About this property

Magnolia Cottage - large home suitable for families or yoga retreats, pool & spa

** Due to the strict Shire regulations, we don't accept any bookings for parties, functions, weddings or events, bucks/hens bookings or schoolies groups. We only rent to families i.e. adults and children or smaller mature groups ** We do not permit pets.

Magnolia Cottage is a unique property which caters for the extended family or 2-3 families. It has also been used very successfully for health and yoga retreats. The property has recently had a brand new solar heated 10m x 4m swimming pool with spa added, so this makes it even more appealing.

The home is well designed with the open planned kitchen (coffee machine and dishwasher), living (with cosy coonara wood heater) and dining areas (table for 12 people) being the central hub, but then the more formal lounge offering a quiet place for the adults to escape for some peaceful time. There are 2 bedrooms in this downstairs area with an ensuite bathroom and a 2nd toilet and the laundry.

Upstairs is the home to a further 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and has a children's retreat to watch TV with XBox 360, away from the adults.

There is an air conditioning unit both upstairs and downstairs, and ducted heating throughout. The property offers Netflix for your viewing pleasure and free WiFi.

To recap: there are 8 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, plus a separate toilet, 3 living rooms, plus an acre to explore and a solar heated swimming pool and a spa to relax in and a trampoline to play on.

Magnolia Cottage is nestled in a quiet pocket of Rye, but is easily accessible to:

Beach : Rye Foreshore (2km), Rye Back Beach (10 min drive)

To relax... Peninsula Hot Springs, Golf Courses at The Dunes, Moonah Links, St Andrews Beach. Close to Wineries

Return visit

This was our second stay at Magnolia in Rye. As a group of seniors, (some couples, some singles), the 8 bedrooms work so well. The house is very comfortable with multiple living spaces and a fabulous kitchen. The pool and spa are a great inclusion.

Coastrek fundraising walk weekend

This is our 5th year of doing Coastrek in Sorrento and this is the perfect place for our group to relax afterwards - especially the hot spa has been great for our tired legs! The house was very clean and the kitchen had all utensils and amenities available for our stay.

Nice house and pool but…

We had a nice stay but there was a lot of noise at night including what sounded like fights out on the street. We had 165 deducted with no communication after the stay and are unable to communicate with owners. Would not stay again.

Great Weekend at Magnolia Cottage

Magnolia cottage is an exceptional place for women's weekends and groups in general, as well as families. Only 2 of our group of 9 had to share a room and this is a rare find. The house is spacious, and lovely with two large living areas and an attractive long Deck, but what our group loved was the spa and pool. Fabulous. The house was really well equipped with everything you could need and in a great location. Couldn't really ask for more. We will be back.

Wonderful house for a big group

We were a group of 8 women walking 45km for the Coastrek challenge to raise money for Beyond Blue. This house was perfect - lots of bedrooms, spacious living areas, well appointed kitchen and a hot tub for the after walk relaxation. It was warm and cozy on arrival and very clean. We are hoping to return for next years event!

Big and homey

Overall great place to stay, highly recommend. However was told we couldn't do early check-in due to high demand due to post Covid19 easing of restrictions. Upon arrival deck chairs and tables had cob webs. I believe we were the first people to stay in the house so not sure why we couldn't do early check-in. Also very dusty behind the windows and a number of people of our group become very sensitive to the carpet downstairs. Would suggest a deep clean. but overall its got everything you need. Well equiped.

We loved this property. It was perfect for our family getaway with a few families with kids. Large living areas, beautiful, large pool and small, trampoline, and plenty of toys for the kids. Everything was very clean as well. We would happily stay again. The property managers were also very responsive with any questions or requests.
