About this property
Carrick Cottage - A Home Away From Home
Carrick Cottage is a delightful, fully refurbished three-bedroom home, just a leisurely 10-minute stroll to the heart of town and the iconic Lakes Entrance Footbridge to access the surf beach.
Superbly appointed, this comfortable cottage set in landscaped gardens offers a wonderful family holiday experience or romantic getaway, with everything you need to feel right at home.
The cottage features a light-filled sunroom for you to relax and read a book. There is a large spacious lounge room with air-con, Smart TV, a DVD player (with USB input) and mini-Hi-Fi system with iPod input. The cottage is also NBN-connected with wi-fi. There is also an extensive range of DVDs, CDs, books and board games for your enjoyment.
The bright, modern air-conditioned kitchen is fully equipped with pots and pans, cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery and glassware to enable guests to self-cater throughout their holiday. There is an electric stovetop and oven, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, fridge and plenty of pantry space for your goods.
The cottage sleeps a family of 6 guests, with a maximum of only 4 adults. A porta-cot can be supplied if required. The main bedroom is air-conditioned and comprises a queen bed with a wall-mounted LED TV. The middle bedroom has a bunk bed for 2 children. The third bedroom consists of 2 large single beds that can be configured into 1 king bed. All bedrooms have fans. Heaters for the winter months can be provided for the middle and third bedrooms. Clothes hangers are provided.
There is one bathroom with shower and toilet. A baby bathtub can be supplied if required. Hair dryer is provided. All bath towels and bed linen are supplied except for beach towels.
The cottage has a fully-equipped laundry with tub, washing machine, dryer, iron and ironing board. A basket and pegs are also provided to hang washing on the outside clothesline.
Venturing outside you will find a decked, covered patio, outdoor dining table and chairs and a large BBQ for you to enjoy on those warm nights. Superb, landscaped gardens allow you and the family to enjoy the tranquillity of the cottage setting.
There are lots of toys and games for the children including totem tennis and lawn water slide. We can also provide boogie boards, beach bucket and spade and a picnic basket for the family to enjoy at the beach.
Please note that the property is not suitable for bucks/hen’s groups, Schoolies or other groups looking to have loud parties and only the maximum number of guests will be permitted to stay overnight.
