Sandpiper at Jervis Bay - Rustic Retreat

*New Listing - October 2025*

We are an experienced property manager with over two hundred carefully selected properties and thousands of reviews. Book with us with confidence!

Escape to a simpler time at Sandpiper — a retro, shabby chic, sun-drenched beach house in beautiful Jervis Bay, just 400 metres (a short walk) to Callala Beach and its white sand and clear swimming waters. This authentic two-level holiday home has been lovingly kept and offers plenty of room for family gatherings, with leafy decks that catch the sun and a front verandah perfect for slow mornings and balmy evenings.

Inside, open-plan living and dining spill onto a large front deck where you can fire up the gas BBQ and dine under the trees. The kitchen is well equipped (microwave and coffee machine — bring your own Lavazza pods), and the house features comfortable lounging zones with a smart TV upstairs plus a separate downstairs bar area with an additional flat-screen TV and DVD player — ideal for movie nights or splitting into quiet and social zones. Practical extras include an outside laundry with an extra shower and toilet (great for rinsing sandy kids and dogs) and undercover parking with plenty of off-street space for boats and cars.

The home comfortably sleeps six adults across three bedrooms, with two extra single fold-out beds best suited to children (up to eight guests in total). There’s a bathroom downstairs with a separate bath and shower plus an additional toilet upstairs. A fully fenced, dog-friendly yard and outdoor seating areas make Sandpiper a relaxed choice for visitors who value space, easy indoor–outdoor flow and proximity to the bay.

Plain but Comfortable Close to Beautiful Beach

The property was plain and on the older side but new kitchen and bathroom provided very good value for money. We loved the location an easy walk to beautiful Callala Beach when we walked and swam every day. Nice upstairs deck to sit out on, lots of birds. Dog friendly. Beds comfortable. We would definitely go back.

Blissful Holiday!

Sandpiper is a wonderful discovery...close to the beach so you can hear the waves, everything you need and a deck under a beautiful gum tree. Sandpiper was thoughtfully equipped (even caps for the champagne bottles!) with quirky decor that gave the place a comfy feel. Great backyard for the dogs and the Coffee and Churros shack 100m away was a bonus.

Stunning Easter 2021

The property is adequate and clean but could really benefit from a few more kitchen utensils and defintely a dishwasher.

Peaceful sounds from the beach and kookaburras

We had another wonderful stay at Sandpiper. We love hanging out on the deck under the big scribbly gum watching a myriad of parrots and other birds feeding on the Christmas bush and other trees in the garden. The house is a short stroll to the beach and our little dog enjoys the space in the backyard as well as rolling in the sand at the beach. Sandpiper is the type of place that is relaxed with space for our family to spread out for some quiet time or come together on the deck. Lots of kitchen equipment to serve up a feast and having a separate shower in the laundry was very helpful when our sandy mob needed a clean off before coming into the house. Thank you for another lovely stay.

Perfect Getaway

Great spot for a quiet South Coast getaway. Sandpiper is a two level house with plenty of space and amenities. Nicely furnished with a good kitchen. Not much to do in Callala Beach but there is a good coffee spot nearby and you are only about a five minute walk to the beach which is truly magnificent. Ideal for a peaceful little holiday.

Very clean, comfortable and good location

The house was very clean, great for our dogs and lots of bedding for two families, with the kids bunking in together downstairs. Short walk to the beach, club for dinner and a short drive to the ferry to Huskisson. We all had a great long weekend, thank you.
