About the home

“Purple Goose at Red Rocks” is a delightful single-storey family home in Cowes just a comfortable walk from the Red Rocks beach and a short drive from the supermarkets, restaurants & cafés of Cowes. Some of the many features of this lovely home are detailed below:

Indoor Areas

The large open plan Living/Dining Room (with TV, DVD player, Google chrome, tower stereo, 2 x bean bags), provides access to the rear Deck, and flows through to the dual-entrance Kitchen. A Central Hallway leads to Bedroom 1 (with TV, DVD player & BIR), Bedroom 2 (with BIR) and Bedroom 3, the Bathroom (with shower & toilet), and the fully equipped Laundry (with washing machine & clothes dryer) which has a 2nd separate Toilet and additional access to the rear deck.

Outdoor Areas

The fantastic large covered rear deck (with gas BBQ, table & chairs for 8, 2 additional relax chairs and a hammock) is perfect for relaxing/entertaining, and overlooks the fully enclosed yard which is perfect for children and dogs alike (no cats please). The deck also features a convenient shower base with hot/cold water to wash off after the beach (for people & pets), and there is a large dog enclosure in the rear yard too (with bed & bowl provided). There is no access to the shed, but plenty of space for 2 cars on the front driveway and additional space for 1-2 more vehicles (cars and/or a boat) in the rear yard.

Kitchen

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

Heating/Cooling Systems

There is a wall mounted reverse cycle air conditioner in the Living/Dining room, ceiling fans in the Living Room and Bedroom 1, plus three additional stand-alone fans and two portable heaters which can be used where required.

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.

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 had a fully enclosed yard for our dog. We were a bit disappointed as Google chrome cast & DVD player didn't have remotes so couldn't use them, tv in main bedroom turns on but no reception at all, couldn't use that, rooms in house need to be decobwebed, back patio deck needs to have nails hammered in, suggest to wear shoes, on our departure we wanted to vacuum but there is no vacuum cleaner at the property. Kitchen appliances were fully functional.We are annoyed that the gardener turned up on Tuesday 24th March and mowed front & back lawn, why this wasn't done before we arrived or could have been done after we left as it wasn't long and not much of it, invaded our privacy.For what we paid there were a lot of things we couldn't use and also a gardener turning up it wasn't value for money.
