- Other things to note
Due to the closure of the Gippsland Power Stations, during peak times (i.e. the middle of summer) we are prone to power blackouts. Mobile phone coverage can also be poor, travellers are advised to use Telstra for the best coverage in our area. This is unfortunately completely out of our control. Each property in Sandy Point is on tank water and septic systems.

Great stay with the family and pooch.
We loved exploring the area and this was a great base. Our dog LOVED the beach which was a short walk.
House was comfy and we all had plenty of room.
Clean property , great location. It’s a good property and overall pretty good.
The house didn’t have a dishwasher, whilst the TV is a smart TV , a newer larger one for that room would be better. We cleaned the clogged split system filters. And some lights don’t work . Also with the caravan there it has limited parking space. As mentioned a good property and thank you. John

Sandy Point
Cleanliness was average, spider webs everywhere, we even had to deal with an ant infestation and the house had not been aired for a while. BBQ was not clean to use, some crockery and pans needed washing before we could use them. Beds were comfortable and fortunately we didn’t need to use 4 rooms for 4 different couples as two rooms were joined by a bifold door. Outdoor area was untidy and lawns needed mowing. Having a caravan parked in the driveway meant only two vehicles could park off the road, which for a 10 occupant house is not enough. It is a great location to stay, shame the house didn’t live up to expectations.
