Sandy Toes Beach Retreat has your choice of 3 cabins to choose from affectionately know as Sandy Toes, Shore2Please and our newest cabin Hook, Wine & Sinker.

Located within the award winning Big 4 Beach Resort Batehaven, these cabins and park are a great place for that coastal getaway.

Each cabin is fully furnished and fully equipped and has been put together with comfort and convenience in mind to ensure your next break is a relaxing one. They offer a main room, second room and sofa beds in the lounge room so can accommodate up to 7 people. Not a problem if you are having a large family gathering as we do group bookings for all 3 cabins.

The kitchens are well equipped with all the cooking utensils you would need to self cater or you can go and enjoy the two camp kitchens within the Big 4 park. Each cabin has a four burner bbq for your to use on the front decks to be able to cook up a feast for the whole family.

Alivio Tourist Park is Canberra's (if not Australia's) best tourist park. It less than 4kms from the centre of Canberra, yet is completely surrounded by bushland.

We have amazing facilities and lots of accommodation options which are perfect for families, groups or solo travelers, ranging from from 4.5 star villas through to 3.5 star cabins and motel rooms as well as caravan sites.

So next time you have family or friends coming to Canberra, stay with us at Alivio and we'll certainly look after you!

We love the simple things; making great wine and wood-fired pizzas.

What started out as one couple’s dream to grow and sell grapes has turned into an inter-generational family business. Four Winds Vineyard now grows grapes, makes wine and has a cellar door on site, so that you can come and sit amongst the vines and enjoy our wines with our delicious wood-fired pizzas.

We understand that great wines are made in the vineyard, so a lot of our energy goes into growing the best grapes. Each year we hand-prune each of our 29,000 vines to ensure each plant has the best start to the season. To allow air and light into the canopy we leaf pluck and shoot-thin through the growing season. Come harvest time we handpick the grapes so that they arrive at the winery in the best condition. We love making wine, and want to ensure we are making the best wines possible for you.

The ‘Four Winds’ Story
The property’s name ‘Four Winds’ has a long history which began with a miner and his wife living on the property in a slab-hut. Her name was Scheherazade, after the story teller in The Arabian Nights. One of the stories from The One Thousand and One Nights describes a magic carpet being borne by the four winds of good fortune. She named this small farm in Murrumbateman ‘Four Winds’ in the hope it would carry their good fortunes. We hope that the four winds carry your good fortunes!

We are located to the north of Canberra just east of Murrumbateman, on the corner of Murrumbateman Road and Patemans Lane. We planted our thirty-three acre vineyard in 1998 and 1999 with five varieties; Shiraz, Riesling, Cabernet, Merlot and Sangiovese.
