Sands End is one of my favourite places to stay along the Great Ocean Road, simply because of the views, proximity to the beach/pub/cafe/store (close but quiet and private), and its simple beach house charm. Though it doesn't have the same 'thoughtful touches' that some other places provide, like suitable coffee for the machine, outdoor blankets, mozzie coils, binoculars etc. Sensor lights at the front door and path to downstairs rooms would be helpful. If you've got a large group, note the single bathroom. Birds delightful to watch and regularly stop by to see what's cooking. Enjoy!
