Tucked in a prime spot only a short stroll from local favourites like Eddie’s Bakery, Benny & Brew, and the skatepark – and just a seven-minute walk to the golden sands – this home is all about ease, style, and a little splash of retro charm. Freshly renovated with a playful American diner vibe, Sandy Bar offers cool furnishings, Smeg appliances (yes, even a wine fridge), and a sun-soaked deck that’s perfect for slow mornings and relaxed afternoons. Indoors flows effortlessly to outdoors with a bar leaner and chairs, making it just as good for a quiet coffee as it is for a shared platter with friends. Inside, you’ll find three inviting bedrooms. The super king ensuite room is a beautifully converted garage, complete with its own heat pump, TV, and sliding door to the driveway. The other two bedrooms - one with a king bed and the other with a single plus trundler - share a well-appointed bathroom. With quality bedding, excellent heating and cooling, and thoughtful touches throughout, everyone can relax in comfort. Practical comforts are all here - great Wi-Fi, washer/dryer, off-street parking for one car (plus plenty of street parking), and a shared driveway with two other homes. Dog lovers, you’re in luck - Sandy Bar welcomes one small dog by prior approval. There’s a dog door, a small fenced grass area, and a secure boundary to keep tails wagging. Whether you’re here for a corporate stay, a weekend with friends, or a family getaway, Sandy Bar offers a relaxed base in an unbeatable location. Once you arrive, you’ll see why this is set to be a year-round favourite. Other things to note: \- Main guest must be over 25 years of age \- Strictly no parties, gatherings or events \- Quiet hours: 10pm – 7am \- We welcome one dog (by request) – a small pet fee applies Important Note: Regarding your reservation, please be aware of the following terms and conditions: Payment Terms: Full payment for your stay will be processed 7 days prior to your scheduled arrival.
