Incredible location just across from Avoca beach, newly renovated and they have done an amazing job with it. Incredibly comfy king bed with super soft sheets. A couple of choccys and a bottle of sparkling were very much appreciated! Beautiful products in the bathrooms and tea /oil/ washing up products provided. Layout was fab for the 3 of us and we had a wonderful time. Very easy to communicate with the host. Would love to come back. Note of advice - If you are wanting to use the sofa for sleeping, request sheets/ duvet in advance or bring your own.

Perfect location
To be able to walk out the door and across the road to stroll along the beach and watch whales playing out at sea was magical. The staff and food at Waves Cafe were great, the friendliness of all shop owners on the main drag was a great change to the big city bustle. Son enjoyed choosing between ocean and lake fishing. Daughter loved perusing the antique store. Well appointed and beautifully decorated. Everything you need and thought of. The neighbours to the cottage welcoming. Helpful and friendly. The attention to detail was marvellous. Communication with owners quick and easy. Really loved it here, would love to come back.

Perfect location was a little disappointed that the place wasn’t as new as advertised. Definitely not just been done up. The blind was all ripped and the kitchen cupboards had tape holding them together. Overall great little place because of location.

A wonderful mini break!
2 female friends from Sydney escaping the hustle and bustle of family life for a beautiful sunny weekend of relaxation. Everything we needed was within walking distance and the lovely beach side location was just perfect. The local Sunday markets were a bonus - we were lucky they fell on the weekend we stayed. Would definitely book this house again. Thank you!

I had a perfect stay at Sandy Corner, only 1 hours drive from Sydney, the cottage was very homely it had everything you needed, the neighbours were warm and friendly, most of all the view and to be able to just walk across the road for a swim, I’m already planning my next stay I felt like it was my home away from home place to go to, looking forward to coming back Xx
