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.

Open plan lounge/dining/kitchen facilities including microwave, electric stove and fridge.

Gas BBQ on the deck.



Internal bathroom (includes shower) with a second outdoor shower with hot and cold water for after the beach.

Rosedale is a secluded and very quiet location with various walking tracks through natural forests and great seascape views. Rosedale Beach is a beautiful and perfect walking beach and rock fishing, diving, snorkeling and surfing.

Lovely place for a hideaway holiday!
Rosedale Hideaway ticked all the boxes for us - quiet, bush-surrounded cottage close to the beach, very clean and comfortable with all amenities and many little extras. It was very important to us to find a dog-friendly spot, and this was perfect - secure, dog-friendly cottage, minutes from a beach which was off-leash for dogs at key times. The property manager communicated clearly, replied promptly to any enquiries, and was friendly and flexible. Great place :-)

Nice little cottage with comfy lounge and big TV. Located next to a creek that backs the bush, if you are quiet and patient wildlife visits. My highlight was the Bower bird family, mum dad and their almost adult youngster. Garden was also nicely fenced for small dog.

Lovely cottage amongst the trees and a short walk to the beach
Rosedale Hideaway is a lovely cottage, a short walk to the beach that is dog friendly (timeshare in summer). We enjoyed sitting on the large deck that has a wonderful outlook to trees and the creek. Loved waking up to the sound of the birds. Rosedale Hideaway is centrally located and a short drive to Batemans Bay and Mossy Point/Tomakin. Also loved the outdoor shower. Communication with the owner was great and check-in easy.
