Pelican Sands Scamander

Dealing with Shelley was absolutely wonderful, lovely reception and service. The room was clean and spacious, the spa was the selling point for us! Such a small walk to the beach, there’s food just up the road & the views were beautiful. There was slight construction next to us which we could barely hear, and were warned about, and the rooms are very soundproof — couldn’t hear any of our neighbours either. Would definitely stay again & recommend to others, no complaints!

Simply: paradise.
Pelican Sands is a place that seems straight out of a fairytale. Your soul is filled with peace; it's wonderful. And Shelley, with her hospitality… what a wonderful person, what a big heart. I will always remember her, beautiful. Fantastic room, full of amenities. Kayaks are available; you can also go at night in those calm waters and catch a few things ☺️. Fantastic, wonderful, incredible. 100%. Thank you so much, Shelley🩷.

Great location and even better Host, thanks Shelly😊
We loved our stay here very central to everything we wanted. It was lovely to relax on our outdoor deck and view the area where the river meets the sea.
Shelly was also available to take anyone who wanted to go Prawn fishing and a great time was had by all.
Great stay at this spot thanks Shelly and Pelican Sands Scamander.
Cheers.
Debbie, Kym, Wayne and Vicki.

Our second time staying here & the rooms are always clean & the rooms are beautiful with the most stunning view of the waterfront. Toni the manager is outstanding & fantastic to deal with. Thanks again for another beautiful stay! 😁

What a gem, we have just spent 4 fantastic nights here and everything was terrific. So handy to all the highlights of the East Coast and hinterland, wonderful views and direct access to the river and ocean beach. Easy to spend hours on the deck watching and listening to all the sea birds, oh! and maximum day Pelican count? sixteen, just magnificent. Shelley is a great host and we had great laughs when she took all of us prawning one night. Thanks Shelley we will be back.

A lovely time away with the family!
We stayed in the 2 bedroom unit which was roomy enough for all 4 of us. The fully equipped kitchen was handy to cook dinner and had everything we needed. The kids loved finding a cupboard full of fun board games and some books to read at night — that was a nice surprise. We didn’t use the kayaks but will save that for next visit when we have more time.
The location is so easy, the beach is right out the front and the kids were delighted to find not one, but 5 Pelicans at the beach. A short walk across the main bridge will take you to a fun playground and cafes, and is easy to manage with the kids.
Check in/check out was a breeze, the beds were comfy and everyone enjoyed their stay.
Thanks Shelley for hosting us!

Shelly is a great host. Everything was ready for our arrival. The apartment was cosy and everything is there for what you need in a self contained apartment.

Looking straight out the back window, the view, amazing, the great East coast of Tassie.
.
To see, hear and smell the ocean is magic, I loved falling asleep to this sound.

We took advantage of using the kayaks to explore the river with the kids.
Absolutely nothing.

We always have a terrific stay, the view is awesome, rooms are super comfortable, lots of walks and coffee, pizzas fish and chips just a stone throw away.
Bird life is so beautiful, just walk 10 meters on lawn in front and you are in the water, we come every year. Our own deck in front to sit have a drink a meal, the stars, moon at night are breathtaking every night. Kayaks are free, ocean swims are amazing.
A must stay!

We were lucky enough to see 4 pelicans on the first morning of our stay. The unit had everything we needed. Shelley was lovely and very helpful. Enjoyed our stay so much we have rebooked for next month. Highly recommend to families and couples.

Had a fantastic stay at this wonderful place. Great location with a nice, spacious, room. Plenty of amenities, an amazing view, and great service from excited and caring staff. Highly recommend this place to anyone passing by the region (I'm happy that I choose to stay here instead of St — Helens).
Note that there's quite a ledge between the parking and the entry to the rooms, I'm not sure if there's a wheelchair accessible area/room.
Internet was very quick on my cellphone, but for some reason my laptop struggled a lot with getting reception. Only place I could get decent Wi-Fi on my laptop was over the bathroom sink for some reason.

Had the pleasure of staying here last night. The place is absolutely beautiful. The room was great with everything you could need/want even had the wife cook me steak dinner 😀 it's right on the waters edge too. Do yourself a favour and stay here it won't disappoint. We'll be back again for sure.

If comfort were an Olympic sport, Pelican Sands would take home the gold. From the moment we walked in, everything felt just right — cozy, calm, and charmingly beachy. But let’s talk about the real star of the show: the bed. Oh. My. Goodness. It was like being gently hugged by a cloud that had gone to luxury school.
A must stay on the coast!

Recently had a wonderful stay at Pelican Sands — from booking to check out, Shelley had great communication and was a pleasure to talk to. The room was beautiful with everything needed and such a convenient location with amenities (cafe, pub ect) a short walk over the bridge. The view from the room was so lovely too!

This was the most gorgeous place to stay for our anniversary! The owners were lovely and the hot tub was amazing! I can’t wait to visit again.

Loved our stay. Only problem was we didn't stay long enough. Great 2 bed house for our family with everything you need for your stay and to top it off walk straight outside to watch the sunrise over the water. Shelley was a wonderful host and made sure we were looked after so well. We used the kayaks and enjoyed the estuary and also caught some fish. Perfect spot when heading south after exploring bay of fires. We will be back!

We have just spent three days at Pelican Sands, although the weather wasn't great, we still had a wonderful time. Room and decor very tasteful, bed super comfy. Shelly is an amazing host, we will be back.

We’ve just spent four wonderful nights at Pelican Sands in Scamander. From the moment we arrived, our host Shelley, made us feel so welcome.
The accommodation is simple but has everything we needed, including a small kitchenette with a fridge, microwave, and induction stove. The bed was very comfortable, and we felt right at home.
The real magic is the location. When we opened up the curtains in morning the views over the estuary were stunning and the nearby beaches are just a short stroll away. We also loved watching the pelicans swimming on the water. This has been a perfect base for our exploring the local region.
Thank you, Shelley, for making our time in Scamander so enjoyable!
