Bit musty

It was great. Photos were a bit misleading as it looked like it was 3 bedrooms - two of which has 2 x single beds - not the case. Needs airing out - it's pretty musty in there.

A great place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rose cottage is an excellent choice for families wanting to stay near the beach and be close to shops, cafe's, restaurants etc. The property was clean, well maintained, and included all the required amenities as was described on the website. The property management acted professionally by giving us a courtesy call prior to check-in to ensure the process went smoothly. I would have given 5 stars except for the planned 4 hr power outage by essential energy to remedy a power line to the property that we were not informed about. Despite this it was a fantastic stay and would recommend it to any family wanting to stay on the Coffs coast.

Short walk to Sawtell

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property was in a great location, only 200m to Sawtell. Very clean and very tidy. Maintenance is top notch. Things to be aware of: One bedroom definitely a kids room as it is walk through enclosed balcony with glass doors. Only 1 shower, only a bath in the other bathroom. Otherwise perfectly fine.

1970's vibe in great location

Property in good condition, clean and great location just back from main street and beach. Very spacious and well equipped kitchen. Only improvement would be curtains to separate sleepout from main area, as glass doors only divide. More of an issue if staying with friends or older kids.

All good!

Very pleasant home. Clean and well maintained with plenty of room to relax. Easy walk to all the "Sunny Sawtell" attractions (beach, coffee, club and pub)! Would be a 5 star rating.., if dishwasher was installed (owners please take note).
