Roaring Beach Retreat - pet friendly, beachfront

Looking for the perfect getaway relaxing by the beach? Roaring Beach Retreat has stunning views overlooking the white sandy beach, as well as the natural country charm of green rolling hills to the back. Wake up to these magnificent views and fall asleep to the sound of the waves rolling in. Roaring Beach Retreat is situated a short 10 minute drive from the town of Dover where all supplies can be found as well as restaurants. Or you may prefer to cook for yourself in the well equipped modern kitchen. Relax by the log fire or enjoy a DVD from the home collection. You can watch your favourite platforms by casting from your phone Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom as well as spacious surroundings.
Revive by taking a walk along the beach or through the surrounding farmland. Take the short ride to Hastings Cave and pool, or enjoy a day trip to Cockle Creek.
We are a dog friendly house. The yard is fully fenced so your dog will be safe and have room to run about. We are happy for dogs to be inside the house and there is a dog door available.

Worth planning for...
Roaring Beach Retreat is well named. Its a truly brilliant home beautifully appointed and comfortable in every way. The beach is stunning and if youre looking to getnaway from it all this is the place. I recommend doing a good food and wine shop and coming prepared ...Dover is only 10 minutes away and the IGA there is OK. The RSL also provides pub food but theres little else. Better to self cater kick back and enjoy the great vibe of Surveyors Bay. We spent 6 beautiful nights here and would absolutely recommend.

Beachside Beauty
Perfectly located across the quiet road from a fantastic white sand beach. It was a beautiful comfortable home with beachy decor. Very secure yard for our friends dog, who loved watching for rabbits. It was very well stocked and had everything we needed except a BBQ, but the kitchen works very well.Loved listening to the sound of the waves.Bug spray was essential in summer.

Exactly what we needed
We wanted a relaxing weekend with the family and our dog and that's exactly what we got! Arriving to an established wood fire going on a winters day was just perfect. Everything was provided, we really couldn't ask for anything more. Great selection of games for the family to enjoy. The house felt comfortable and cosy and ve left feeling rejuvenated! :)

Great place to stay.
Dog friendly, and great location. However you may need to be aware that the access to main living space is up 14 wooden stairs. We had to teach our to go up and down, slowly. I would imagine some older people having difficulty with this too.

Property even better than Location
Big Roaring Beach is a great location so the property has a head-start. That the accommodation is pretty much faultless really helps it stand out. Great design, comfortable furniture and bedding, and all the extras one could want to enjoy the stay. The wood-burner is particularly impressive.
