Comfortable and relaxing with a friendly vibe
Pros:

Peaceful homely and comfortable. Old fashioned beach-holiday vibe. Long beach walks. We really relaxed. Owner John very helpful and friendly. ( we didn’t meet Annette) Sandpiper is their home so it’s not just a business, but personal with lots of thoughtful touches.

We will remember Sandpiper with great fondness
Pros:

We loved everything: the commodious cottage, the warm and interesting owners, the delicious breakfast tray, and the location—a few minutes down a sandy path to the widest, emptiest and most beautiful beach we’ve ever walked. This place is a gem!

Cons:

Zero

Pros:

Comfortable, well equipped cottage located minutes from the beach. Nice welcome pack. Friendly host.

Bellissimo posto dove rilassarsi in un posto wild
Pros:

Abbiamo preso 2 cottage. Erano tutti nel verde a 50 metri dalla bellissima e lunghissima spiaggia senza nessuno. Ampi e comodi con parcheggio di fronte al cottage e terrazzo dove mangiare all'esterno.

Cons:

Qualche riparazione alle zanzariere sarebbe opportuna.

Excellent find, have been holidaying in Bicheno for many years and will certainly be back here.
Pros:
