Pelican Point Sanctuary

Lovely, tranquil accommodation with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the salt marshlands - we enjoyed watching the bird life. The unit was well equiped, clean and modern with a comfy bed and is only a short drive from St Helens. The hosts were friendly and very helpful, particularly when the power was out due to a storm. We would definitely stay here again.

Situated within 87 acres of a beautiful natural environment by the shores of Georges Bay, this was a perfect place to relax for two nights and just enjoy the tranquility of the nature surrounding us. If you are a little bit into birds (like we are) you are well catered for, with binoculars and bird identification book provided. There is a bird hide down by the water’s edge, to view the numerous Black swans, White-faced herons and other aquatic birds, White-fronted chats breeding in the heath shrubs and Superb Fairy-wrens in the grasses. Then there are honeyeaters, wattle-birds, etc in the trees and shrubs around the grounds, the occasional raptor overhead, and add the soothing background sounds of frogs and cicadas. Just our idea of bliss! We stayed in Sandpiper apartment, which was modern, spacious,very well furnished and the kitchen well equipped for self catering. The owners live on the property and maintain it well, and are delightful to meet and talk to. We wish our stay at Pelican Point could have been longer.
