When the tide goes out — a guide to low-water walks
The best time to see the bay is the hour nobody else is out.
Read the note →A boutique hideaway on Driftwood Bay
Eighteen sea-view rooms, a beachfront terrace, a tidal-wellness spa — and not a single alarm clock.
Sun loungers, cold towels and a bar that never closes before sunset.
Line-caught and garden-grown, on the table within hours of landing.
Free boards, lessons at dawn and a reliable little point break out front.
Est. 1987
A family inn, grown slow
What began as a four-room guesthouse above a fisherman's shed is now a full boutique hotel — run by the same family, at the same unhurried pace. Nothing about Sable Cove is chain-standard, and we intend to keep it that way.
Rooms & suites
Every room faces the water. The only real question is how close you want to be.
Most loved
King bed, balcony over the dunes, walk-in rain shower. Sleeps two.
Sea view
Separate living room, freestanding bath at the window, four-poster bed.
Self-catered
Our garden cottage — kitchenette, fire pit and a hammock under the palms.
Experiences
Guided, genuine and unhurried. Led by people who grew up on this water.
Boards, wet suits and a patient local coach. Flat water most mornings — perfect for first-timers.
Mask, fins and a marine guide to the clear side of the bay. Turtles are frequent guests.
Ten seats, one long table, whatever the catch was this morning. Book the night before.
Salt-pool mornings, sunset yoga on the terrace, and massages timed to the tide.
The hospitality band
Most of our team have been here a decade or more. They know your name by the second morning, your coffee by the third, and the best table for tonight's sunset without being asked.
Guest book
"The staff remembered our names — and our order — by day two. We extended twice and still didn't want to leave."
"The dawn surf lesson was worth the whole trip. Patient coaches, warm water, and coffee waiting when we came in."
"Four kids, zero stress. The kitchen table dinner became the favourite memory of our whole holiday."
