Where will I be?

The Hyams Beach Cafe and your pick of three beaches are also within easy walking distance. You are on the prime waterfront strip of Cyrus Street, with no other houses in front. If that wasn't enough, Booderee National Park and the nearby towns of Huskisson and Vincentia are only a short drive away!
Why choose Rowse House?
Built and owned by the same family since 1951, Rowse House has been a labour of love over the years, and retains much of it original, casual and comfortable charm. It is an older style home but a solid 'crowd favourite'. Sit back and enjoy the ocean views from the lovely deck or upstairs balcony, or let the kids run around in the spacious backyard.

Reviews
Great home
Margaret D - 12th June 2024It was like being at home - everything we needed was there. Thank you. In a perfect spot and very quiet. You might consider electric blankets as it was pretty cold! But we had the secret weapon - hot water bottle! A very good place for our friends catch up. Keep up the great work!
Great spot
Julie W - 18th February 2024Great stay in a Beautiful spot with a older but good size and well appointed home
Splendid Stay
Margaret L - 5th November 2023What a wonderful family friendly stay! We had a perfect holiday and although it was overcast and drizzly we found plenty of local activities to do. A highly recommended holiday stay! Thank you.
Another delightful stay
Thea C - 13th October 2023It was a fantastic experience as always. The combination of a great location and a consistently clean environment has made this place a true gem. It's always a pleasure to return , and we look forward to future visits.
Best Yet!
Sarah M - 26th February 2023What a gem ! This is the best holiday house we’ve rented in Aus in nearly 20 years of living here. We’ve been renting from Hyams Beach Holiday's Collection since 2005. Super location, great layout for our family ( which has grown with a granddaughter in the past few months), and all the kitchen equipment, book collection, bed arrangements and ideal space for our family holiday. Hope we can rent it again as we all loved it so much. Thank you.
Relaxing Getaway!
Ma K - 17th February 2022Stayed at Rowse House for the 2nd time now! Beautifully presented property with stunning beach view. It's only a stone away from Hyams Beach. Will probably come back again next year :)
Perfect location
Gemma O - 29th January 2022We had a lovely stay with 2 families for 2 nights. The house is very comfortable and has a very well equipped kitchen. The location was fantastic! 4 minute walk to either beaches opposite the house.
A great holiday
Jane C - 22nd October 2021A great property.
Rowse Hose review
Mark G - 2nd May 2021Rowse House was very comfortable and a great place to stay. Good location we would stay there again Thanks Mark
What a beautiful and relaxing place to stay. The location is hard to beat and the house had everything we needed!
So impressed with this place, so close to Hyams Beach and great value for money. Perfect spot for a get away. We will be back.
Fabulous location looking directly out on the Bay. Good value for money. It is a bit of hassle bringing your own linen but once the beds were made we really enjoyed our short stay. We’ll definitely stay here again.
Fabulous location
Annette M - 12th February 2021Fabulous location looking directly out on the Bay. Good value for money. It is a bit of hassle bringing your own linen but once the beds were made we really enjoyed our short stay. We’ll definitely stay here again.
We had a great time. The weather was miserable but the house is great with lots of private and communal space/ the kitchen is well equipped with a 70ties flair in appliances. We cooked and laughed and had a great time Thanks again
Good location. Very old house.
Location
Dean C - 19th January 2021The location is the highlight. The beach house itself is an good old fashioned beach house. We had 4 people and it was fine for us, however the property says sleeps 9 which it can but it would be very crowded and some beds need updating to make them comfortable. The view and proximity are what we were after so the house suited us.
My family loved this place. Next to the beach and great views.
Location, Location, Location
Peter C - 31st December 2020Pros: Close to beach (across the road). Great view. Clean Deck Outside beach shower Cons: Very small dishwasher You will be charged $55 if you don't empty the dishwasher before you leave Very expensive (but my family loved it).
We enjoyed our stay at Rowse House, a lovely comfortable spacious home with all the essentials. Highly recommend as overlooking the beach and conveniently a few minutes walk from Chinamans and Hyams Beach.
Great amenities and views in the best part of hyams
Easy booking and good communication
Great location!
David B - 13th November 2020Great views, easy access to the beaches, comfortable and clean. Dog loved the enclosed verandah and walks along the beaches.
Great value for such a stunning location, we had everything that we needed and would book again.
This place was really great for a group of us travelling down south for the weekend! It’s very spacious, equipped with all the basics and the location is amazing- right along the water and had a great outdoor area. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!
Perfect location, great views, and everything we needed, including a very decked out kitchen that we weren’t expecting.
Comfortable enough but update needed
Chris - 26th December 2019This house is exceptionally well located. It desparately needs updating. The carpet is threadbare in parts and bathrooms and kitchen are okay but ordinary. Lacking some basic kitchen items such as a colander. I wouldn't return without assurance that the property is in better nick.
Great location
Malcolm - 20th December 2019An excellent way to spend our holiday. Everything was neat when we arrived, and we had a wonderful time. Thank you!
Relaxed Beach Vibe
Kimbo - 2nd December 2019Return trip to this stunningly located and relaxed beach house. Beautiful outlook with easy walk to the beach & bush walking paths. House is comfortable and retains its family character. Will be back!
Needs an update
LMUI - 1st December 2019Was quite disappointed with this property. Needs a major update. Carpets stained and falling apart in places, lounge filthy and torn on arm, base on bed upstairs falling apart and very old. Some of the crockery/cutlery was not clean. Crumbs and ants on table. Bathrooms, kitchen, floorboards nice and clean though. The only thing going for the place was the location, which was fantastic. Nice view to the beach. Would not recommend this place or stay again.
Needs updating
Leanne - 30th November 2019House needs a major update. Carpet stained and damaged, lounge dirty and ripped, base if bed falling apart. Great location though!
Fabulous!
Hatty - 21st July 2019Our friends and we had the most wonderful and relaxing stay - killer location with relaxed vibe. The deck with those wonderful views is unbeatable. We will be back!
Great ocean view
Xiaoyan - 11th March 2019It’s a perfect spot and million dollars worth view! The house has all basic features we need. We are coming back again!
Settle in and enjoy
Carmel - 5th December 2018We have visited the Rowse House 3 times over the past 12 months. It is beautifully positioned at the quieter Chinamans Beach end of Hyams Beach, right on the front looking through the trees and over the bay, with wide knock-out views from the living areas and two of the upstairs bedrooms. Walks from the house are gorgeous, as is the national park nearby. As you can see from the photos, the house itself is not glam or schmick, rather a comfortable well-furnished holiday home, clearly enjoyed by the owners themselves for decades. There are lots of lovely spots for reading and chatting and mooching, the kitchen is well set up for cooking, and by comparison it is very reasonably priced. Comfort level for 2-4 is excellent, for 6-8 a bit less so, as you'd expect at this price point. All in all, we find it a very pleasurable place to stay.
Great value for money
Sick_of_Sydney - 17th October 2018A nice, clean 4 bedroom property with large living area and great views of Jervis Bay. The mattresses were very comfortable (unlike many holiday homes). the property is showing its age but ver good value for money. I would definitely stay at Rowse House again.
Great location, not so clean
Angelika - 16th March 2018This house is in a great location and has quite a 'family' feel to it. Unfortunately it's not fenced, which means that kids and the dog could not use the backyard. Most of the crockery was dirty and greasy, and some plates had chunks of food stuck to them, which was disgusting. Some towels were also dirty and the upstairs bathroom could use a thorough clean. The house is good value for money if you are willing to wash all the dishes before using them and bring your own clean towels.
