A funky retro beach house with views to die for! Beautiful gardens. The Host left us some home grown lemons, kale and lettuce which we enjoyed with some freshly caught fish.A lovely note from Maxine was a special touch.Thanks so much for letting us stay at your perfect retro beach cottage.

Stay was excellent. Great property, everything you needed there, fantastic view for whale watching. Only let down was the lack of comfort in main bed and inside lounge and chairs.

Thank you for your feedback Matthew, it's always helpful to hear the pro's and con's from guests. I have now replaced the couch with a brand new one. Re the bed, it is a fairly new mattress but perhaps some people prefer a softer rather than firm mattress, so I have now added a mattress topper.

Family beach holiday

Lovely retro beach house as advertised. Fabulous view of the ocean from the deck and dining table - lots of sightings of whales which was an unexpected bonus! Lots of kangaroos around in the morning and evenings, and beautiful beach and river within 5 minutes walking distance. Comfortable beds and good WiFi were much appreciated.

An unforgettable experience!

We hired this super cool beach house for 5 nights & it was great! Absolutely spotless for a retro pad. The location was perfect, a short walk from one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever been to. This is one holiday accommodation we’ll never forget!

Quirky fun holiday house in great location . (Top Tip: if you are coming from overseas like us you won't want to carry your linen with you. We bought some at the Merimbula supermarket and opshop. )

Comfortable, bright and relaxing

Love sitting on the balcony in the mornings watching the sun rise over Haycock Point. The changing colours of the cliffs, the sparkling water, and wave sounds are very calming. Easy walk to Lions beach and the river mouth. The house is relaxed and very welcoming which is why we keep going back.

Beach house in a beautiful garden setting

We had a great stay in the gorgeous retro beach house. It is so conveniently located to the small beach at Pambula & there is a great deck overlooking the water to enjoy a morning coffee. We would highly recommend.

Peaceful getaway

Had a very relaxing break in our favourite retro house. Great to be able to get away in these uncertain times. Daily walks to the beach and river mouth, watching the wildlife, surfing, fishing and reading books.

Perfect Location

We loved our stay at Rutherglen. The moment we walked in the door we felt at home. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, cooking utensils and things you might need. The Sun shone on the veranda every morning and the view of the sea from the picture window was relaxing. The retro furniture and fixtures brought back many memories. The bed was comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful stay

The house was fabulous and a lot larger than I expected. Location to river was great (lovely for water for swimming with preschooler). House very well equipped and beautifully decorated. All communications with property manager were prompt and seamless. Will be back

A great representation of the 50's and 60's, so many things around the house reminded me of my youth.

Great family holiday

Loved the house and the view and the seal on the beach and the kangaroos in the front yard and the exceptional landscape and the friendly people. Pambula Beach and surrounds are the bomb.

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.

Perfect guests who left the house in a very clean condition. Easy and pleasant to communicate with, I would not hesitate to recommend them to future renters.

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.

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.

The property was very clean and had all facilities/accessories required for a very pleasant stay. The view each morning over the ocean was a delight to wake up to each morning. Being a keen golfer the proximity of the nearest golf course was most welcome.The weather was cool in the evening but the fire place facilities more than compensated for the cool weather.

We have just returned from a fabulous trip to Pambula Beach, made even more special by staying at Rutherglen. We walked in and immediately felt relaxed and at home. The views were fantastic, the open fire so cosy. Our daughter barely touched the normal IPads, DVD's and was happier outside in the garden watching for kangaroos or exploring. Great retro fitout but with all of the comforts too.

We recently spent the most superb week at 'Rutherglen' in Pambula. What a find! Fantastic location, friendly visits from the local kangaroos, peaceful surrounds - perfect.We loved the retro style of the property which is a part of what attracted us in the first place. 'Quirky' retro decor was great and brought back so many great memories from my childhood.My partner and I don't do 'schmick', pristine, expensive decor and Rutherglen was perfect. Loved it, loved it, loved it!!!
