About the home

"Fireside Retreat" is a modern family home in Cowes, close to the restaurants, cafes and supermarkets of central Cowes. Some of the many features of this lovely home are detailed below:

Indoor Areas

The large open plan kitchen (with walk in pantry) sits between the two main living zones; one of which is a fire place nook with modern comfortable couches near the fire (coonara wood-heater), and the other zone is the larger main living area (with smart TV including a Kayo subscription & a DVD player). The Master bedroom has a huge WIR and en-suite (with double vanity, shower & toilet). There is another separate living area (with TV & DVD player) leads to the other three bedrooms (each with BIR), the main bathroom (with double vanity, bath & shower), and a separate toilet. The seperate laundry provides access to the large deck.

Outdoor Areas

The huge covered rear deck (8m x 6m) has a BBQ and seating for 6 guests, and overlooks the fully enclosed yard with fabulous fire pit area (and seating for 9 -10 people). There is a double carport and one space behind a separate set of gates (which is big enough for a boat), with additional parking available in the driveway if required. There is also a great playground just a short walk away.

Kitchen

The fully appointed kitchen is equipped with standard cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, microwave, toaster, kettle, Aldi pod coffee machine, etc. plus a double sink, walk in butlers pantry, large fridge, dishwasher, electric oven and cook top.

Heating/Cooling Systems

There is a wall mounted reverse cycle air-conditioner in the main living room, all of the bedrooms have ceiling fans, and there is coonara wood-heater in the main living room. There is also one portable fan in the Master bedroom.

Bedroom Configuration

This home has 6 beds, accommodating up to 8 guests:

Bedroom 1: One King bed
Bedroom 2: One Queen bed
Bedroom 3: Two Single beds

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.
