Cute beach stay

The place was tidy and comfortable, conveniently located near amenities and within walking distance to the beach. The Christmas decor was very cute and the little things you would need in a beach stay like sun screen, tea selection was well thought out.The only downside was the absence of floor mats, which we couldn't find during our stay.

We stayed at the beach shack over New Years and had a fantastic stay! The house was just so comfortable and cute, with all the amenities you need including a washer and dryer in the laundry, and double shower and full size bath in the massive main bathroom. I was so pleasantly surprised when we arrived because there wasn’t a photo of the front of the house on the listing but it was so lovely, almost cottage style, but with a modern renovation and facilities. Honestly, the photos, whilst pretty, don’t do the place justice. Britt was super easy to communicate with and the shack was great value for money, especially over the peak the New Year period. We would go back in a heartbeat!!

Suited to family with small kids

Overall the hosts were great to deal with, fast communication and provided great recommendations for us during our stay. The house is very neat and welcoming. Only downfall is we traveled with little kids, so no matter how much you pack, for a weeks stay you need to do laundry. The washing machine was dirty, despite my attempt to clean the drum, the seal was full of dirt. Other than that a comfortable stay. Close to beach.

Awesome house

The house was very clean, everything was well though out, with entertainment options for the kids and a very homie feeling. Everything and anything we could need was there. Also, excellent location, minutes away form everywhere. The hosts were lovely and very responsive to any question. Thank you so much, we had a great time, will definitely recommend to friends, and will come again (as soon as possible). Lilah

Top Notch Rosebud Area Accommodation

The property owners Greg & Britt need to be complimented on the excellent way they prepare the property for visitors. They have thought of every little details to make our stay with our pet memorable. Excellent accommodation for families with kids & pets - as property is fully fenced. Tidy & Covid safe with hand sanitiser available throughout the property. Would highly recommend to family and friends.

Perfect family escape

Nicely renovated House, with a perfect kids area for them to play in while we relaxed in front of the fire. We were there in winter and it was perfect! Can’t wait to go again in summer and use the outdoor area as well!
