About this property
Cottage on the terrace
Cottage on the terrace is a lovely presented two bedroom elevated beach house, midway between front and back beaches of Rye.
At the front of the property there is undercover parking with ten steps leading up to the Cottage's entrance. The front decking takes full advantage of the afternoon sunshine and overlooks a fully fenced treed front yard. This decking with it's Adirondack chairs is perfect for lazy afternoons, sunbathing or watching the kids play in the front yard.
Upon entrance to the Cottage there are polished floorboards throughout, with two good size bedrooms, a clean bathroom, a kitchen that overlooks the open plan living/dining areas and glass french doors that lead out to the back elevated entertaining deck.
The two sunny bedrooms comprising of a master bedroom with queensize bed, two side tables, digital clock radio with bluetooth and USB charger built in, lamps, electric blanket, full length mirror and a full size built in wardrobe. The second bedroom has two single beds, lamps, toy cupboard, and a full size built in wardrobe. All the beds are comfortable with mattress protectors and come with pillows and doonas, please note linen and towels are not supplied.
The bathroom is clean and bright and has a full size bathtub and a hairdryer for your convenience.
This cottage has a fully equipped modern kitchen with the convenience of a dishwasher (why wash dishes on your holiday!), a full size fridge/freezer, microwave, oven, cooktop, toaster, kettle and all pots, pans, cutlery and crockery needed. There is also a coffee espresso machine (BYO K-free Aldi Pods). The kitchen has an island bench with stools, large windows that look over the back entertainment deck to the trees beyond and glass french doors.
The private entertaining deck which looks across a valley of trees is set up with a large table, chairs and a BBQ. The decking stairs lead you down to the ground level where there are many rear garden terraces with trees and pathways to explore. There is also a laundry on this level with a washing machine available to those guest staying 5 days or more upon request (otherwise there is a good laundry mat in Rye). Also on this level is a large clothes line (a smaller one is on the top level undercover near the french doors).
The lounge/dining area provides plenty of comfortable seating with a two seater couch and a three seater couch. There is also a 42 inch plasma TV, DVD player, Stereo system with radio/CD/bluetooth, board games, magazines, books, CDs, DVDs and our welcome information book which has brochures, maps, etc on what to do on the Mornington Peninsula. Please note we do not have WiFi. For your comfort we have provided a reverse cycle airconditioner for heating and cooling and a ceiling fan. The lounge/dinning area has big windows that over look the front decking and yard to the trees and garden.
Some of our guest comments in our Guestbook are "comfy", "cosy", "clean", "well presented", "we will definitely be back", "had a great stay".
This great cottage is a short drive to many places such as 5 minutes to the Rye shops, 3 minutes to calm waters of the bay and 4 minutes to the excitement of the back beaches (No16 Beach). Take advantage of the convenient location to the many activities offered by the peninsula such as wineries, hot springs (8mins), golfing, Peninsula 3 drive in (20mins) or just a simple walk along the beach.
