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.

A very welcoming host and a lovely cottage by the river. A short stroll to the beach, followed by a quiet drink on the deck on return, all made for a very relaxing holiday.

Slight hiccup in getting in. My sister and I broke a number of fingernails trying to get the lockbox open. Extra instructions needed.Funky cottage in a nice situation backing on to a creek. 200m to the beach.Musty smell to the premises which returned whenever the place was locked up. Good beds but the seats and some other items werent great. Kitchen well equipped. Cleanliness not good, lots of dust bunnies about, and to touch some things was not pleasant.My sister was unconfortable and critical, I myself would give it a pass (just).

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.
