Outside there is plenty of space for your pets and toddlers to roam around with a fully enclosed gated space where you can cook up a storm on the 3 burner gas BBQ.

Pack light as there is a 7kg washing machine, dryer and iron with a fixed clothes line and portable clothes hanger to catch the afternoon sun.

Tranquil Coastal Escape!
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.

Perfect little spot!
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.
