Fantastic home away from home

This property is probably the best holiday home we have stayed in. Everything you could want is there, it’s really well furnished, really clean. The garden and outdoor areas are wonderful. A really great spot to get away for a break.

Beautiful holiday at Sammy’s Retreat

Me and my family spent a week at Sammy’s Retreat and it was a beautiful, relaxing, peaceful getaway. We needed a break from the world for a bit and got that in the oasis of Sammy’s Retreat. My beautiful dog Ginger loved holidaying with us too❤️

This house and property is very clean, neat and tidy without being precious. It is comfortable and the layout is good. The back garden is delightful and there is space for everyone to find a comfy corner, including the dog.

Lovely getaway

Such a beautiful property with a big back yard and plenty of space to explore and play for the little one plus our pup. Rooms were comfortable and the little xmas decos all around were so cute and made our short but sweet holiday all the more special. The place was spotless & had all the basic ammenities you need.The only regret is that we didnt book more time here. We would love to come back.The hosts were also lovely and helpful.

Paradise beach house

We had a lovely time staying at Sammy’s retreat. The garden was a lovely surprise like a lost forest and it seemed like we were somewhere else. Our pooch Tilly loved exploring the garden. Wish we stayed longer but had to come back to reality. Will book again soon.

Perfect seaside getaway

Sammy’s retreat is exactly that! A perfectly presented home with absolutely everything you could possibly need for a family getaway a stones throw from the beach. The property was exceptionally clean, with very comfortable beds and furnishings. There are loads of movies, books, games and toys for furry friends. We had a really relaxing stay and enjoyed lovely walks along the beach into town everyday and sitting on the beautiful deck reading.with great communication.

Wonderful week

Three of us (includes our border collie!) had a great week staying at Sammy’s. We were lucky with the weather and explored the southern Yorke Peninsula. The property was really good. Exactly as advertised. Even though it was winter we were warm inside with the heating. Outside the fire and BBQ were very welcome. Stansbury was great to visit. Food at the Dalrymple Hotel was excellent. Happy to recommend the property.
