Whitsunday Sands Resort is uniquely located on its own private peninsula, by the turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef. It offers all guests private access to 2 separate, magnificent beaches. On the eastern side of the resort is Horseshoe Bay, rated as one of the best beaches in Australia, while on the western side is the picturesque Greys Bay.

The guesthouse is a very nice and calm stay, with a beautiful view from the terrace. When you are enjoying the breakfast, you can even have the chance to have an interaction with the local cockatoos. Mick, you are an amazing host and a very pleasant person to have around. Cheers!
