About this property

Character cottage in private garden setting


Roses on West cottage was built in 2007 replicating the old colonial style of the mid 1800's but because it is a recent build it affords all that is good about todays construction but has the ambience of a past era i.e high ceilings, sash windows etc.

The cottage has established gardens such as box hedging and roses, several camilla's and other flowering shrubs also high hedging offers you a private setting for outdoor activities.

The early morning sun streams into the fully equipped spacious kitchen as it finds it's way to the front of the house by the afternoon where you may wish to relax and read a book or perhaps enjoy a glass of wine on the veranda.

There is a spa bath as well as a shower in the tiled bathroom for you to relax in before or after your days activities if you wish to do so.

If it is privacy, ambience, comfort and close proximity to all Greytowns attractions we think Roses on West ticks all those boxes.
Special conditions:
Departure needs to be no later than 10.30am as the cottage is serviced at that time.

Not suitable for young children.

Servicing Charges
The base rate for the cottage is for one room only. If you are a couple the rate per night is for one room but if you need to use the 2nd bedroom there is a one off charge of $50. The same also applies to 2 single guests using both rooms there will be a one off charge of $50.

A beautiful cottage close to everything in Greytown.
The cottage is so appealing from the outside with well tendered gardens. Inside it doesn't disappoint with lovely furnishings and everything you could possibly need for your stay. The bath and bath foam was a real treat and bed super comfortable. Excellent.

Roses on West
Roses on West is exactly as stated "on the label" - it is very clean, comfortable and well-appointed, and it is very handy to the shopping area. Communication with the owners was easy and timely. We would definitely recommend it without hesitation, and would happily stay again in the future.

Great stay in a fabulous cottage
Rose Cottage was a beautiful 2 night stay for us. We greatly enjoyed the location (quiet) and proximity to the main street shops, restaurants. Everything was spotless and loved the fire - it truly heated up the cottage quickly and nice to reside beside it with a local wine.

Homely and cosy cottage close to retail and hospo
We felt at home straight away arriving here. The house is cosy, comfortable and very well equipped. The outdoor areas are attractive, private and sheltered. The owners were responsive to queries and resolving pickup of an item we left behind. Very happy to recommend :-)

Home away from home
Better that I expected. Quiet street but close to shops, cafes and supermarket. We came and went by bus and it was easy with a suitcase. Morning brekkie in the sunshine at the back with the box hedge garden, and evenings on the front porch with the roses. Hard to believe that it's a new build, it so genuine. We'll come again if it's available.

Wonderful West St
Thank you for a wonderful stay. Everything was perfect for our 2 nights in Greytown. The property is located close to the main shops so we were able to wander down for a bite to eat before coming back to perch up with our books. The gardens are stunning and the entire property has everything we could have needed.
