What people say
Great spot to launch our kayaks for a nice paddle
Fabulous views over the Basin. Very peaceful and quiet
Supported by a Skate Park and half a basket ball court with a few exercise facilities, it more than serves it's purpose with rugby league and cricket being played at summer and winter. Also holding annual community events in the past: Spring into Sanctuary Point Festival. When the new Bob Proudfoot Pavillion will built, that will make the area better.
Would have thought that the money the club made hosting a semi finals that they could have at least marked the lines.
Neat clean town. Small mall with necessities. Stayed with friends so cannot speak about motels or other places to stay. I did visit some holiday rentals which were very nice and clean on previous stay. Has a good country club with a number of activities and entertainments. A lot of road works on Princes Hwy to get there. But I would definitely recommend a visit or stay there.
