Sandalwood is a luxurious and well-equipped retreat in a tropical paradise. The combination of a large swimming pool, spa, Balinese Pavilion, and a spacious deck with valley view’s creates a perfect setting for relaxation and entertainment. The inclusion of a gas BBQ, lounges, and dining area on the deck adds to the appeal, making it an ideal space for outdoor gatherings. The expansive lawns are a great addition, providing guests with the opportunity to engage in outdoor activities and games while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The presence of an indoor fireplace makes the property suitable for year-round stays, providing warmth and coziness during the winter months. The high-end fully equipped kitchen and grand dining table suggest a focus on providing guests with a top-notch culinary experience. This, combined with the separate sitting room for entertainment or relaxation, adds to the overall comfort and convenience. The option to use the separate sitting room as an office space or an additional bedroom with a Queen-size mattress offers flexibility for different guest needs. The location of Sandalwood, situated between two fantastic beaches within walking or a short driving distance, further enhances the appeal of the property, providing guests with easy access to the coastal beauty of the area. Overall, Sandalwood is like a luxurious and versatile vacation home, offering a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor amenities in a stunning tropical setting.
I love being the host of Sandalwood Guest House in the beautiful setting of Avoca Beach. With a background in training and hospitality management, coupled with experience in owning a large restaurant and function centre, I bring a wealth of expertise to the hosting experience. I enjoy traveling and all things hospitality-related which contributes to the thoughtful design and amenities of Sandalwood. My decision to settle in Avoca Beach, a place known for relaxation and fun, adds to the allure of Sandalwood Guest House for guests seeking a tranquil and enjoyable getaway. Many guests find the arrangement of having caretaker/owners living in a separate cottage on the property is a thoughtful touch. It provides guests with a sense of privacy while knowing that assistance is readily available when needed. My availability to answer questions during the guest stay and upon arrival, coupled with the intention to make myself scarce otherwise, strikes a good balance between being an attentive host and giving guests space to fully enjoy their vacation. I have created a welcoming and well-managed space for guests to experience the beauty of Avoca Beach. My wealth of experience in hospitality adds an extra layer of professionalism to the hosting experience, making Sandalwood a desirable destination for travelers seeking a luxurious and comfortable retreat.
