We had a good time at this cute little place, which has lovely retro beach house vibes.Since it was a cold, rainy weekend we appreciated the heater and wood burner and the many puzzles we found in the cupboard. The place was clean and well equipped and it's in walking distance to the beach, what else could you ask for? Definitely recommend!

Wattle Haven Bliss
We have been coming to Sandy Point for over 20 years and this has been one of our most memorable stays. Wattle Haven is a gem, so comfortable, peaceful and every detail has been considered for a wonderful holiday. We were excited to have a visit one day from our 2 year old grand child - excited to have them experience the magic of Sandy Point, the accommodation at Wattle Haven is safe, warm and inviting for all ages.
