About this property

Retro beach house overlooking ocean

This 1960's quintessential Australian beach house will take you back to childhood holidays and simpler times.

One of the original Pambula beach houses it offers prime location on the beach road, just three minutes walk from where the river meets the sea. Lovingly refurbished in mid-century style, the house has ocean views from the balcony and both picture windows (lounge room and sun room) The open fireplace will have you snugged up for lounge room whale watching (July to November), the balcony will have you lazing in the sun, wondering if you should amble to the beach or make a G & T. A great selection of cooking books are provided along with an extensive range of novels for both adults and children.

The house was built by my family when Pambula Beach was a sleepy and secluded haven and it still maintains a quiet and relaxed feel. The native garden and adjacent bush block is rich with bird life and is visited each dusk by grazing kangaroos.

House configuration:
2 bedrooms: 1 queen bed, 1 double bed and 1 single bed in sunroom
2 living areas: open plan kitchen, lounge and dining room. Sun room with special feature wave wall and sandblasted mermaid window
Ocean facing deck
Backyard: BBQ and outdoor dining area

To access secluded Little Beach, stroll across the road and down through the nature reserve. A short walk across the rocks to the north takes you to a patrolled surf beach, and just around the corner to the south is the scenic river, a great spot for kids to swim and adults to fish.

There are abundant activities available here and in surrounding areas:
Beach and river fishing
Well designed walking and bike riding paths between Pambula Beach and Merimbula
Pambula (a 2 minute drive from the house) has a great Bakery, Wholefood Shop and several restaurant options
Pambula-Merimbula Golf Course
Beowa National park: numerous beaches (open surf and river beaches) plus great nature walks through bushland and well informed signage on Indigenous local history (middens)
Dolphin and whale watching cruises (depending on season)
Local Restaurants and Clubs in Merimbula and Eden
Scenic Flights
.. and the list goes on

Please note: Linen not provided, please bring sheets, towels, bath mat and tea towels with you. If guests prefer to have linen supplied a linen service is available at an additional cost, please specify if you would like this service prior to confirming booking.

cosy retro retreat
Loved the attention to detail with the retro decoration and fittings.The open fireplace was cosy as was the house in general and the sound of the waves and views were delightful. Hope to revisit soon and stay longer next time.

Retro relaxation at its best
We had a great time at Rutherglen. It was great to relax in the dining room and watch the seas roll by!! Our Kids enjoyed the exploring that they could do in the garden as well.

Beautiful beach house
We loved our stay in the retro chic of "Rutherglen". The location was perfect, the garden delightful and the house a perfect mix of old and new. Thanks to the owner for a great holiday property.

Very Relaxing and great location
We stayed here with our toddler and had a great time. The house itself is as represented, lots of retro charm and very homely - Just like nana's beach house! Location is great, an easy walk to two seperate beautiful beaches (one equiped with lifeguards). Would reccomended Pambula Beach as a holiday location and Rutherglen as homely retreat for a small family. Thanks!

A lovely livable property with abundant facilities
The property ideally located for beach access, walks and the golf course. The house was well equipped together with a fireplace to provide warmth in the evening. The house has three bedrooms, two living rooms and a lovely verandah overlooking the ocean.
