Sands End - Amazing Views

Take your pick of living spaces or bedrooms and you will soon see why Sands End is named as such. Without exception, every room in the house feels like you are standing at the end of the beach. In coastal holiday terms, Sands End boasts all the key elements. 5 minute stroll to the beach. Elevated high enough to have stunning views but not too high to make a beach trip feel like a full blown workout. Space, both inside and out, to come together or find time alone.

Recently reborn following a complete internal renovation Sand Ends is the perfect combination of rustic charm on the outside and modern creature comfort on the inside. The home itself is set over two separately accessed stories, and comprises 4 bedrooms, an open plan lounge and kitchen area with offset dining area and two decks. Other key features include wood fire, reverse cycle air-conditioning, ceiling fans in all bedrooms and off street parking. In addition to the breathtaking views, the surrounds offer spectacular native gardens, grassed area and excellent privacy. There are even two secret direct access tracks to the beach for the intrepid explorer. For those less adventurous, a 200 metre stroll will take you past the Wye River Hotel, General Store and onto the sand. Suited to both families and friends, come enjoy the simple pleasures Sands End has to offer.

6/10

The view from the deck was fantastic, however the interior of the home was somewhat disappointing. On arrival we found the modular sofa had been steam cleaned. The cushions were all upended and unfortunately extremely damp meaning we were unable to use the sofa until our second night. Windows we’re grimy and cupboards not terribly clean. Exterior only access to the two downstairs bedrooms was less than ideal in the rain.

Superb location and views sadly let down by the condition of the house.Overall the house was extremely dirty,it certainly was not completely renovated as per the advertising.

Location of house was perfect! Rooms were comfortable and had great views. A few minor drawbacks included that the 2 downstairs rooms were only accessible outside, no wifi, and it appeared the place was overdue for a thorough clean (overall was clean, but if you looked at dinner details, came up short). Also the oven door didn't close all the way. That said, the view and overall house more than made up for it and would definitely stay here again!

This house was a delight to stay in -such a brilliant position with magnificent elevated views across the bay. To be able to walk to the beach was a bonus. Great house design with updated look - a pleasure to be there.

We stayed for a weekend and found the property to be everything promised on the website and as per previous reviews. Views were great and the location was fantastic just up from the pub. Accommodation was very comfortable, although no air-conditioning in the bedrooms (ceiling fans) so those susceptible to the heat may need to be aware in summer). Our daughter enjoyed the fact that the 2 bedrooms downstairs are separately accessed from outside so she could pretend she was in her own apartment separate from the rest of the family. A somewhat curious collection of glassware but otherwise the house has everything you need! Would definitely recommend.

Amazing area, and amazing views the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of every day life. The property is a 4 bedroom house 2 bedrooms on ground and 2 bedrooms on the 1st floor. ****However there are no stairs inside the house access is only via an outside staircase . So if you have young children you will be separated . (I have 4 kids all under 13 years) . So I did have to get up to check on them thru the night, apart from that hickup we all had an amazing time.

Sands End has stunning views and close to the beach and the pub, at the same time very private. A few minor exterior only maintenance issues which makes the quality a 4 but nothing which impacted our stay. Large bedrooms, climate control, comfy beds, huge open plan, great deck and all round very clean, awesome place. We were wanting nothing, from the array of cooking accessories to power boards at every bedside - all the small conveniences you never notice unless they're not there! Highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning view of Wye River beach. The walk to the beach is an easy 4-5 minutes and it's about the same to the cafe and general store. The house is beautiful and spacious. We absolutely loved our one week stay here. Only minor notes for possible improvement: 1. the outdoor deck setting could do with a revamp and 2. we couldn't give 5 stars for cleanliness as there were a few little issues (e.g. gunk in the bottom of the dishwasher which we had to remove and a fair bit of dust under a few of the beds). These were definitely only minor issues - still happily give the house an overall score of 5!

Living area was nice and cozy, dining room looks out on the beach and the kitchen is well stocked, very nice to cook in. Every bedroom is a good size, nice linen and storage space, also a view from every window and the sound of the ocean all day every day. Not sure there is a better holiday rental in Wye River that is close to beach, pub and store.

We stayed at Sands End as a group of 8 (4 couples) and couldn't have had a better Wye River experience. From the get-go the staff at GORH were great to deal with. The property was spotless, great amenities, open planned spacious living/dining/kitchen area, 4 well sized bedrooms with ocean views and a 2 minute walk to the general store, pub, beach. The photos don't do the view justice. We spent most of the weekend just taking it in from the balcony. We can't wait to get back down there again.

What a spot!!! Felt very private, although such a short walk to all Wye River has to offer. The views of the ocean were incredible, and so close! The rooms were spacious, comfortable and the house was clean. My family & I loved it. The agents were also great to deal with throughout the booking. Thank you!!

You know while you drive down Great Ocean Road that house overlooking the ocean that makes you think gee, I wonder who lives there?. This is that house. Fantastic house in a fantastic location. We couldnt have asked for anything more. Ample space within the house meant everyone lived in comfort. The location (3 min walk to the beach, two doors down from the pub!!) meant we were well entertained over the course of our stay. Amenities were modern, TV with media centre was well put to use and the beds were as comfy as clouds. Already planning our next trip here!
