About this property

Roskell Retreat - Pet Friendly - 5 Mins Walk to Beach

From sunrise to sunset, Roskell Retreat will provide you with everything you need to enjoy your stay in the beautiful coastal town of Callala Beach. Wake up to the sound of waves crashing on the beach a few streets away and make yourself a Nespresso to enjoy on the backyard table under the trees and morning birds. When the urge strikes to have your first swim of the day, you can grab a towel and be on the beach in five minutes to sink your toes into the stunning white sands of Callala Beach.

After swimming in the sparkling waves, rinse off in the outdoor shower and decide how to spend the rest of your day in one of the most beautiful places in the country. Stay inside comfortably in any kind of weather with the air conditioning and relax in front of the TV with Netflix at your fingertips. For a break from technology, grab a board game to battle it out on the dining table, or take a book and relax on the outdoor lounge. When mealtimes come around, cook up a storm on the BBQ to enjoy on the outdoor dining table listening to your favourite tunes from the portable speaker, with your four-legged friend running around the fully fenced Shared yard. If the parents need a break from the kids, take a bottle of bubbly around to the front of the house and sit in the shade in front of the well-maintained colourful garden.

Once you’re fed and rested, it’s time to see the sights; the shining sands and sparkling waves continue for kilometres around Jervis Bay, and the owners recommend a meal at Club Callala just down the road. Watch the stars come out in the evenings on the back porch under the fairy lights, and enjoy a drink with your loved ones under an unmatched view of the milky way. There’s so much to see and do, and however you spend your time in this beautiful vista, Rosell Retreat will ensure all the memories you make are happy ones to last a lifetime.

Roskell retreat
We really enjoyed staying at Roskell. Property had everything we needed. Backyard is perfect for kids and furry friends to run around. Fire pit was a highlight with our kids.It’s a bit of a walk to get to the beach though. Otherwise we had lots of fun!

Wonderful stay
We had a lovely little getaway in the perfect little house. It was clean and exactly as we expected - couldn't fault the house and the air con worked very well. The only thing was that there was only 1 roll of toilet paper which meant we had to quickly buy more for the trip. Overall a really nice stay in a lovely house which has a great location! :)

Everything you need in this lovely rental
My daughter and I and the school assistance dog had a relaxing stay in this pleasant property. It was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the personal touches. It is located near the beach and shops and a short drive to bigger centres. It has a fabulous big back yard and it is in a lovely neighbourhood. It is the perfect place for some time away. I can highly recommend it.

Dog friendly & white Sandy beach
My dog & I loved the house so much we extended our stay by 3 nights. Secure yard with dog door & a verandah for shelter. Clean & comfortable & everything you need. Dog friendly Callala beach is pure white sand with gentle waves & not many people around. I’ll book again & probably stay even longer. Thanks

A weekend escape
Roskell Retreat was perfect. All the requirements you need to relax away. A 5 minute walk to the beach, 2 minutes to the club, and a short car trip to the shops. We enjoyed the bbq, the spa, and the peaceful surrounds, we could hear the waves. Our dog loved the back yard. We would love to go back. Sam

Very attractively presented little cottage, small but very adequate for our needs.Owner has gone to a lot of trouble and expense to ensue a comfortable stay.Huge, secure backyard for our dog. Apart from the constant rain, we had a very pleasant time .Would like to return another time as we would like to explore the area under more favourable weather conditions.

Comfy quality
Our family of five slept comfortably. How two dogs love the big backyard! Note they are small dogs and it is very safe and secure. A short walk to the beach and a couple of eating options. The house was sparkling clean, nicely decorated, in the layout suited our family. Would be very easy to return.

Better than expected.
I had initially decided to choose one of more than several other (privately let) properties based on cost and similar degree of furnishings, location, and other factors, however after processing through the booking I saw the other costs that were to be added on and which made the overall cost more expensive, which brought us back to this property. We were so impressed with the appearance of this property and how it was managed by the property agents, from go to whoa, with everything you could want to know about the property and the location having been provided. Made our stay hassle and carefree. We are now looking for other properties/locations managed by the same property agents. Very professional outfit managing a very tidy and comfortable property.

Perfect Retreat
The house is pleasantly styled, neat and tidy. The backyard is expansive and properly fenced in. The beach nearby is beautiful and pristine, with dogs allowed off leash at certain times. The Callala Bay shops are close and there is a Club only a minute walk away. Overall a really nice getaway with all the mod cons we could have made use of if our stay was longer.

Good Accommodation, some hidden unexpected costs
The Accommodation itself was quite nice, albeit with some random rubbish laying around. Plus a few items laying near the front door or the side of the house. The lawn also needed mowing. The main drama with the listing is the inconsistencies with their charges, there was no mention of credit card fees anywhere until after we had our payment processed at which point the card was charged extra and the credit card charges appeared on the confirmation of payment. The second issue came when completing online check in, the website used mentions they will hold an auth payment as a bond and that no money will ever leave your account, however once card is provided for this they deduct $500 and hold it over as a bond. If all of this was transparent at the time of booking it would be ok but it leaves a bit of a sour taste when it is hidden.
