Great location with easy parking
We were a party of two couples visiting Phillip Island. The property was clean and in a great walkable location with easy parking for unit. The showers in the two full bathrooms were a little dated but clean and functional. We arrived from overseas and the owner was very responsive. Easy check in and out. Would recommend.

Perfect Stay
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very quick response from Dimitrios, which I wasn’t expecting on a query with the TV. Everything was as advertised. Would love to come back.

The perfect Phillip Island stay!
What a fantastic stay! Everything you want within walking distance. We left the car parked in the garage our entire stay. 1 min walk to the beach and a 3 minute walk to Cowes centre shopping and cafe strip. A more than comfortable stay for a family with 2 boys (aged 11 and 12). A clean and well maintained townhouse with everything you need to make your holiday effortless. Communication with Jim was always prompt, in the lead up to and after our stay. We've been coming to Cowes for 12 years and this has been our best stay. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to Cowes and would definitely return. Thanks Jim and Linda for being such great hosts.

Happy and easy going, wanting to just enjoy life by the beach.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property to be able to get away for the weekends and thought to share it with others, that also want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The process to find the right property was 4 years and why his property? Because it is close and walking distance to the beach, approximately 100 metres and to the city centre, approximately 150 metres.

After a long day at the beach, it is good to walk to the house, rest, clean up and head out for the evening. Getting into a car, loading and unloading, getting it dirty with sand is the last thing you want to do after a day in the sun. Also, no issue if you drink, as you park the car and forget it and walk everywhere.

What makes this property unique

House that has everything for a get away without the price of a hotel.
