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.

Located in Rosedale Parade the Cottage is quiet and only a short walk from the beach.
The Cottage 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 and 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.

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. Kitchen is fully equipped, and the house includes a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer.

Modest cottage with nice decks
While we enjoyed our time at this modest cottage with its nice decks front and back, the property wasn't as clean as it should have been (sandy floor, decks covered with leaves). Needs some maintenance too; eg towel rail not screwed in properly, and the key to the front door was bent 15 degrees.

Could be nice if looked after, shame about the mould.
The place was pretty filthy, doesn't get cleaned thoroughly after each guest. The property has a serious black mould problem. Garden is a mess and overgrown. Location is good only meters from the beach.

Charming rustic cottage only moments from a beautiful beach. Comfy beds & good heating. Unfortunately, the floors inside were very dirty & the oven needs a clean. The major disappointment is the absence of the bath AS ADVERTISED.

What is advertised is not what's delivered.
Great location & outside deck and the owner was easily contactable. These are the only positives I can state.Advised two weeks prior to check in that we need to take our own linen or use what is there, however wash & dry it prior to check out, this is not shown in advertisement.Also advised that TV does not work due to location. Suggested that we bring a laptop or something to hook up and stream our TV shows via that onto the TV. Again, not advertised in the Stayz Ad. Had these been so I would not have booked. Further to this I contacted owner at two weeks prior to ask about a refund, was advised that cancellation needs to be two months prior. What a joke that is.Upon arrival the place was clean and looked nice inside. However, no storage was available for longer stays as all cupboards were stacked with linen for the place. Also the back yard was so overgrown that it would have been impossible to clean up after our dog had she done any business there, thankfully she didn't. The coffee etc there looked stale and no milk was placed into the fridge for a least a drink upon arrival.I sat on the lounge and chair which were very uncomfortable for any extended period of time.We would not book this place again and I am unlikely to use Stayz again as the advertisement didn't really match the accommodation.

Lovely Cottage in Rosedale
We enjoyed our stay in this peaceful cottage close to the beach. The Cottage is comfortable and well furnished. There is a generous selection of kitchen, bathroom and cleaning products and the kitchen is well equipped with crockery, utensils etc. Looking out over the lagoon is a beautiful way to start the day.

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.
