Ocean Blue Beach Front
Perfect base to explore Phillip Island as a family. Ideally located in Cowes too. Apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Peter was prompt with communication. Thanks for having us

3 br townhouse w spa close to beach and penguins!
We had unexpected few accidents just prior to the date of check-in... Jane was very sympathetic and showed her kindness which eased my worries. Despite we had to miss the first night of our stay due to car trouble , Jane offered an early check-in for us as the house was ready for us. In addition, one of my senior little doggies got injured his neck day before the check-in... I had to cancel booking for doggies at doggies' carer as one of my senior doggies couldn't stand and walk due to his sharp pain around his neck.... I was aware that Jane's property wasn't pet friendly so I considered to cancel. Yet Jane organized a kind arrangement for us and doggies which made possible to go on our long weekend away after all the odds! We will be happy to stay at Jane's again;) Thank you for the compliment milk and serials. Kids loved them.

Mackaloucoo Retreats - MR2 - Phillip Island
House was amazing. very spacious. Great facilities. Issues were dealt with promptly.

Island Daze. Spa, Sauna, Cinema Room, Bay Views
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Mauro on several occasions, and he’s consistently been exceptional. He’s incredibly responsive and provides accurate, extremely helpful information. The property itself is well-catered for, with excellent spaces and amenities. The spa and sauna are a must-try – they’re worth every penny! After a surf, they’re the perfect way to unwind and warm up. This is the second time we’ve booked this property, and we’ll definitely be back in the future. Thanks, Mauro! Best regards, Grant Street and co.

Cherub Cottage Romantic Getaway 4min walk to beach
Was a beautiful one night stay, my wife and I enjoyed sitting by the fire and just spending time together in the little loungeroom. Was a great place to just get away from life and enjoy each others company. Anne-Marie was a really good host with helpful instructions everywhere and very simple entry and checkout. We'll be back one day

Waterfront@Waves
We had a wonderful stay at this apartment for a week. The apartment was in immaculate condition, spacious and had all the indemnities needed for a lovely week away. The stunning view from the balcony overlooking the beach was a delight. It is a fantastic location opposite the main beach and a 5-minute stroll to the main shops. Secure and easy parking. I would highly recommend this place.

110@ Waves Phillip Island,Cozy Beach Stay in Cowes

Coolart Studios - Studio Two
We had a great two-night stay on Coolart Road! The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Lovely peaceful spot and a great base for exploring the area. Would happily stay again!

Twin Palms Island Getaway
Very cute house with massive backyard. Just as described.

A block from the beach with big fully-fenced yard
Warwick & Catherine were super friendly and easy to deal with. Communication was excellent. Lovey cosy house which had everything you needed.

Panoramic ocean and countryside views - Waikiki Cr
Great location, spacious living room, kitchen, and beautiful views. There were some hairs on the bed linens, but overall, it’s a good choice for a family vacation.

250m to the beach! Comfortable and Convenient
Had a lovely weekend. The house is a great location and had everything we needed. Might bring dogs next time!

At The Beach PI - Beachley Bungalow 2 WiFi & 1 Pet
Kim's place is easy to find and set in a quieter part of the island with a short stroll to Surf Beach. Well appointed with everything needed for a short stay and a bonus of being pet friendly. Would highly recommend.

Relaxing Beach House very close to the Beach.
Great place to stay, appliances and furniture clean and functional. Great views from the balcony. Bruce is a great host. Very proactive with communications and quick to respond. Good to have condiments in the kitchen and also in the bathroom. Love staying on the island, have been coming there for over 12 years now

The Studio Somers
This is my second stay at Bronwen's 'studio' and it was well worth the revisit. Beautiful, tranquil surroundings with a lovely aesthetic, personal feel. The lovely local treats provided added to the welcoming feel of the stay. Hope to return soon.

Island Escape with Pool
We loved our stay at Jane’s place. Her house is something very special and a beautiful place to be. Jane has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable! From a well stocked kitchen, coffee machine, and tvs in most bedrooms, to a beautiful outdoor bbq area with pool towels provided. Every last detail has been considered! We hope we can get to Philip Island again and be lucky enough to stay again! Thanks Jane :)

200 mt to beach, Family Holiday Unit
We have stayed at Jodie's place 2 or 3 times now, my kids love it, we walk to the beach in the morning and if hot enough, pool for rest of the day. It has everything that suits us as a family including the oval and skate park across the road.

Beachfront at Red Rocks! - with heated Swim Spa!
The accommodation was a perfect size. Main bedroom is great, large with its own bathroom and enclosed outside area. Shared bedrooms maybe a bit small but they're just for sleeping anyway. Plenty of living space, an extra area for kids. Lots of toys and games and a billiard table. The swim spa wasn't heating for us but Chris the host did warn us due to unforeseen circumstances and offered a refund if we wished to cancel. Very close to a beautiful enclosed beach, not very busy and good for swimming. Far enough away from 5he bustle of Cowes centre but close enough to walk or drive in for supplies. Chris was very prompt in replying. Overall, a very good experience and I recommend this accommodation for groups or families. Thank you Chris for offering your place.

The Lodge at Merricks
The house was ideal for our large family, it was a fairly long drive to the beach and the road in is too narrow for our liking. That didn’t bother the rest of the family though. They all won’t to go back next year! I appreciated Nikki’s quick response to a couple of issues and the fact she was easy to contact.

Point Leo Beach House - Point Leo
Great service from Morning Peninsula Holiday Accommodation and quick email responses to queries about the property we selected. We had a very enjoyable experience.

COWES BEACHFRONT RETREAT - WiFi + Netflix
Great location, great host we will book again next time we visit Cowes

Phillip Island Resort Accommodation
Carola’s place is in a private & quiet corner of the resort close to the pool. The unit is very clean and functional with all the necessities provided, including a bath (which wasn’t in the listing, so a welcome surprise for our toddler). The resort is quite fun for kids, with pools and games rooms and a kart track. A lovely place to stay- highly recommended.

Island Escape by the Beach with INDOOR HEATED POOL
We had a lovely family getaway celebrating my mum and dad's 60th. The house has plenty of rooms and common areas with everything you need. The heated pool out the back is amazing - perfect for a rainy day outside. Plenty of pool toys for the kids to enjoy. We also enjoyed the short walk to the beach and the forrest caves nearby. Hosts responsive, friendly and provided a guidebook app with plenty of info about things to do in the area. Would definitely book again!
