Offering an unrivalled friendly welcome and ‘home away from home’ experience we are just a five minute walk from the town centre. We share all our favourite spots and tips for a bespoke tailored time while visiting our cool little town.
We pride ourselves on our large beds, hotel grade mattresses, quality linens, hungarian goose down pillows and duvets ensuring a sumptuous and well rested sleep. Dine at one of our recommended restaurants or prepare a banquet for your family in our fully equipped kitchen.
Relax by the fire in our cosy lounge or chill out in the private infinity beach garden listening to the crashing waves just metres away. The sunset on our front lawn will take your breath away as it lights up the sky and the moon says goodnight dropping slowly into the Tasman Sea.
After dark stroll to the glow worm dell, light a bonfire in our bonfire pit or sink into our stargazing bathtub under the milky way. You will really understand why just one night is never enough.
Leave fully rested, rejuvenated and fuelled for your onward adventures. Your satisfaction is at the heart of our every offering…
This is Drifting Sands.
