Great outdoor space, north facing, with comfy chairs etc. Beds and inside the house was all as advertised and better. Large yard. I would love to be able to bring my dog in future if that ever becomes an option. Overall, we had a great time and will hopefully be repeated renters.
A very cosy, warm place, with a nice holiday beach vibe. The bottle of local wine was a lovely addition indeed! Close to the beach, and shops; very convenient location.
This property has considered every fine detail. From amneties, to living, to rooms, you will not be disappointed. Close access to beach, shops and plaza. No hesitation, I will book again!
The check in process was simple, the house was lovely and clean with the added bonus of the use of personal amenities and consumables in the kitchen, this was a great touch. A great place to stay and will definitely visit again.

About the host
Hosted by Olivia Bird
Having been in the hotel industry for the past 27 years, Olivia wanted to create her own home away from home experience for her guests to enjoy. Passionate about the Mornington Peninsula and all it has to offer, this is why this location was selected. Feedback from Olivia's guests has always been about the added extra touches, cleanliness of the house and how much they have enjoyed the experience and the recommendations she provides.
Why they chose this property
The Rosebud Beach Retreat was selected due to the love of the Mornington Peninsula and all it has to offer. It is a destination that Olivia and her husband have always traveled to and loved their time there, that they wanted to create that boutique stay for others in the place they call their second home.
What makes this property unique
The Rosebud Beach Retreat was specifically purchased due to its quiet location yet close to so many attractions on the Mornington Peninsula and within walking distance to the white sandy beaches with pristine blue waters of Port Phillip Bay. The house has a very relaxed feel. It is light bright and airy with lots of windows looking out at the landscaped gardens. The front yard has a stunning huge elm tree that canopies the front of the house and the generous north facing backyard has glimpses of Arthurs Seat.
