Amazing accommodation and an exceptionally friendly host. Unfortunately for us, we only planned to stay one night on Phillip Island—we would have loved to spend several days in this apartment. It was the best place we stayed in during our 5 weeks in Australia! 🙃

We had a fantastic stay at this spacious and spotless holiday home, just a short drive from the Penguin Parade. The house was very clean and well-equipped, with a full kitchen that made cooking easy and convenient. The heater kept the home warm and comfortable throughout our stay. Another big plus was the location — it's close to grocery stores and other local shops, which made it easy to grab essentials. A great choice for families or groups wanting a comfortable and convenient base to explore Phillip Island. Highly recommended!

    The penguins were an essential visit and didn’t disappoint.

    The penguins were an essential visit and didn’t disappoint. Lots of wildlife to see. Local venues had live music and the food was wonderful. Only draw back is Cowes seems to shut down after 10pm, so need your own entertainment after that, we just listened to the ocean and relaxed.

    Cowes is a lovely shore side town on Phillip Island.

    Cowes is a lovely shore side town on Phillip Island. It is at the far end of the island from the bridge to cross over to the island. The town is well equipped with all softs of shops, and is a good spot to use as a base to travel around the island and experience all the sights that are available.

    Cowes is a cool climate beach and water. If you cannot afford cost or time to get warmer water, enjoy what is affordable at Cowes. If you want extras, try half-hour drive to San Remo pub, or one hour to Wonthaggi.

    We did a mosaics class at Mosaics by the Bay, located in Ventnor. I've been to Cowes a few times and the shopping and restaurants are very good. The beach is really nice. It is very easy to get around. It can be very busy during peak seasons. There are the penguin parade, whale watching certain times of the year, adventure parks, mini golf at Grumpy's. There is a lot to do for couples as well as families.

    Fantastic location, a beautiful 20 minute stroll on the beach to Cowes main street. Also have a beautiful beach right around the corner. There is a great café on site with good coffee and a good selection of sandwiches and baked treats and very good prices. The room was super spacious, very clean and the bed was so comfy! Sari from reception was so lovely and accommodating, running the spa for us late at night incase we wanted to use it. Would definitely come back here next time we’re in Phillip Island.

    It was an easy walking distance to the main drag of cowes. We had two seniors and two under 3years old with us and it was very straight forward to get around. It was great walking distance to supermarkets too. The house was easy to access, perfect for our family to spread out and have their own space but also be together of an evening or during nap times in the lounge. Would definitely stay again
