About the home

"Clifden Cottage" is a lovely 3 bedroom home in the Red Rocks area of Cowes - close to the beach! Some of the many features of this lovely home are detailed below:

Indoor Areas

The open plan kitchen/dining/living room (with coonara wood heater, large screen smart TV) provides access to the rear deck and yard. The central hallway leads from the Living room to the fully equipped Laundry (with washing machine & clothes dryer), central Bathroom (with bath, shower and toilet), and a second separate toilet. All three Bedrooms have BIR.

Outdoor Areas

The covered rear alfresco (with BBQ and outdoor setting) is perfect to entertain the family, the fully enclosed large rear yard is great for kids and pets and has a hot & cold outdoor shower available up the side of the house opposite to the driveway (accessible only from the backyard) to rinse off after the beach. The front covered deck runs the length of the home.

Kitchen

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

Heating/Cooling Systems

There is a wall mounted reverse cycle air conditioner in the living room, plus a coonara wood heater. There are also ceiling fans in all three bedrooms plus electric heaters in each of the BIR as well.

Bedroom 1: One King bed
Bedroom 2: One Queen bed
Bedroom 3: One Tri-bunk

Please note: The Tri-bunk has a double bed base with a single bed above it.

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.

Functions, Celebrations and Schoolies

Please note that the home is not suitable for celebrations, parties or large events. The home also does not take bookings over Schoolies.

Lovely cottage but overpriced
Cottage is lovely and I'm a nice peaceful area but at the price we paid per night you would expect some nicer touches. I think the price included an excessive cleaning fee but the cottage wasn't very clean, the bathrub was dirty and we found a cockroach. One of the bins hadn't been emptied from a previous guest. The beds were super hard, I ended up with a bad back which really ruined our holiday and there were other things that just felt really tight. Like no coffee and only two rolls of toilet paper. We also had to bring our own linen and towels because they wanted to charge an extra fee for that. If you're charging so much a night youd expect that to be included in the price. Overall probably wouldn't book again even if it was cheaper purely because of the bed.
