I think answering this question requires a very fine definition of what a didactic novel is.
Personally, I would say Sense and Sensibility is a didactic novel, meaning that it is primarily intended to instruct, but the reason I would say this is entirely because I believe Jane Austen would not have written it without intending a strong moral message, and the entertainment value is secondary to that.
Nevertheless, the reaction to it is almost entirely on of being entertained, and the feeling of being taught or instructed is almost entirely absent. So I would be inclined to accept an answer saying it was not didactic.
