About this property

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.

Peaceful Escape close to beach
Our family of 4 loved Hamish's hideaway. It was compact and cosy, yet had everything we could possibly need. We had lovely weather, so made the most of the serenity of the rear deck, and the walk-to-the-beach location

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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Hamish Hartley

Host profile image
We fell in love with Rosedale Beach on a trip with our family around 10 years ago and recently we were lucky enough to purchase Rosedale Hideaway. We can't wait to spend more time at the beach but whilst we are not there would love to make the property available to other families to enjoy.
