Great host and well appointed property. Lots of small extras to make our stay more enjoyable. Would recommend this property for immediate and extended families
Our hosts are very welcoming and easy to deal with. The house had everything we needed for our stay. We were return visitors and would be very happy to book this house again. Excellent.
Barbara was an amazing host and her home is so lovely. Everything was provided from bed linen to towels which made it such an easy 2 night get away. Huge spaces, pet friendly and very relaxing. We had a lovely weekend and can’t wait to visit again!
5 out of 5 stars! We had a fantastic stay at Barbara’s place and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Communication from start to finish was amazing - Barbara was friendly, responsive and made everything so easy. The house itself was absolutely wonderful - beautifully set up, comfortable, and felt like a real home away from home (and so much space with the two lounge areas!). It was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, and we especially loved how dog‑friendly it was. The fully enclosed backyard was a huge bonus and meant our dogs could enjoy the stay just as much as we did - total peace of mind. The location is also excellent - quiet and relaxing, yet close to everything we needed (torquay shops, jan juc beach). Overall, this was a fantastic experience and we would happily stay here again. Thanks so much, Barbara!
This property was very clean and exactly as described.

About the host
Hosted by Barbara Smith
We have always loved the Surf Coast and have owned the Sand Chook since 2012. Our family are keen surfers and our house has ready access to the beautiful Torquay and Jan Juc beaches. Our house is perfect for families. We enjoy sharing it with our guests and have made many improvements over the years.
Why they chose this property
The Sand Chook has lovely views over Jan Juc. Our elevated position means we capture the sea breezes and wake up to beautiful sunrises. There are many walking trails to Jan Juc beach and village as well as to Torquay. It is only a five-minute bike ride to check the surf. A short drive away are many mountain bike trails. We never feel crowded even on hot summer days. It is a great location!
What makes this property unique
Absolute attention to detail. We provide our guests with all the amenities they would expect in their own home. We stock the pantry with staples which guests are welcome to use. We want our house to be a 'home away from home'.
