Shifting Sands

Perfect for our 2 families. The kitchen has everything you need and more. Plenty of space for 2 families even when the weather turns bad the deck was perfect to sit and play board games.

Great views, spacious house in a lovely location.

Beautiful spacious holiday house in a perfect location and ideal for families.

Shifting Sands is a well appointed house with a large kitchen, family room and deck. With all the bedrooms located downstairs, a private yard, cubby house and safety gates on the stairs this was perfect for the young members of our family.

We were two couples and one child in this house for 5 nights and it was certainly spacious enough. The view was great from the balcony, which was a highlight.

The bedrooms and living areas were a good size and the kitchen bench enormous. There was adequate kitchen ware which was good too.

However we were surprised that there we no bins provided in the bathrooms or toilets. There was a basket in the main bathroom but that was obviously not sufficient for sanitary products. There was no hairdryer and also no hand towel for the upstairs toilet. If the owners fix these few small issues I think this house is a good option for a couple of families.

Regarding location, it is quite a steep walk to the beach (especially on the way up!) so a car is definately recommended.

Beautiful house to stay in!

We have stayed at Shifting Sands twice now and it's been the perfect place to bring our UK friends for a Straddie holiday. The ocean view is stunning and plenty of room to keep out of each others way. Only a minute or so drive down to the beach. The house is very well maintained and clean. Absolutely would highly recommend.

A fantastic beach house - great location, very comfortable with all amenities, ocean views and an amazing deck. Have booked it again!

Shifting Sands ticked all the boxes for our family stay. House was very clean and yard was in perfect condition. It has fabulous views and we spotted heaps of whales. A clothes dryer would be beneficial as we had some inclement weather and washing bath towels was awkward, also only four bowls so we had to take turns to have cereal and dessert!

We had a lovely stay at Shifting Sands. We really enjoyed watching whales from the deck and swimming at nearby Cylinder Beach. A great spot for a family getaway

A great house for families. The house is well appointed with everything you need for a great holiday. The house design and position means cooling breezes are enjoyed at all times.

Wonderful, we just love the lay back vibe of straddie. The people there are so friendly. The house we stay at every year is perfect for us grest views close to beaches shops etc but far enough away for quiet and relaxation.
The beaches so second to nine we just love it.
Plus ray white make it so easy to vacation there.

Wonderful, large house with everything you need for the perfect Straddie escape. Can't wait to return next year

We love Shifting Sands. It is perfect for all of our needs.

Great holiday fabulous house cool comfortable with great views.Plenty of room for everyone. Back next year

Wonderful property! We were delighted with our accommodation. It was great to have gates at the top of the stairs to keep the little one in and the kids loved the cubby house and sand pit. The house was so well equipped with everything we could possibly need for our stay plus extras like beach seats, boogie boards, every imaginable wine glass and much more. We had a problem with noisy neighbours on Friday night but this was handled efficiently and promptly by your lovely staff member. We cannot fault this property and hope to return.

Love it. We've stayed twice now and have booked again already for 2021. Cant wait

Our third annual holiday at Shifting Sands and again was a hard place to leave. Beautiful house perfectly set up for large families. Our children appreciate the large yard and cubby house. Beautiful deck and comfortable furnishings although main bedroom bed is a bit hard but all other beds very comfortable. Huge island bench is a perfect place to set up a huge holiday puzzle. Our favourite place to stay when at Straddie.

We have been holidaying at this property for a number of years and continue to enjoy the facilities it offers. We appreciate that the owners seem to be making small upgrades each year which indicates they take pride in the property they own.
