About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A home away from home amongst the birds and the trees

Rosedale Hideaway is a secluded well maintained holiday cottage. Leave home and work behind as we have provided everything you need to relax and enjoy the simplicity and peace of a little cottage surrounded by nature.

Looking from the deck a profusion of tall eucalypts and casuarinas provide a backdrop to a garden which is home to many birds whom love to make your acquaintance. At the back of the property through the little gate at the side of the fenced garden you can access the saltwater creek that flows down to the beach, an alternative route to the short stroll down the road. The sound of the nearby surf will lull you to sleep at the end of the day.

Perfect for a romantic holiday for a couple or for a family of 2 adults and up to 2 children.

Please note that the property includes steps down onto the deck and also down onto the grass from the verandah that may cause issues for less mobile guests. There are handrails onto the grass to assist but there are none onto the deck. These however are very shallow.

We had a lovely weekend away at Rosedale. While the house is not huge, it was fine for the two of us and had everything we needed. It was clean and well presented. Check in and out was very easy. It was also a very short walk to a nice beach and close to Batemans Bay and Mogo.
