About this property

Reads at Rosedale beach house

Designed by renowned modernist architect Bert Read, this elegant cedar home is nestled in bushland and a 200 metre flat walk to the beach. The house has an abundance of natural light with walls of glass, timber interior with vaulted ceilings and wrap-around ironbark deck made to soak up the sunshine while looking out over Saltwater Creek right at your back door.

The home features two large bedrooms both with ensuites, plus two more single beds on a mezzanine and access to another separate bathroom, accommodating up to six to sleep comfortably. It has underfloor heating/cooling, ceiling fans and a central brick fireplace. There is a modern, fully equipped kitchen and weber BBQ for entertaining. Full linen service is also provided for your convenience.

Plenty of places to relax - laze in the hammocks on the back deck or in the giant beanbag watching native birdlife, spend time unwinding in the main loungeroom or head up the beautiful timber spiral staircase to chill out on the mezzanine living area.

Rosedale beach is secluded and dog friendly. There are wonderful coastal and bush walks in the area and when you get back from the beach, the house has two hot/cold outdoor showers to wash away sand and saltwater. The NSW South Coast has stunning beaches, delicious fresh seafood, laid-back coastal vibes and world-famous surf breaks - the perfect place to unplug from busy lives and reconnect with nature.

Quiet weekend with friends
Stunning house a stones throw from the beach. Great facilities - particularly appreciated the AC and the easy to use coffee machine on a hot weekend which was perfect for hanging out inside.

Yearly South Coast trip to decompress
Backing onto the river, and a short walk to the Beach down the road, Reads is situated perfectly for a relaxing summer break. The house is well equipped and comfortable. My doggo loved exploring the wild yard and near by beaches. Also, a short drive to other south coast beaches and towns to visit. Love it. Would stay again.

Absolutely lovely
The house is very well appointed with good quality linens etc. Very clean!! If staying with a dog, be aware that there is a resident posssum who is very tame and can be quite insistent on attention if you're outside.

The house, facilities, location and tranquility were perfect. Great set up for family (including fur babies) to be together, but also spaces for us to be able to do our own thing as well. Would highly recommend to others.

A stylish and comfortable house in a perfect location. So peaceful to relax on the deck with a morning coffee overlooking the lagoon, and just a minutes walk onto the beach. Great videos and games. Suited teens and dog perfectly!

House & location, truly unique & delightful
We enjoyed breakfast on the deck, visited by the wildlife including a beautiful King Parrot & a very busy echidna. Loved the gentle smell of cedar. Beaches are very close by and we enjoyed exploring the coast. The house had everything we needed & we will definitely try to book again. Thank you Claire & Gary.

Rosedale Retreat
This is a well presented timber lined home nestled among the trees. The two bedrooms on the ground floor each have their own bathroom with a third bathroom, also on the ground floor, for those sleeping on the mezzanine level or for guests. We enjoyed the beach at Rosedale which was quiet and we were able to run our dog on the beach before 9am and after 5pm. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Just what we needed
My partner and I found the perfect place to have a break away with my mum. Dad passed away a couple of years ago and we were wanting to take mum away somewhere quiet, safe and restful as it was her first time packing for one since the pandemic. It was just what we all needed and being able to bring our whippet along for the stay made us all enjoy it even more. The start of new memories…

Stunning
Beautiful property in a great location. Very comfortable and the fire was wonderful. Had a problem with the power on day one but Claire sorted this with no fuss. We were expecting internet but there wasn’t any but the trip proved a good break from screen time. Our three dogs had lots of fun on the dog friendly beach which is just two minutes away. Looking forward to our next visit!
