About this property

South Rosedale Cottage and Retreat

From the generous deck of this 3 bedroom cottage you can gaze out onto the lagoon at the bottom of the garden, listen to the waves breaking on the nearby beach, or step down to the water-side deck. You can read, watch the native ducks swim past, ponder meandering fish, or just drift off.

The Cottage is a renovated traditional Australian beach retreat with all new appliances, a bushland setting and close to the beautiful Rosedale sands.

Note however that the lagoon is not fenced from the backyard and small children need to be supervised at all times.

Located in Rosedale Parade the Cottage is quiet and sleeps 6 adults and additional children (up to 2) may sleep on the sofa bed in the lounge room.

We are pet friendly with a dog house supplied. We reiterate that the back garden is fenced from the street but not from the lagoon.

It's just a 2-minute level stroll to stunning South Rosedale beach. Great for a swim, a lazy read on the beach, or a bit of beach or rock fishing. Kayaking is possible on the Tomaga River at Mossy Point a few kilometres south.

The main bedroom has a queen bed, the front bedroom has a double, and the middle bedroom has two single beds. There is a sofa in the lounge suitable for a child or two younger children. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the house includes a dishwasher, Miele washer/dryer, NBN fibre to the house and a new TV.

Close to beach

Short walk to beach (pet friendly depending on time of year and hours) . Well stocked kitchen, bed comfy. Cleanliness of kitchen, bathroom and bed good however needs a thorough clean, cobwebs, mould on ceiling in loungeroom , messy out on deck. Biggest downfall for me was no free tv. You need to stream through a device and wifi often cut out. Overall a nice place to stay.

Why they chose this property

It's a small hamlet, very quiet with a great beach. The Cottage has a great atmosphere and is a perfect treat. Snorkelling is next door at Guerrilla Bay and kayaking is down at Mossy Beach. The kids love Mogo zoo.
