About this property

The Cabin -self contained in the heart of Cowes

The cabin is set in its own jungle environment. Fully self contained.
Bedroom has a double bed. Living area with fold out sofa bed if needed. Table and chairs, Flatscreen TV.
Kitchen has fridge, sinks, stove, microwave, all utensils. Bathroom has shower and toilet.
Outside has a peaceful deck with seating area surrounded with jungle, palms, ferns etc.

Many birds live on the property. Small ringtail possums may greet you as well. Very quiet considering being right in town, minutes walking to shops, restaurants, etc. and pier. It is nestled behind the larger Guest house "Sanantone" as listed on this site. Very safe and private. People say " a piece of Paradise in the midst of chaos "

Loved the accommodation, the vibe was eclectic and vibrant. My only issue was that I couldn't have a nice hot shower, had the hot water running for 5 minutes and no heat came through.Other than that,

Great little place close to town

The property is a really cute little guest home, it has plenty of privacy with lots of trees, plants bushes etc, surrounding the house. Perfect size for a couple to stay in, they provided everything you may need and had great communication. The location is perfect, only a 10 minute walk into the Main Street and a short drive from all tourist attractions. Definitely recommend.
