Everything about Sand Lake House is unquestionably 5 Stars. Check in and out, communication with Stephen and cleanliness all excellent. The house is really well equipped with many little extras to make a wonderful stay. Our group consisted of grandparents, parents and teenager. Everyone had a great time with lots to keep all of us happy. The position, of course, is superb with gorgeous views, swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding from the front lawn and jetty. A fabulous place to spend some time, highly recommended.

Amazing location and a perfect weekend getaway

We stayed with 3 other friends and their kids over the weekend, the location and the house is just fantastic, it’s one of those park your car and forget kinda holiday where we had plenty to do at the house for kids and grown ups alike. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a getaway with a group of friends or family.

Beautiful property with everything you need!

We stayed over the June long weekend with 4 couples and 2 children. The property is perfectly placed and very well equipped. The owners have thought of absolutely everything and we loved the little touches they have added! Sunsets are amazing and the jetty provided a perfect back drop for afternoons of fishing and sitting in the sun enjoying a drink or two. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing weekend away!
