This place was perfect, with enough room for a large group if you have one. It was extremely Pet friendly which was why we chose it. ALL the other places that said they were pet friendly actually said they didn't have secure yards when I contacted them directly which meant I had to do a lot of work to find somewhere truly pet friendly. When I contacted the host for this place they let me know the whole property was secured by a large fence. It didn't click until we arrived but they really meant the whole property. So not only was it pet friendly but it was also nice and private. My dog is usually a bit nervous when we arrive in new places but she immedietly started exploring the grounds, she LOVED it. My friends and I all got a room to ourselves. Somewhat old school vibes and not too fancy, just exactly what you need for a quiet time away. We are hoping to book this house again next year.
Great space and amenities.Close to beach, restaurants and shops.

No bath towels available which was very disappointing especially after our events. Very challenging to read numbers in locks in the evening even with lights. The rest was fine.

I did advise guest in advance to bring their own towels. If they really wanted them for a special occasion I can provide. I wasn't asked. However I do provide towels for special occasions or long distance guests.
The property was clean and comfortable and spacious, and it was good to be able to have our dog with us, however, there were a few small things that would have made the difference. Towels, toiletries and a hairdryer would have been great to have and a device to light the stove top. It was also difficult to use the TV remote, as the batteries were only held in by tape. However, all in all, it was a comfortable stay with most amenities that you would require.

I did used to have a hairdryer in the bathroom drawer however, it disappeared recently. I can get another hairdryer, no problem. If a guest needs special items for their particular stay I can provide it. Handwash and soap was provided, All cleaning products are provided. Guests usually bring their own Personal shampoos, toothpaste etc. Coffee Tea Milk sugar were all provided. 3 rolls of toilet paper was provided.
Christina has been very welcoming and kind. The accomodation was fun and relaxing. Lots of room and a great garden for our dog to run around in safely. Close to a lovely beach in a great area. A fish and chips and pizza shop around the corner, and Coles is a 5 min drive away.

Hi Belinda,
Thanks. Looking forward to hosting you again in the future.
Cheers C
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.
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 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. 😘

Hi Sienna,
Thanks for your review. It was a pleasure to accommodate you. I wish you and your group a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.
Cheers

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.

The website states BYO towels. Dressed beds are provided for an additional fee. Nevertheless, there are sheets and towels in the cupboard. However at Xmas time there is not much time in between guest changeover so I suggest BYO sheets. It's easier as I can keep the costs down if guests provide their own.
Yes the back room bed is on castors. I shall provide little rubber coasters to keep it from moving. Thanks

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.

I was there at the home when the guests arrived. I had just pino cleaned the kitchen, sink and benches and the bathroom. I was literally sweeping and mopping the floor as they arrived. I swept and mopped every room and the rugs were vacuumed. The husband loved it and complimented the house. He promptly relaxed in the lounge on their arrival. The dishwasher and washing machine were both used by me just before their arrival. They were working properly. Perhaps it took her time to work out how to use them. Photos match the kitchen and appliances. Floor has been upgraded to polished floating floors and husband commented on how much he liked them.
Admittedly there was not much time between guests as I only had a few hours
in the changeover. Xmas and New Year are the busiest times of the year. I would have liked to spend more time cleaning but they wanted to enter immediately.
The guest after her did not report any of these issues.
The door in passage need to fix as when the door closed from bedroom passage can’t open, luckily have someone to opened door from kitchen, otherwise we get locked
We forgotten to bring our Chromecast dongle on back of TV, left message to host on Stay to send to our address with our cost but no response

Hi Lucia,
I am sorry I did not see your email to me thru the Homeaway website after you left. At that time you gave a very good 4 star review, which you now removed and replaced with one star. Guests need to contact me directly if there is any issue. I did not know you left an item behind the TV. A dongle. I only saw your Homeaway email to me much later after you had left a month ago. I then straight away found the item you left behind the TV. Thank goodness it was still there. I will return your item to you ofcourse, but I need to speak to you directly not thru this website. I have phoned you personally numerous times, texted you and emailed. You did not respond. Please can you phone me dirtectly as I need to give out my bank details and I can't do that through a public website. The dishwasher is not broken btw and I washed your dirty dishes at that time with it. Also the door handle was bent during your stay but it works now. No worries. There is no charge. I look forward to your phone call so we can sort out this matter. Please do not email through this website.

Nice little place in a nice location
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 :)
