How is the property laid out?
The uniquely different spaces are what makes Rocinante special! There are four large bedrooms in the main house and then a much larger separate and very private space with two bedrooms - the Cottage.
Downstairs in the main house - the master bedroom has a king bed, full length windows overlooking the pool and an ensuite. Bedrooms 2 and 3 have queen beds, and are opposite a large shared bathroom with a shower and bath. Adjacent to these are the laundry and the downstairs lounge with a full home cinema, surround sound and black out blinds!
Upstairs in the main house - bedroom 4 has a double and an ensuite with a shower. The kitchen area proves a fabulous place for everyone to congregate whilst cooking up a storm, and flows through to the indoor and outdoor dining and lounging spaces.
The Cottage, separate from the main house, has 2 bedrooms - one with a king bed and one with a queen bed, a library of books, TV and an ensuite bathroom with large stone bath and wet room shower.
Rocinante is able to accommodate a large family, a couple of smaller families or groups of friends. With plenty of indoor/outdoor areas, there is space for everyone to lounge around separately or together.

We had a great time at Araluen House. The place was very relaxing and accommodated our group extremely well. Great location close to beach and the house was well appointed.

Great place to stay. Clean, well appointed, great location and well priced. Only disappointment, the pool was described as heated, but unfortunately wasn’t, which meant minimal use. Otherwise we had a lovely time and the house was otherwise fabulous.
A lovely house filled with glorious art & many beautiful things. The children loved the pool. Everything we needed. If you have a toddler or a crawler you need to be very aware of the beautiful water features.
This is a beautifully laid out house, with amazing finishes, especially some of the artwork and sculptures (there was even a book about Piet Mondrian!). And just a stone's through from the beach.
All told, a great weekend had by all and we'll be back.
Our stay at Araluen House was very enjoyable due to the quality and size of the property.
The pool is huge (and heated) and all mod cons are included. We would happily go again.
Generally, a great property, however, needs maintenance.

Great house for our extended family of 9 adults, Plenty of room for everyone even on a rainy day. Kitchen has more than everything you need, Only down side is that the property is need of general maintenance and more information about how things operate is required. We had trouble with the TV, which turned out to be flat batteries in the remote, also the dishwasher would not complete its cycle. Kitchen sink did not hold water as the plug seals had perished, made washing up difficult especially when the dishwasher wasn't working properly. Plenty of cob webs around, and the dead plants on the back deck Some of these item were mentioned by another guest back in March 2021
Well worth the stay. Beds were really comfy house was well equipped with everything you could possibly think of. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.
Literally 1 min walk to the beach.
The Bungalow was alot bigger then I thought it would be.
Amazing!!!!!
If you're thinking of booking this property just book it. You won't be disappointed!!!
Superb accommodation in a great part of the world!
Excellent lay-out for a family get-a-way.
Well appointed kitchen.
Everyone had a great time; grandkids lived in the pool and we had a chance to get back together after the lock-down.
Nice and handy to the beach.
We enjoyed a fabulous weekend away at Araluan house. Perfect venue for families. The beds and linen were 5 star and must mention the kitchen being well equiped, has matching sets of cutlery, crockery and glassware!
We did have an issue with no running hot water on our first night in the self contained bungalow. Our contact for the property arranged a plumber the same day of notification and problem was quickly rectified.
If have young children you do need to be mindful of the pond in the backyard and upstairs balcony with daybed, as there is no barrier to the first floor roof. Overall the entire family had a wonderful time, short drive from Sydney and would recommend the property.
This property was beautifully designed to make you feel very comfortable and relaxed with their beautiful art and the tranquility of its location. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the essentials. I loved the big dining area so that it fit every person and breakfast lunch and dinner. The pool is well cleaned and so was the entire house. Linen was provided including beach and bath towels which was very nice. The bungalow at the back was amazing and truely felt like I was in Bali and beautiful home away from home experience. Thank you.
The house is located in a great location and only a couple of minutes from the beach. The house is really spacious and bungelow out the back is a great addition. I would definitely recc6this property.
Our family stayed at this property for our weekend get together. It is a large house with living areas on two floors so there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The pool was popular with the children while the outdoor areas were used by the grown ups.
There is lots of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans etc which is fantastic for a large group. Plenty of dishwashing soaps etc and much appreciated baskets of moisturiser, sunscreen, soap etc in the bathrooms.
Beds were very comfy and the bath towels large and thick.
Kitchen has an Nespresso machine, a large juicer, large toaster etc.
The separate Balinese-type room and bathroom was enjoyed by one of our family groups.
Overall our family rated this property 5stars. The TV is the biggest one any of us have ever seen!
This property was perfect for our little getaway from the city for the weekend! The property was amazing in every way and would definitely recommend to big groups looking for a nice place to stay!
