The Colonnades Dream
House is spotless, location sensational - can walk to Wooli Tavern and shops easily. Owners are accommodating, friendly and helpful with local tips (great tip on the good restaurants) it was a perfect stay for us. A larger family would also love this well designed property with big backyard, spa and basketball half court.

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
Beautiful cottage! Very cosy with the fire and all other amenities. Had a fantastic stay. The cottage is very close to the penguins and close to the town centre.

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.

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

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!

Seaside Gem
This house is amazing. Lots of space, clean and in a quiet suburb. So if you want to just relax and chill out and get away from the hustle and bustle, this is the perfect house. It's close to everything on the island, a short drive into Cowes and San Remo for shops. We totally enjoyed our stay. Peter is a great host and quick to respond to any questions you might have. AAA+++

At The Beach PI - Beachley Bungalow 2 Inc WiFi
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.

Great location, Cowes Golden Circle Wifi Chromcast
A great place in a perfect location. An easy walk to the centre of Cowes. Fabulously quiet place to stay.

Everyone Loves It Here : )
Tims place was a hidden gem, lovely views, spacious, clean and comfortable accommodation, close to the dog beach and nature reserve. Tick, tick, tick!!!

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

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.

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

Family Villa. Cowes-Early Check in-Late Check out
We had a lovely stay! The host was very nice and always responded quickly to any questions we had, which made everything smooth and easy. The location is great—it's within a kid-friendly hotel, and we were able to access the hotel facilities, which was a big plus for our family. Everyone enjoyed the stay, and we'd definitely come back again. Highly recommend!

Beach House Apartment
Great place to stay with kids. Playground is a little rundown but the kids didn’t seem to mind. Perfect location, walking distance to the beach and cafes. Enjoyable stay.

Penguins by the Beach
Was a great stay with friends and family. Had a wonderful time and lots of fun activities to do there is phillip island
