Smell the serenity!

Handy to town but with a peaceful bush outlook. The property backs directly onto to the Cowes Foreshore Reserve, with an 8 minute walk via bush tracks leading you to the beautiful calm waters of Red Rocks Beach. You will see lots of wallabies and maybe even an echidna.

Suits young families or a multi generation holiday.

Dog and kid friendly - the back garden is securely fenced

Note: not a big party house - due to close proximity of neighbours. More a 'relax on the deck and gather round the firepit' vibe.

We have three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Sleeps up to 8, with 5 seperate beds

Sleeping accommodation consists of:
Bedroom 1- queen size bed
Bedroom 2 - queen size bed.
Bedroom 3 - double bed and 2 single beds. This room has a TV with DVD player.


The kitchen and both bathrooms have been fully renovated. The kitchen has a ceramic cooktop, oven, dishwasher, microwave, airfryer and large fridge freezer. The island bench is a popular place to gather.

The living area has ample comfy seating, a large flat screen TV, gas heating and a split system for heating/cooling.
Free WIFI with access to Netflix, Prime and Stan.

The dining table seats 6-8, with extra seating at the Island bench .
Plenty of cutlery, dishes and glasses for everyone.

There is also a travel cot, high chair and baby bath available.
All the bedrooms have ceiling fans.


NOTE: No Schoolies or Uni groups

The house is dog friendly. Sorry no cats due to family allergies.
The backyard has strong fences and gates but please note that the driveway gates are just under 1m high. So depending on how big or determined your dog is to escape, this may not be the house for you.

The covered deck is ideal for dog napping. If inside, please keep dogs off furniture and beds. A dog bed and dog bowls can be provided.

Red Rocks Beach, our closest beach, allows dogs on lead from 7am to 10am and 5pm to 8pm from 1st December to 30th April. Off lead beaches are in Ventnor and from the Anderson boat ramp to the Cowes yacht club. A leaflet in the house has full details.

Please keep your dog on lead when walking through the bush - safer for the wildlife and for them - they may get lost if they chase off after a wallaby.

    Great communication from host. House is as described. A short walk to the beach through bush and about 7 minutes drive into town. Plenty of tech if the weather not so great and you need to stay in. We had great weather so didn't really use it.

    We had a lovely holiday. It was a very relaxing time for all at the house with a great yard for our dogs. The owner responded quickly to any questions and would gladly go again

    We had a great time at the sheebeen (group of 10). House was fantastic with a great outdoor entertaining area and backyard. Backs directly onto a nature reserve and beach. Urban enough to be easily accessible but remote enough to make you feel you're in nature.

    We had a great time here with the extended family. I loved that the track to the beach was filled with butterflies and that there were no roads that we needed to cross. Beach is kid friendly. Town centre was close enough to ride to but a little far to walk. The house is set up nicely and we had a great time spending the nights playing cards on the back deck.

    We had a lovely couple of days. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed. Rosie was very generous with check in/check out times so we were all able to relax. Will definitely book again. Thank you Rosie

    A most enjoyable family getaway was had at the Shebeen. We were greeted with a bottle of bubbly in the fridge which went down very well on Christmas morning! It was lovely sitting out on the deck on Christmas Day, having a bbq lunch. Other days were spent out there and also lazing about in the hammock and having margaritas on the picnic table under the shade of the umbrella. The deck and backyard really were the highlight of the property, as was the Phillip Island Coastal Reserve backing right onto the property. We frequently spotted the gorgeous local wallabies and some really interesting bird life. Red Rocks beach was great to go exploring and have a splash around in. Thanks Rosie!

    Spent a weekend here with some friends had an absolute blast! Property was large with ample room and great extras like the fire pit and dart board! We were never bored and loved how the property backed onto a nature reserve! Will be staying here again
