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.

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.
