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.

Property falsely advertised with decades old pictures - AVOID!
Property was advertised as "near new" with pictures showing a very neat looking house and tidy garden. On arrival, we actually drove past it as we could not recognise the property - it looked nothing like the listing. Trees have basically grown 2 storeys tall, grass about 15-30cm high. One of the worst stays I have ever experienced for the following reasons: - actual age and condition of property is about 10 years older than advertised. - one room was advertised with a king bed which actually turned out to be a queen bed. When I questioned the agent, they disagreed with me...until I sent them the actual measurements. The agent subsequently quietly changed the listing to alter this to a queen bed (without admitting it). - outdoor setting area was completely caked in bird poop and unusable (if only I can share pictures in this review..). The area was completely ignored by cleaners (for good reason probably because they would have needed a high pressure cleaner to remove all that poop). Very unfortunate because we were looking to have a nice outdoor BBQ during our stay. - Outdoor BBQ was filthy - bird poop and cobwebs and clearly not been cleaned for months. Digusting and unusable. - When we advised agent of the unclean outdoor dining and BBQ, they advised they would send a cleaner. Despite 3 follow ups, no cleaner came to the property over our 3 night stay. - one part of couch had leather completely peeling off. Really time to replace this. - Property advertised as having a Nespresso pod machine actually had a manual ground coffee machine...so the pods we brought with us couldn't actually be used. - Agent and owner clearly lack any care and attention to detail and really dishonest in using photos that are decades old to advertise the property. On the plus side, we stayed over Halloween and the cobwebs and spiders inside and outside the house really added to the Halloween spirit. Unless you're staying over Halloween, this is a property to avoid.

Beautiful relaxing stay
Came here with a group of friends and this was the perfect house for our early morning walks to the beach, trips into town and the perfect environment and neighbourhood to have a relaxing afternoon. Loved every minute of it!!

A disappointing weekend
Overall, there were a few major issues that were very disappointing given the amount we paid per night. The BBQ appeared to have never been cleaned and was completely out of gas. We chose not to purchase a full gas bottle in case this was not refunded back to us by the owners. This was frustrating as a main reason we chose this property was due to having access to a BBQ. Only 3 out of the 5 stove burners in the kitchen were working and the oven turned on but would not heat up. Please consider updating your couch as it is extremely worn and created a significant amount of mess. When we arrived the main kitchen and dining surfaces had not been wiped down and there were crumbs on the benches and floor. I understand that the house may have multiple bookings back to back or some groups may not always leave things as they are found however general cleanliness and making sure key household and kitchen items are functioning is vital. Our group will not be returning to this property.

Nothing less than perfection
There’s nothing more stressful than trying to accomodate two families, Valencia - Cowes was the perfect home for the 12 of us! From the moment we walked in there was so much room , the home was kid friendly , close to shops, the beach and checking in was easy! So many things about this home were amazing I was highly impressed with the fact that there was no switches in the house , very energy efficient and something I’d like to introduce into my home personally. The backyard was massive and we were all able to enjoy a family bbq as a grill was provided. Will definitely be coming back for sure. Well done guys , my family is very thankful for the service and appreciative of being welcomed into your home. Sarah

The house was absolutely amazing! Very spacious, clean and with modern furbishing. We went with 3 families and everyone loved it so much that they just wanted to stay indoors! Definitely would return here.
