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.

Weekend Getaway
We had a great stay at Cowes Family Retreat, the property was perfect for our group of 5 families. Each bedroom was very generous in size as well as convenient with their own ensuite. There were many different communal areas for everyone also. Just a short walk to the beach and not far from the main shops. The property had everything we needed!

90th Birthday Celebration
Great house for our family group to celebrate my mums 90th birthday. Kids loved the outdoor spa and pool table and the short walk to have a swim and a coffee. We will be back.
