A wonderful winter getaway with our two little dogs. We loved the amazing views from the deck, especially the sunrise over Freycinet. The walk to the beach was short and easy, and apart from some birds, we had the whole beach to ourselves. The house was warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for a relaxing holiday with our pooches. We had a great time and we look forward to visiting again.

Secluded and quaint beach house

Lovely quirky little place right on the beach front. The weather was cold, wet and windy so it was a great spot to bunker down in, play board games and cook in front of the fire.

Charming house nestled among the dunes, with views across to Freycinet. We loved riding bikes along the beach and building driftwood shacks, then sinking into the retro couches to play board games and listen to music tapes. The kitchen was very well equipped, and it’s the perfect place to slow down and switch off. Clean and kid friendly Thanks very much Amelia Scotty

Clean and comfortable with amazing views

Enjoyed our stay at Dolphin Sands. Our host was easy to communicate with and checkin went very smoothly. Facilities were great with fluff white towels fully equipped kitchen including a good selection of knives (a rare find in holiday rentals) and quality crockery and appliances. Felt to us like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

Amazing and beautiful property and location.

IdleWild was perfect for us. One of the main reasons we selected it for our anniversary celebrations was because it was dog friendly. The place was clean and well organised, so close to the beach and fully fenced. We will definitely be coming back here again in the future. I will be highly recommending this place to family and friends, it was awesome!

Million dollar view and so peaceful

Fantastic view and so peaceful, it was a shame to leave. The house was very nice, modern kitchen and bathroom, but we found that the furniture was a bit old and uncomfortable.

Thanks Ian for your review. I'm sorry about the feeling of the furniture. The beds and mattresses are new but yes the sofa upstairs is about 5 years old and the other furniture is genuine mid century to create the cosy atmospshere in the house that i have put cushions on but maybe need to be re-upholstered!

Absolutely stunning

The property was exactly as we expected, it was comfortable, cosy and in the best location. The kitchen was well equipped, big tv was great with a number of streaming services available, nice to have a fire. The bed was amazingly comfortable and very welcome after a late arrival. However the best part was the absolute beach front location - beautiful.

Secluded Getaway

We loved getting away from everything at IdleWild. Nestled in the dunes with magnificent views, the 70's beach shack was perfectly quirky, cozy and comfortable. Having bikes to ride along the beach at low tide was so much fun. Suited us perfectly. Thankyou.

Beach bikes are an inspirational touch!

What a wonderful stay we had at Idle Wild. The house is extremely well set up with everything you needs. The beds were super comfy and made it easy to drift off to sleep with the sound of the waves in the background. The beach bikes were a great touch and allowed us to keep up with our dog as she galloped up and down the beach. Access to games, wifi and streaming services were also welcomed and easy to keep teenagers entertained. Thank you so much for our wonderful stay.
