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.

Peace and quiet

This place provides everything you need for a relaxing break. It is very close to the beach and has an expansive deck where you can sit and enjoy the sound of the waves. In winter it is very quiet and that’s exactly what I needed. Get the radiators going though or it’s a bit cold!

Rosedale Hideaway

Nice little cottage with comfy lounge and big TV. Located next to a creek that backs the bush, if you are quiet and patient wildlife visits. My highlight was the Bower bird family, mum dad and their almost adult youngster. Garden was also nicely fenced for small dog.

Lovely place for a hideaway holiday!

Rosedale Hideaway ticked all the boxes for us - quiet, bush-surrounded cottage close to the beach, very clean and comfortable with all amenities and many little extras. It was very important to us to find a dog-friendly spot, and this was perfect - secure, dog-friendly cottage, minutes from a beach which was off-leash for dogs at key times. The property manager communicated clearly, replied promptly to any enquiries, and was friendly and flexible. Great place :-)

Simply Beautiful

Rosedale hideaway aptly named petite home surrounded by wild bush, tall gums leading to a creek from the backyard. Living space and well equipped small kitchen with views into the trees, ideal for me. Two bedrooms - comfortable double bed and two singles. The deck is beautiful and large with table, chairs and lounge chairs to take in the bush atmosphere. Very comfortable for two adults with Labrador, we all enjoyed the deck, yard and especially the beach, which is off leash at this time of year. The yard is fully fenced, with well kept lawn and garden. Loved the short completely flat stroll to the amazing Rosedale beach, under 5 mins. Could stay forever.

Cottage Hideaway

The area was great and the cottage was comfortable and very well equipped. We did find that the cottage had a very strong odour of mould and mustiness which despite opening doors and windows lingered during our stay. I would probably hesitate to book again unless assured that the cottage had been well aired before staying.
