Guest Reviews

• Jane (9/5): Beautiful place to stay - We loved our stay at The Sands. The apartment was perfect for me and my two kids. We loved the position, the gardens, the quiet and relaxed vibe. Kim and Geoff were super kind and caring. We hope to come again! No issues at all.
• Jimff (9/5): Lovely apartment in beautiful surroundings and great location. - The location was very convenient to everything we wanted. The apartment was very comfortable and well equipped. The gardens were attractive and well maintained. Nothing really, although it would have been nice to have a hairdryer.
• Kelly (9/5): Nice apartment, great location. - The apartment was lovely and had everything we needed. It was very clean. The pool was lovely and the gardens were superbly kept. As much as the management were nice people and do a very good job on the property, we found them to be extremely highly strung and a little intrusive unfortunately. This impression and experience was also shared by the other guests we spoke with. People are there on holiday, not to socialise with the owners. It was also very unprofessional that at 9.20am the owner appeared at the door and told my elderly mother that we really should be out by now and to hurry up (checkout was 10am) as they had a lot of rooms to clean for a new lot of guests arriving. As it turns out we were about to leave anyway. My 87yo mother did not appreciate being harassed like this and got quite upset. If we were told this prior, we would have left earlier.
• Sharon (10/5): - Very clean, comfortable beds, good size unit, fantastic position, great pool, very friendly owners
• Kathryn (10/5): - Spotlessly clean property with excellent facilities. Great location close to the beach and walking distance to the centre of town. Very helpful mangers . Nothing
• Melissa (9/5): Loved our stay - Fantastic location so near the beach, spotlessly clean and well set up, and the owners were so friendly. Would like to go again! Would be absolutely perfect if the master bedroom had a king bed. This is a personal preference but 2 pillows per person would be excellent too
• Veronica (10/5): -
• Mohammad (6/5): - Unfortunately, some essential amenities were not available during our stay, including internet/Wi-Fi, housekeeping, a hair dryer, tissues, and toiletries.
• Ruth (9/5): -
• Perrine (10/5): Petit havre de paix à quelques pas de la mer - Tout! L’accueil, la propreté, les équipements, le calme, la proximité de la mer et du centre, la piscine chauffée. Tout était là pour un séjour parfait. Machine à laver et lave-vaisselle très pratiques, tout ce qu’il faut dans la cuisine pour préparer ses repas. Idéal pour un séjour en famille. Notre bébé de 18 mois a également adoré son séjour. Les hôtes sont très gentils et font tout pour qu’on se sente comme à la maison. Nous y reviendrons pour sûr! Rien, tout était parfait pour des vacances inoubliables.
• Christy (8/5): - The heated pool was great and the location was perfect for us The pillows were very flat and there wasnt much privacy.
• Jane (9/5): Ideally located for those wishing to enjoy a real beach holiday - The Sands is located in a quiet cul de sac which means no passing traffic noise. It is a comfortable, flat, ten minute walk to Merimbula main shopping street. There are a couple of take-away/coffee shops only a few minutes walk, which are across the road from Main Beach. Ideally located for those wishing to enjoy a real beach holiday. Geoff and Kim were excellent hosts, very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. We have stayed at a few holiday apartments in this vicinity and The Sands has just become our favourite. We will definitely book here again. While it suited our needs, the twin bedroom is really only suitable for two small children. It isn't really large enough for older teenagers or two adults.

• Steph (9/5): A lovely seaside escape- we will be back! - Great location- Just a short walk to the Fishpen area and beach, local takeaway and Mitchies jetty coffee van. The pool was clean and refreshing, the unit was clean and had all that you needed for an enjoyable stay away form home. Kitchen is well equipped and the couches were comfy for a chilled night after a day on the beach! The beds are comfortable too and I was thankful for the blankets on one particularly chilly night! Our unit didn't have a private outside area where we could put the clothes dryer out in, to get fresh air and the unit complex don't like you putting your wet beach or bath towels on the chairs outside to dry , so it was hard to dry them unless we used the shared clothesline, something that in the past with other holiday units hasn't worked well with things being stolen. We did however use the clothesline and thankfully didn't have anything nicked- so win win.
• Abby (10/5): Exceptional - Super spacious and clean apartments. Location is superb and owners were lovely. Will definitely stay again!
