and how close to the beach it is.
It was only a 5mins drive to the centre and all the shopping and eating opportunities.
The outdoor courtyard was very private and nice to sit in and enjoy to beach air.
Definitely planning on visiting again
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandbar and we left feeling so refreshed and relaxed after just 4 days. It is ideally located with just a short walk to the beaches, the accommodation is spacious and well appointed, and the lounge and the beds were super comfortable! We can't wait to come back and stay.
This was our second stay at Sandbar and we enjoyed it thoroughly - property is clean, close to the beach and perfect for our small dog
Thank you Annie we will be back !

We had a lovely stay. The property was neat and practical, there were plenty of walking tracks to explore with the dogs, and we were only a block from the beach. Wests club and Nelson Bay town centre are only minutes away. We found everything we needed to make our stay pleasant and comfortable.
excellent house with everything and great location. too bad it rained mostly but enjoyed walks to little beach and dining.out etc. lots of cockatoos which we loved. Would stay again. thanks Annie
As a disabled person in a wheelchair, it was accessible and I could bring my service Dog. It was located near an accessible pathways too beautiful Little beach and nature corridors.
A truely lovely place so comfortable. And so safe for our little dog. Coffee at the homestead in the morning with a magnificent view was definite highlight.Will definitely come again and stay for longer.
We Loved staying at Annie's place it had all we needed plus much more. Ducted air conditioning for those cold days great kitchen bathrooms & separate bath rooms. Lots of pathways to two great beaches and walks with the doggies. We want to rebook latter this year.
We loved our stay here! The property was clean, comfortable and just right for an easy stay with our two small dogs. It’s a short walk to the beach or to Little Bay- we discovered lots of picturesque walks just exploring and can’t wait to come back. A 5 minute drive to Nelson Bay meant easy access to the amenities also. Great communication with the owner and ease of check-in too. Our dogs loved their holiday and we had no issues during our stay.
Annie’s place was everything we needed for a weekend getaway. The house was well equipped and close to everything. The outdoor dining area was a great addition and the dogs had plenty of space to run around in the fully secured yard. Annie checked in from time to time and was very responsive to messages. Highly recommend this affordable accomodation in Nelson Bay.
I loved the ease and convenience of a ground floor villa. The courtyard added to the private vibe and was relaxing.
Plenty of tea/ offer and Brekky/ ondents extras in the kitchen cupboard was a welcome addition.
Location is great. This property is so well equipped. The owners have made sue that there are plenty of glasses, cups and cutlery and everything else you could possibly imagine. Comfortable beds with quality linen and a lovely comfortable lounge suite. Such easy communication with the host. We will definitely be back!
Situated in a perfect location and within walking distance to a beautiful beach and bay.The home is very comfortable with lovely ducted air conditioning.We loved that the property was pet friendly so we could take our little Pug on our family vacation. The yard is very dog-proof and spacious.The hosts were exceptional and very attentive. They communicated well and were very generous.We will definitely be recommending this property to all of our family and friends.Thank you so much. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
