Rosebud Beach House w Private Bungalow Beach Walks

DanteRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Kylie was always super quick to respond to messages and queries, often within an hour or so. She was very friendly over message, and was quite welcoming - making us feel confident this was a trustworthy and great place to spend the weekend. The house is in a FANTASTIC location, and was only a five minute walk from the local shopping centre and beach front. The house itself was well-cleaned and very spacious. The large backyard was a great addition, especially with the summer weather. Amenities all worked well and were in great condition. Can definitely see myself visiting again.

DianeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our family (2 adults and 2 kids) and mother in law had a wonderful stay at this dog-friendly Airbnb! The property was clean, cozy, and made it easy to relax. The location was perfect—just a short drive to both the Adventure Park and beautiful beaches, offering the best of outdoor fun and relaxation. The hosts were welcoming and provided great local tips. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches, like cleaning products and kitchen extras like bags, containers, and spices. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking to explore the area with their dog. We’d definitely stay here again!

Cosy Beach House - Near Hot Springs.

JamesRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had an amazing 2 night stay at Suzi’s place. The whole house was spotless, with beautiful and beachy decor and lots of lovely little touches to make it feel like home. The outdoor area was a particular highlight with great views, a log fire and electric blinds so you can be comfortable out there in all conditions. The house is situated in a quiet and peaceful road and is only a short drive to the Main Street and beach in Rye. I would recommend this place to anyone.
