Welcome to Sandy Feet Retreat.

★★★★★  Five stars from our first guests on Airbnb
When are you coming?

A stillness you will find here in Second Valley, as the last of the swimmers dust sand off their shoulders, the sky slips from pinkish lavender into a night untainted by the city, soft under the ghost of the Milky Way. Beautiful, serene, untouched and unmarred, Sandy Feet Retreat awaits you.

Leave your shoes and worries at the door

The mornings are quiet here, and the magpies drop by to say good morning. Coffee is a wander down the lane, where you can watch the sea wake with the sun. Afternoons drift, lazy and warm. The evenings by the fire in winter are a blessing, while in summer the air conditioning and fans work wonders after a cool dip.

This is where we come to switch off, and we hope you will too. It is our home away from home, and we hope it is the same for you.
