About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Southern Sand


The house is situated on top of the secondary sand dune from Koonya Beach. It sits on 1500sqm of land which is mostly native trees with a large grassed area on the hill. The outside area is vast and has large deck on top of the hill which is great for relaxing on.

There are three seperate outdoor entertainment areas to relax, eat or sit in front of the fire pit.

The inside of the house has a dining room and lounge with both bedrooms having ensuite bathrooms. There is a very small TV room.

There is a converted garage containing a couch, TV and an ice hockey table. Ideal for kids.


We have an Air conditioner, however because the house is on top of the hill it gets great air flow and we really have only used it a couple of times. There are ceiling fans in two bedrooms

Ideally this place is great for couples and small families who enjoy entertaining, walking and the outdoors.

Great place to stay
My family and I really enjoyed this house. It was very nice inside with two big bedrooms (and one smaller one). Outside there were different areas to enjoy the day at different times - we especially enjoyed the fire pit at night. The backyard was good for the dog and the beach and general store were within walking distance. Highly recommend this place.

Perfect beach shack
Southern Sand is a reasonably basic beach shack which was perfect for our family Christmas. The owner was communicative and it was exactly the type of house and location we were after. The garden is beautiful and sunset drinks looking towards the back beach were a pleasure from the deck in the back yard. Thanks Diana!

Weekend Stay
The property was sufficient for a weekend stay in a nice location. The property could do with a clean and outdoor furniture repaired/updating. Value for money was ok.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The location was great and the house was ok except it needed a good clean.
We would not stay at the property again as it seemed expensive for a house that needed cleaning, and there seemed a lack of generosity in what was supplied. There was a virtually empty soap bottle, one toilet roll, near empty dishwashing liquid, the oven was so dirty I didn’t use it. It’s a shame as the location is great and the furnishings are nice. We were given the wrong key code for the lock box. It just felt that there was a lack of care.
