10/10 Excellent
"What a great location, on the beach looking across the bay to Freycinet. Close to many great wineries and Cole’s Bay. We stocked up at the supermarket (IGA), with a great pub at the end of the street (walking distance). Such a great place to chill with a new beach seemingly around every corner or over every hill is another beautiful beach. Great spot to base and explore the Cole’s Bay region."

"The room was clean and spacious. The view was breathtaking and the walking areas were stunning for nature lovers like me. I his would be the best comfortable stay in Bicheno that you can get The bed was slightly uncomfortable in terms of the price we paid . The advertised penguin viewing is underwhelming and the best viewing areas were cordoned off in the evening leading to 5-6 penguins maximum available for viewing. Ideally , this should be open for resort guests as this is too close to the venue and we have paid premium for the stay . The other operator has a monopoly and we are stuck if we cannot get the booking from that operator"

"We thought the resort was lovely, esp being so close to beach. Yes I did swim each day even though it was august. We were told property was wheelchair friendly but you need to have some Mobility. A lot of gravel made chair use a little tricky and a couple More grab rails in bathroom would have been good along with a bench in shower. Breakfast each day would be good as you are a short drive to town. Need to plan for dinner as Sunday and Monday restaurant is shut. Room Could have had a slightly better clean each day as I did leave a bit of sand about from The beach. But beds/heating/location and comfort were amazing."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Dolphin Sands?
The best area to stay in Dolphin Sands is along the main beachfront stretch, particularly around the central part of Dolphin Sands Road.This area is characterised by its direct access to the long, sandy beach, which is superb for strolls and offers stunning views across Great Oyster Bay towards the Freycinet Peninsula. Accommodation here typically consists of private holiday homes and a few boutique guesthouses, many with elevated positions to maximise the ocean vistas. It's a relatively spread-out community, so a car is essential for exploring.For couples seeking a relaxing retreat, this central beachfront area is ideal. You'll find properties that offer privacy, direct beach access, and often luxurious amenities like private decks, hot tubs, or well-equipped kitchens for self-catering. The focus here is on unwinding, enjoying the natural beauty, and perhaps spotting dolphins or whales directly from your accommodation.Families will also find this area highly suitable. The expansive beach provides ample space for children to play, build sandcastles, and explore in a calm environment. Many holiday homes are designed with families in mind, offering multiple bedrooms, spacious living areas, and often outdoor spaces for barbecues.
When is the best time to go to Dolphin Sands?
The best time to go to Dolphin Sands is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, making it ideal for beach activities and exploring the natural beauty of the area.During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 17°C to 25°C, with plenty of sunshine and minimal rainfall. This weather is great for swimming, sunbathing, kayaking, and enjoying the walking trails along the coastline. The waters of Great Oyster Bay are inviting, and the longer daylight hours mean more time for outdoor adventures.For those who prefer a slightly cooler but still pleasant climate, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are also excellent choices. Temperatures are milder, typically between 12°C and 20°C, and the crowds are generally smaller. This makes it a good time for couples seeking a more tranquil escape, as you can still enjoy the beaches and local attractions without the peak season bustle.
