October 11, 2025 at 1:03 pmOur stay at 55 was everything we imagined! Thank you Rosie, it was magical, from the sunrises and sunsets to the kayaks on the water and full moon swims. We even caught a glimpse of dolphins as we were packing up the leave – a lovely send off when it was hard to say goodbye. Rosie has thought of everything and I mean absolutely everything! All the recommendations for local food and drink were spot on. We loved our holiday ❤️

October 11, 2025 at 1:04 pmThe house is such a dream – enjoy walking around with a cup of tea admiring Rosie’s trinkets and vignettes, an afternoon G&T looking out at the glorious bay and just you wait for the beds…. The linen and soft mattress makes it hard to get up in the mornings.
Rosie was a fantastic communicator, very proactive with check in and out prompts and responsive. It was also nice to be greeted by Andrea at the property and shown around.
We will be back! X

October 11, 2025 at 1:05 pmWe had the most incredible stay here. The property was absolutely beautiful, with the best views we’ve ever seen. It was the perfect setting for our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a more special place to celebrate. Everything was spotless, comfortable, and even better than we imagined. Truly unforgettable thank you for sharing this amazing home with us

October 11, 2025 at 1:06 pmHad an absolutely wonderful stay at Rosie and Andrea’s beautiful house in Soldier’s Point!
Incredible location, right on the beach, dolphins seen out the window, amazing deck for lounging in the sun. Very comfortable, clean, and beautifully decorated. The little extras like being offered bread, food orders etc really made it something special. We will absolutely be back.. in summer time next time so we can swim in the ocean! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely house with us
David and Kate
October 11, 2025 at 1:07 pmIncredible property with everything we could need. Amazing attention to detail.
Communication was absolutely excellent, and the house was comfortable from the moment we arrived.
We were greeted by Andrea from the Bay Butler who had organised a delicious seafood platter for our arrival (this was so yummy) and also some other food for our stay.
It was great to have a comfortable house seeing as a huge storm was present for our stay, but nonetheless we had a fantastic time and look forward to coming back to “55” and enjoying some of the outdoor activities in sunnier weather.
Thank you Rosie and Andrea for a wonderful stay, we really enjoyed it.

October 11, 2025 at 1:07 pmWe had such an amazing time at this beautiful home. From the moment we booked, communication with the host was excellent—clear, timely, and helpful throughout our entire stay. The house itself was stunning: clean, beautifully decorated, and incredibly relaxing with breathtaking views. The amenities were top-notch and made everything feel so easy and comfortable.
Our whole family—including the dogs—had the best time. It truly felt like a getaway where everyone could unwind and enjoy. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are already planning our next visit. Could not recommend this place enough!

October 11, 2025 at 1:08 pmOne of the most beautiful place we’ve ever been to. Facing absolute nature, front beach house, it’s genuinely breathtaking. One of my favourite moments was going on a walk around the property in the morning with Sunrise and Sunset. The service was impeccable—truly, I’ve never felt so pampered. This place provides the perfect blend of luxury, nature, privacy and just the right amount of gorgeous natural light and nice cleaning areas . Love your kitchen and my niece loved your bathtub. Just need to bring foaming bath with you. Pretty little gardens. Recommended this place hopefully we will go back next time.
