Very spacious comfortable property on a quiet street, with wonderful access to outdoor areas from every bedroom. The covered main deck is so well suited to kicking back and relaxing. We love Phillip Island and this place adds an extra level of enjoyment.

This place is perfect for a big group, there were 11 of us and we all had ample room to relax. Beds are very confortable, the house is spacious with great outdoor seating and confortable couches inside plus a well equipped kitchen. The house is situated close to all the wonderful restaurants and shops that Cowes has to offer, also all the great walking tracks that Phillip Island has. We all felt extremely relaxed after spending a wonderful long weekend in this perfect place. We can't wait to come back, thanks for a wonderful stay.
This property was perfect but could have supplied some extra towels and tea towels The layout of the house, parking and cleanliness was excellent.However there was no gas in the BBQ bottle we only managed one breakfast with the supply that was left. Our group purchased a new one & left it at the property.
