The four bedroom residence at Sandy Toes Retreat is called "Yarrahapinni". It is made up of 2 units that are connected with an internal door ("Yarrahapinni" is made up of "Yarra" and "Hapinni" units). This large space therefore includes 2 extra large living areas with an extra large couch in each, 2 dining tables each seating 6 adults comfortably, 2 large bathrooms each with a washing machine and dryer. There is 2 fully equipped kitchens. The two master bedrooms have a king size bed in each and the 2 other bedrooms have 2 double beds in each of them - 12 people (strict maximum) (maximum of 8 adults) will be very comfortable in this space. This allows two families or households to holiday together whilst still maintaining a private and personal space as might be required.
There is also 2 outdoor dining areas looking over the huge 90,000L salt water swimming pool - for your use. Also for your private use is a BBQ area. It too has ample covered seating, a large Webber BBQ, small kitchen and bathroom facilities. It has spectacular sweeping views of Trial Bay and South West Rocks. When booking "Yarrahapinni", you secure the exclusive use of the bbq area and pool area.
All linen including sheets, towels and pool towels are included. Tea and coffee and kitchen and bathroom “starter packs” - salt pepper oil toilet paper etc., are also provided. There is ample parking for cars and boats and a secure pin-code access gate upon entry to the property. We are not a hotel.

Beaches, Diving and Fishing
From a range of surf beaches to the shallow, sandy stretches of Trial Bay, there's a patch of sand here just right for you! Why not try scuba diving at the world renowned Fish Rock? Anglers consider South West Rocks to be one of the best fishing areas on the Mid North Coast with beach, river or deep-sea fishing.
 
Whale Watching
Peak whale watching season is June through to October when the migrating whales stop to enjoy the warm waters of Trial Bay and Smoky Cape. The Hi Spy viewing machine at the Entertainment Area is the perfect location to see the whales breaching in Trial Bay. Alternatively, head up to Smoky Cape Lighthouse for a 180 degree panoramic views across the ocean.

Dining Out
There are several quality restaurants with a choice of fresh local seafood, chinese, italian, as well as a variety of take-away options.
