Overall Ratings & Reviews The Sandcastle

This property is at a beautiful location. The accommodation has a lovely stream in front. Seaview and (native) trees. The cabin looks nice but wasn't overly clean and could do with some love and maintenance. Unfortunately there was a course happening right in front of the cabin we stayed in, this course was on exactly during the time of our stay. We experienced this as disturbing and didn't add to a pleasant peaceful stay.

We arrived and were personally greeted by Steve. I’ve been too many accommodations in my life and I have never had a host like Steve. He was absolutely superb. We originally planned to stay for two nights and because of the.Bonhomie of the place we stayed a total of six days and five nights. We would have stayed all the way to the end of our trip. This was an unexpected find and you have a really open mind. I highly recommended to book this place. Just remember, it’s not the faint heart.

nice friendy people.

Great place, affordable, beautiful nature around, really nice host. Not far to next town. I recommend it!

We loved our cabin at The Sandcastle. It was spacious and had a rustic old holiday camp feel about it. If you are expecting pristine modern accommodation, this is not the place for you. The setting is beautiful and only a 5-10 minute walk from one end of Pahora beach. Kitchen had all we needed to cook some meals in, although no oven, it had 2 hot plates and a microwave, toaster and kettle. Bathroom had no shampoo or soap so bring your own. The beds were comfy and towels are provided. On the Saturday evening, Steve the engaging owner got the neat outdoor pizza oven going and you just provide your own toppings, he does the dough and passata. It was a great way to chat to him and other guests for a few hours with some drinks. We felt sad to leave after 2 nights.

Great hostes

Stayed here with my parents and 2 month old baby - it was glorious! So tranquil. A really special place. Easy walk to the beach and nearby eateries. Backing onto the mountains, so super quiet. Host was so nice and accommodating. Cooked us all lovely pizzas in the outdoor oven (be sure to give him a days warning, though!) Free yoga and massages. And lots of beautiful sights within easy driving distance. Complete bliss. And super good value for money. Please book here! You won’t regret it!!

Super location. Unique property, we loved it.

Always feels like home away from home

Great hospitality, lovely and great place to stay.

Lovely people & location! Very fun & friendly. Paradise for the kids & dog. Great value. Steve and staff were exceptionally hospitable. We loved Pizza night. Our cabin was very clean, comfortable and cozy.

A repeat visit to the Sandcastle for us, we have always enjoyed it but now after a refurb it is even cleaner and better value. Excellent start to 2025.

Very peaceful and friendly

The owner was so kind with us, good spot to take rest, enyoy the views and the beach

It was friendly and had unexpected but great entertainment for the kids

It was layed back and owner very friendly and helpful 🙂

If you like rustic charm then this could be the place for you. The cabin had a lot of natural grain wood finish if that's your thing, natural quiet surroundings, horses and an outdoor pizza oven. The owner is very friendly and check out times are very relaxed. Will definitely stay there again if we are in the area.

Great having the hall.The table tennis and the piano were awesome for the children and adults to play in on a wet weekend.

Good basic but spacious accommodation

Liked everything about the place 😌
