Outdoor Areas

There are outdoor tables and chairs on the upstairs balcony (with electronic shade awning) as well as in the downstairs enclosed yard. Also at your disposal is the communal solar-heated in-ground pool, and shady BBQ area. There’s a double lock up garage with a fold out table tennis as well at the home. There are also some visitor car parks as well as street parking.

The fully appointed kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, microwave, coffee machine, toaster, kettle, etc. plus a sink, fridge, dishwasher, electric oven and cook top.

Heating/Cooling Systems

The home has 2 x wall mounted reverse cycle A/C units - one in the upstairs living room and the other in the downstairs foyer. There’s also a ceiling fan in both of the upstairs bedrooms.

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.

Highly recommend this property for your next stay in Cowes
The property was very easy to access and in a great location, close to shops, restaurants and the beach. The house was very spacious and clean, and it was great that we were able to have use of the washing machine and dryer and other appliances, as it made it easier for us all to have it available to us throughout our stay. There was plenty of things to do, especially for the adults, with access to games and WiFi. Highly recommend this property for your next family vacation in Cowes!
