The other two bedrooms are also downstairs and both have BIR; Bedroom 2 also with an en suite (with shower and toilet) and Bedroom 3 is next to the 'main' bathroom (with shower and bath and a separate toilet off the laundry). The downstairs living room has a tv (with Apple tv) and a small kitchenette with a second microwave oven.

Walk upstairs for the magnificent ocean views from the large modern open plan kitchen (with bi-fold servery windows to the deck), dining and living room with polished floorboards, a reverse cycle air conditioner, tv (with apple tv) and fireplace. Step out of the bi-fold doors onto the large upstairs deck.

The fully appointed kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, microwave, Expressi coffee machine (Aldi brand), toaster, kettle, etc. plus a double sink, pantry, large fridge, dishwasher, electric oven and gas cook top.

There is also a fold out Queen divan/sofa in the downstairs living room suitable for 2 adults or children.

Linen

It is common in the region for some linen to be provided for bookings, and some linen to be available as an optional extra. By default, a booking at this home does not include optional linen (top & bottom sheets, bath towels and pillowcases). What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for. The additional cost would be a one-off charge of $30 per bed (some sites add a service fee to these costs) - and we prefer 7 days' notice prior to your arrival to get that arranged.

Peak Periods

Please note that during the peak summer period and other peak times, * check in times *are set as 3pm (unless by prior arrangement). Please also note that if you avail of the optional* linen hire *over these times, it may involve linen being left out but beds not being made up.

Our Happy Place
The Deck house has become our happy place, a home away from home. The location is perfect, short drive to Cowes, a hop, skip and jump to Smiths beach which is good for a surf and the view is spectacular. And to compliment all that is a fireplace and comfortable beds. I am planning for many more stays at this place. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT
