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.

We had a lovely weekend away at Rosedale. While the house is not huge, it was fine for the two of us and had everything we needed. It was clean and well presented. Check in and out was very easy. It was also a very short walk to a nice beach and close to Batemans Bay and Mogo.
This little property is perfect for a weekend away. Well priced, comfortable, well equipped and in an idyllic location, it provided everything we needed to enjoy our three day stay. Would definitely come back.
My son and I really enjoyed our stay at Rosedale Hidaway. The property is clean and comformtable and only a short walk to the beach. I highly recommend this property and this host!
This was a lovely little house, with all the amenities you need for a self-contained holiday. Perfect location, walking distance to a great dog-friendly beach. The house itself had an excellent outdoor set up with a large deck and nice yard.
This was our second stay at Rosedale Hideaway and we enjoyed this lovely cottage again. We had great weather for this time of the year and enjoyed the beaches and many swims. We love Rosedale and will be back for sure!!
We had another very relaxing , enjoyable week at Rosedale Hideaway .We loved the new deck and the backyard is very dog friendly and beach just a short stroll away . We can highly recommend this cottage as it is very comfortable and a great base to explore the local attractions
We parked the car and didn’t move again - it was that wonderful :)
Walk to the beach is easy and close, the beach is wonderful. The cottage is comfortable and tidy with everything we needed. It was a pleasant find and we’d love to return.
A lovely property with a level short walk to the beach. The house has a small kitchen but it is highly functional and is equiped well. Smart tv and wifi for rainy days and a great outdoor shower and a spacious deck. A great place to enjoy a beautiful part of the world

Peace and quiet
This place provides everything you need for a relaxing break. It is very close to the beach and has an expansive deck where you can sit and enjoy the sound of the waves. In winter it is very quiet and that’s exactly what I needed. Get the radiators going though or it’s a bit cold!
Rosedale Hideway is exactly as advertised.
It has everything that is required for a comfortable stay, plus a good fenced in area for our labradoodle and a short walk to the beautiful beach.
We thoroughly enjoyed our eight day stay.
Thank you Hamish.
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 :-)
The area was great and the cottage was comfortable and very well equipped. We did find that the cottage had a very strong odour of mould and mustiness which despite opening doors and windows lingered during our stay. I would probably hesitate to book again unless assured that the cottage had been well aired before staying.
Great outlook .Well equiped kitchen . Beds comfortable. Blankets/ heaters supplied 👍
Unfortunately house dirty & dusty on arrival Cob webs hanging from ceiling. Light fittings full of insects Toaster full breadcrumbs. Exhaust cover bathroom filthy! Communication with owner proved to be good tho
Rosedale hideaway aptly named petite home surrounded by wild bush, tall gums leading to a creek from the backyard. Living space and well equipped small kitchen with views into the trees, ideal for me. Two bedrooms - comfortable double bed and two singles. The deck is beautiful and large with table, chairs and lounge chairs to take in the bush atmosphere. Very comfortable for two adults with Labrador, we all enjoyed the deck, yard and especially the beach, which is off leash at this time of year. The yard is fully fenced, with well kept lawn and garden. Loved the short completely flat stroll to the amazing Rosedale beach, under 5 mins. Could stay forever.
