About this property
Wild Rose Studio, 100M to the water
Summary:
Wild Rose Cottage Studio is the perfect little retreat for couples, solo travellers, or anyone chasing a laid back stay with a touch of homey charm. Welcome to your own little backyard hideaway. This listing is for the private, fully self contained studio tucked away at the rear of the property. The main house sits at the front and the owners may or may not be staying there from time to time, but your studio is separate so you can settle in and enjoy your own space.
Located just 100m approx to the Sailing club at the river and a 10 min walk to the beach.
The Space:
Inside you will find a comfy queen bed, a relaxed living area, a handy kitchenette, a bathroom with a bathtub that is perfect for a soak after a long day, and laundry facilities to make longer stays easy and convenient.
The fully fenced backyard is a lovely place to unwind, with a veggie patch you are welcome to pick from when in season, a fire pit for cosy evenings, and plenty of room to stretch out, fire up the BBQ and enjoy a slow afternoon in the fresh air.
While the front deck is part of the main house and not included for guest use, you are perfectly positioned to enjoy everything the area has to offer. Start your morning with a coffee in the sunshine, then take a leisurely five minute stroll to the wharf for brunch at Hectors or to browse the Sunday morning markets. After a day at the beach, enjoy a glass of wine at Wharf Barrel Shed or the Bribie Island Sailing Club, or head to the local pub for an easy meal out. With so much at your fingertips, there is really no need to move the car from the driveway.

Good for pets though should make it clearer earlier in the process what pets are allowed and also that personal ID will be required, in addition to what Stayz requests.

Great place, great hosts
Wild Rose Cottage is great, we love the extra little touches like veges in the garden, supplies in the pantry. Hosts are very helpful. Proximity to the yacht club is important for us, and pet-friendly.

A fabulous spot in a great location!
The cottage is really lovely. It's cozy and comfortable. The decor suits the space down to a tee and being pet friendly is an extra bonus.
The main street is close and we had a brilliant dinner at Thai Days on our first night and we agreed that it is the best Thai food outside of Thailand! The Goolwa Hotel also has excellent meals and ice cold beer! Goolwa Beach Surf Life Saving Club also has great food and an excellent view!

We will be back !
We booked this as we had a wedding in Goolwa. Then thought why not invite our friends and their dog as well. Host was very accommodating to the booking change. It was a fantastic place to stay, well appointed and thought out. We will definitely be back.
