Sandpiper Retreat - Freycinet Holiday Houses
Perched above the crystal waters of Great Oyster Bay, Sandpipers Retreat offers an unforgettable escape where the view is as much a part of the experience as the home itself.
Explore, Relax and Rejuvenate at this property, proudly managed by Freycinet Holiday Houses.
From the moment you step through the front door, your eyes are drawn to a breathtaking 180-degree panorama stretching across the bay.
Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the home with natural light, while the contemporary coastal design creates a welcoming space to relax, reconnect and unwind. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee as the sun rises over the water or watching the colours of the sky melt into the sea at dusk, every moment here feels special.
Spend your days exploring the region's renowned beaches and national parks, then return home with fresh local seafood, artisan produce and a bottle of Tasmanian wine. Prepare a leisurely meal in the modern, fully equipped kitchen before dining on the expansive sun-drenched deck, where the sparkling waters of Great Oyster Bay provide an ever-changing backdrop.
The split-level home comfortably accommodates families, couples and groups of friends, featuring four spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms and generous open-plan living and dining areas designed for both comfort and connection.
On cooler evenings, settle inside with heating throughout the home and complimentary Wi-Fi, or gather outdoors around the barbecue while the sea breeze drifts through the gardens.
Set privately away from the road in a quiet cul-de-sac, Sandpipers Retreat offers peace and seclusion, with ample parking and space for both a boat and trailer—perfect for those eager to explore the surrounding waters.
A private walking track leads directly to the beach just minutes from your door, while Freycinet National Park, local beaches, the jetty, shops and cafés are only a short drive away.
Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a family holiday or a getaway with friends, Sandpipers Retreat is a place where spectacular scenery, thoughtful comfort and the natural beauty of Coles Bay come together to create lasting memories.

Very comfortable and great location. We loved our early morning walks on the beach and sitting on the deck watching the sunset.
We would recommend this property for a holiday location.
Enjoyed the property and surrounds. Only negative- the outside deck & furntiure had not been cleaned and floors in upstairs bathroom/ toilet not properly cleaned. Would have been good to have a clothes dryer.
The property is well located near the beach (5 mins walk), has a good view of the bay.
Freycinet Holiday Houses is a good host, responsive and accommodating.
The property however has some defects that requires attention. The oven’s not cleaned and the beds are very basic.
What a fantastic location, right on the beach at Cole’s Bay and 10min to Freycinet National Park.
We spent 2 days at Sandpiper on our visit to Freycinet Peninsula and Wineglass Bay. It was fantastic to be able to walk directly to the beach and stroll along the shore of Cole’s Bay and, at the same time, be only 10min drive from the National Park.
Large, clean and modern house suitable for families and groups. Good communication with hosts. Will be back!
