About this property

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.

We had a wonderful stay at Roaring Beach and couldn’t recommend it more highly. From the moment we arrived, it felt welcoming and genuinely pet friendly, which made all the difference for us. The property was clean, beautifully maintained, and truly felt like a home away from home.The location is unbeatable—right opposite a dog-friendly beach—making it perfect for relaxed walks and easy days by the water. The accommodation itself was very well appointed, with everything we needed for a comfortable and restful stay.It was an incredibly relaxing experience overall, but the absolute highlight was being able to see the aurora from the verandas—an unforgettable and magical moment that made our stay extra special.
