We had a great time
We enjoyed our stay. The property is centrally located and close to the beach. It has everything you need except I couldn't find the iron, only the ironing board. The blankets that are left the cabinet were a little on the musty side too and they need a freshen up, otherwise it was a great stay.

Great location, nice living/kitchen and large outdoor area
Clean on arrival and very easy to check-in. We were a group of 5 adults with a baby and dogs. Living/kitchen/dining is large and well equipped, with plenty of room for our group. There was also a large undercover area outside as well as a very big backyard - great for our dogs, and I could imagine also perfect for kids to play. Bedrooms were fine for a holiday, and bathroom/laundry also adequate. 10 minute walk to the Rosebud foreshore as well as the Rosebud shopping centre - very convenient! Enjoyed our stay and would come again.

Beautiful retreat
We had such a lovely stay, with every detail seen to. The backyard was so relaxing and it was a treat to have our dog along for the trip as well. The only negative feedback I would give would be the iron...it was very old and it spat out dirty water and stained my boyfriends white shirt that he was wearing to the wedding. Like some of the reviews before, can agree the beds are so so comfortable. Overall we Really enjoyed our stay, we’ll be back!!
