Our stay brought back such nostalgia for my local childhood holidays. A joy to bring my own kids to. Beautiful little stay in the rammed earth chalet. Big grass area right our from the back patio. Thoughtfully designed so the chalets all incase the grass and playground area which it make it really safety for kids to wander around without going near any roads. Beautifully kept property. We will definitely be back

Hi Rebecca. What a lovely review...thank you! We couldn't agree more that Sandy Bay is a special little place offering everything you need, but also a simple 'get away from it all'.
Love staying here, great location, close enough to town but far enough away to feel secluded. Beautiful beach on the doorstep, great amenities and friendly staff. Great communication from the property also. Thank you.

Thank you so much for excellent review Stephen. We are very fortunate to be so well located in a quiet spot, right beside the beach and yet so close to local amenities. We are pleased you had a great stay and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Loved the grounds and quiet of the whole area and being able to walk to the beach. Love the fire. The beds were not super comfortable. the only thing :)

Many thanks for taking time to give us a review. We are very pleased that you had a great stay. I don't understand you saying the shops are far away as we have a chemist, grocery store, newsagent, baker, fish 'n chip shop and Stilts Bar and Grill one street away from us.
Very cosy and is located in a good place. It blends in with other housing and is right near the beach. It is also only 10 minutes away from the jetty and located just off bussel highway.

A fantastic location only a short walk to the beach. we stayed in the Swiss Chalets and they are well set up with front and rear access. plenty of grass areas and lots of shade. A very quiet and safe park.

what a great place to stay,very comfortable and in a good location ,close to beach,the staff were very friendly and accommodating.The only thing I could pick is there could of been a couple more bbqs when the place got busy.Maybe the swiss chalets need an upgrade ie lighting very dim and better power points and maybe air-conditioning,but overall what a fantastic place.

Centrally Located. Within a short walk to a lovely beach and short drive to Busselton & Dunsborough shops and restaurants. Short drive to all the wineries, breweries and produce farms in the area. Very comfortable and clean with a great wood fire for cold nights. Has every thing you need for home away from home. Will stay here again.

The Sandy Bay satisfies all the needs for a short local holiday. The reception staff are the friendliest around and can provide all sorts of local advice. It is an excellent location close to service facilities and a short drive to the magnificent sights the south-west has to offer.

Close to the beach, loved the fire place. Fresh wood daily. Agree with some of the rules in place like washing up your dishes but been told to choice your bed wisely or you will be charge extra cleaning costs is a little harsh.
Overall it was pleasant and enjoyable.

Not our first holiday to Busselton but not disappointed with our stay in the armed earth cottage only meters from the beach. Four adults and 12 yo were comfortable in the two bedroom accommodation. Cozy log fire at night with pre-cut timber provided daily. Common areas were clean and in good repair. Enjoyed our stay.

Expensive even for peak holiday time, minimum requirements only provided. No flysceen on door, exactly 4 plates, kids had to share a bed, only one hand towel to share, one face washer no change of linen or towels. Decor old and tired. Lots of lists of rules! Great location for the beach

Dear guest, we are sorry we didn't meet your expectations. Bedding configuration can be specifically requested so that every kid has it's own bed, there are only a few chalets which have double beds in the second bedroom. We indeed provide towels etc according to the number of people staying however if need be we are more than happy to provide extra at no charge to you. You will find that the price is in line with the pricing of the area at peak season.
Thank you again for your comments. We value feedback greatly as this allows us to improve how we operate. Kind regards, Sandy Bay Holiday Park
The Caravan Park is right on the beach, with walkways a short distance from the Caravan Park. It is a beautiful, quite location. Staff were very friendly.

Despite being winter and raining the accommodation was great... cosy tile fire which if possible was too hot at times... perfect location..

Response from Nicole on 30 Nov,2016
Dear Siwel, thank you for having taken the time to review us on Expedia. Unfortunately your chalet was left with stains on the carpet as well as on our lounges which is why we charged you for additional cleaning. Pictures of the chalet had been provided to you. You will find that this is common practice in holiday accommodations.
Feel free to contact us again should there be any outstanding issues. Kind regards, Sandy Bay Holiday Park
The chalets are a bit tired and in need of upgrades which we understand have started, but we just love staying here.
