Dirty property unfortunately
Unfortunately the property was filthy! Cobwebs in most corners, dirt and sand on floors, bathroom grime, dust, and an unclean kitchen. We left the house cleaner than when we arrived. Had to spend time fixing dishwasher and washing machine to get them working correctly. Kitchen does not match description of 'new' and 'modern appliances'. Is spacious enough for 6 adults with good parking.
We enjoyed our stay. The home in Rosebud suited our needs. There was a good sized living area and open kitchen. The kids could run outside and we could see them through the big windows, the area was all fenced in. Beds were comfortable and the beach a short drive. Anyone considering booking this property should expect the basics covered. We did have to byo towels, sheets and things like coffee, sugar, paper towels, cling wrap etc. Cons would be that the back beds need stabilizing as they moved a lot, the rooms do get warm and stuffy and it could do with a good dust. Thank you.
Happy to stay because it’s clean property/all provided and good location.comfortable for future families to stay.also many thanks to the host for her communication and help and being very friendly human being.
Many thanks host.
The host has been extremely flexible every time we attend the property. This year it was extremely clean, and we always enjoy staying in a very large place where we can keep our Jet Ski during out time in Rye. This will be the fourth year in a row that we select this property.

Disappointed
The property was fairly old, needed alot if work. Appliance were old and outdated. Cupboards had paint peeling of them.
Rooms did not look like the ones that were shown on the web site. They were small and over crowded with furniture that wasnt needed.
The house needs alot of maintenance.
Very disappointed. What was shown on the web page is not what we got

Pet friendly stay
We had a fabulous time at the property it had everything we needed for both the family and the dog and the property was close to all amenities, we will definitely be booking again. The property manager was also prompt and courteous with all communications which was very much appreciated.
Was a nice surprise to see the house was renovated since the images on the listing were taken. Deffinitely a lovely upgrade and worthy investment. The house itself was great in size and very kid friendly. However, the first half an hour of our arrival was spent cleaning as it almost didn't seem to be cleaned properly at all. Clumps of dust, crumbs covering the cabinet shelves, dusty and sticky benchtops. Nothing that wasn't fixable at least, but should look at doing more thorough cleans between stays as there is alot of area's being missed. But otherwise, nice little place and we had a great time :)

Interupted and outdated
Was definatwly below our usual standard but nicely set out and in handy.spot.. however..First 2 days was spent interrupted by maintenance that needed to be carried out on front door that wouldn't open and antena so the TV didn't work..padlock to lock the screen door could easily be unscrewed and no key for back door so not secure..
There was no basic instructions on where thi g's were or how
Basics were clean but there were loads of cobwebs dead flies and dust on hard surfaces and sills.
No fly screens meant you couldn't have any windows open unless you were prepared to be swarmed with mosquito's. There was no mozzie coils or aerogaurd provided..fly screens really need to be installed.
The bedrooms were hot and stuffy.
I nearly poked my eye out on the overgrown tree branches hovering over the deck that you had to duck under to get past.
The trip was amazing, Christina was so nice and really easy to work with to try and find keys and if we had any problems, neighbourhood was good and we loved the stay would 100% come back again. 😘

Disappointed
I expected to hear from the owner atleat a day before our stay. I sent her a message in the morning then called I the afternoon. When she answered she said her son was getting married the next day, so she was a bit busy. That's ok I said. I asked for details to access the property . She said she would send me an email with the details . Did not recieve the email and got the information on the phone from her after we reached the property 😳.
Once inside, we found crumbs on the benchtop, dusters.
For the price we paid, there was not even complimentary milk or tea bags...standard in most places
Overall, would not recommend it any of my friends.
On the bright side ,the location was great with shops and the beach within walking distance.
Our family wanted to get away to a nice area like Rosebud but regretfully made a huge mistake by choosing this property.
Things we found when we first checked in at this place:-
-Location is good, close to the beach and shops.
-Car port is spacious.
-Toilet has 2 doors so accessible while someone using the shower.
-Spacious and shady outdoor area.
-House is dusty. Cobwebs and various insects including spiders and moths found in bedrooms and throughout the house, even one live bug in one of the double beds.
-Cooking utensils are old and filthy. Must be scrubbed before use.
-The grill in the oven doesn't work and the knob for the oven is broken and cannot be set to a desired temperature. When the oven is turned off there is a residual gas smell coming out. This is quite dangerous as the whole house can be filled with natural gas if not detected.
-There is no basic kitchen necessity such as salt, sugar, oil etc. provided in the cupboard.
-The range hood is absolutely filthy, full of grease and does not suck air/smoke outside but instead circulates around the house.
-Linens are ok but were stained. Would definitely recommend to bring your own.
-There is no gas on the bbq cylinder and the tank is empty when we started using it.
-Christina did not provide check in code on the day of arrival as she said she would per her email. We had to contact her ourselves.
-We found it extremely difficult to communicate with Christina overall as she did not reply within reasonable timeframes and she came across as abrupt and defensive when feedback was provided.
-No linen was provided even though this was stated at time of booking. Had to speak to Christina to rectify.
-Fly screens in some bedrooms have holes and insects can get through into the house.
-No exhaust fan in shower.
**Unless the appliances in the house and cooking utensils are to be replaced and the whole place to be scrubbed and cleaned we would NOT recommend this place to anyone to stay, even just for a short time!
Really enjoyed staying here. Comfortable stay for my family.

About the host
Hosted by CHRISTINA
I have been renting my Holiday Home since 2006. I have four children and they have always loved going to the beach and visiting the Peninsula since they were small. It is so beautiful, restful and peaceful up there, I thought it would be lovely to offer the experiences and memories to share to other families as well. I can assure you will have lots of fun and build many fond memories for yourselves and your children as well.
Why they chose this property
This Property is very relaxed and clean, lets in lots of light ..... and the best thing is the privacy. Little children and pets are completely safe within the yard, adorned with fruit trees.. The Polished floors ensure easy maintenance.
What makes this property unique
The unique benefit is the complete privacy the high fence offers it's occupants. Only a 15 min walk to the beach. 5 min drive to the Main Shopping Plaza. Close to Rye Hot Springs.
