About the home

"Echidna Hollow" is a family friendly single level home with 3 separate living areas in Cowes, just a short drive from the beach, and restaurants, cafes and supermarkets of Cowes. Some of the many features of this lovely home are detailed below:

This expansive home offers a Master bedroom with en-suite (with double vanity, shower and separate toilet), a separate laundry, central open plan kitchen (with walk through pantry) opening into the generous sized dining and family room (with smart TV). Close by is the separate 2nd living (or sitting) room and nearer the front of the home is TV room (with smart TV). Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 all have BIR and close access to the main bathroom (with bath and shower) and separate powder room.

With the table tennis table (in the garage), dozens of DVD's, lots of family games, puzzles and books plus plenty of space to spread out, large families will be easily entertained.

Outdoor Areas

The rear covered outdoor entertaining area (with gas BBQ & seating for 6) provides the perfect place to enjoy time with friends and family, and overlooks the fully enclosed side & rear yard - perfect for kids. The Double garage (with fold up table tennis table) has internal access to the home as well as direct access to the fully rear yard, and provides parking for 2 cars, with space for another 2 vehicles (cars and/or a boat) in the driveway.

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.
