Fantastic property, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Well stocked kitchen, great fireplace, huge house which easily accommodated our group. Amazing birdlife in the surrounding gardens and bushland. Everyone in the group agreed that we would be returning to this property in future.

What a great place to stay on Philip Island - fantastic & spacious house, beautifully presented, beautifully furnished and really well equipped, on an acre of flat open space for the kids / grand kids, with beautifully maintained gardens and a private dam (complete with a wonderful old goose and a recently born family of ducks). Amazing time had by all. Will definitely be back - for longer next time!

Thank you for staying at our property, and for your kind review. Look forward to your next stay with us. Regards
We had a wonderful 5 nights with all the family over Christmas/New Year. Large property with plenty of space for everyone both inside and out. Premium price but you get what you pay for and we enjoyed every minute. Don’t bother with your fishing rods for the dam as the owner told us there are no fish to be caught, maybe a yabby, which was our only disappointment. The comment “bring your fishing rod.....” needs to be removed from the property brief. We had a great break and we would book again outside of the peak period.
