It was so clean and comfy. Maybe another smaller couch or arm chair wouldn’t go astray near the bigger couch. Five of us tried to fit on one couch and was tight Kids would love to have had wifi while there but still enjoyed it.

    Stayed an extra night because lightning prevented us from seeing the penguins. So glad we did as there is a lot to see for 2 full days. Nobbies were spectacular as was surf at Cape and wild life everywhere. Local history of Churchill Island was well worth the visit.

    Cowes is a beautiful seaside town reminiscent of seaside towns you would find in the UK and Europe. Beautiful beaches with golden sand. Plenty of cafe's and restaurants and lots of things to do on Philip Island. There is a boat launch in Cowes and the jetty has ferries which depart regularly to Stony Point and French Island. Seal and whale watching tours also operate. The big highlight of Philip Island is of course the Penguins and nightly Penguin Parade.

    I stayed in one of the new studio cabins.

    I stayed in one of the new studio cabins. It was really well set out and had everything that I needed, along with beautiful crisp white sheets and fluffy towels. It was a very pleasant stay and the hotel staff were all helpful and friendly. It’s also in a very good position right on the beach and a short walk to Cowes township. Definitely worth a visit!

    Cowes is a live town not just a tourist town with everything you need easily accessible. Lovely locals, lots of options, interesting and nature all around. Easy, short drive to Penguin parade and multiple beaches. Very clean, safe and picturesque, a great location from which to discover the island's many attractions.

    Stayed at North Pier Hotel .

    Stayed at North Pier Hotel . We booked family room which comes with an outdoor patio. Great location. Within walking distance to family friendly beach and restaurants. We had the best lamb curry in Chocolate Factory cafe. Not spicy, lamb was tender, suitable for kids. Love the fish and chips!! We purchased bundle pass which comes with Penguin Parade, Churchil Island (picnic area, picturesque view, Highlander cow), Koala Conservation (spotted lots of koala on the trees while walking on boardwalk). Highly recommended these places of interest.

    Fantastic location, very short walk to Coles, Aldi , the main street of Cowes and easily walkable to the beach. Heaps of cafes, vintage shops and restaurants nearby. Cottage was perfect for 3, including comfy couch. Smart TV was very welcome. Kitchen doesn't have oven, but the electric frypan, microwave and hotplate meant we could do great self catering. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment and a good teabag/coffee bag/sugar starter kit. We appreciated decent stock of toilet paper, dishwashing detergent and 2 good tea towels.

    We had and absolutely wonderfull stay at Glen Island House Bed & Breakfast on Phillip Island. The staff were absolutely lovely, kind, generous, friendly, and welcoming. Everything was perfect! The amenities were very clean, and the breakfast was delicious, made with love and high quality. The location provide easy access and was close to everywhere we wanted to go. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

    This accommodation is at the center of the major tourist spots on the Phillip Island, such as Penguin Parade and Cowes Beach. The room is very clean and spacious, with a decent size of the living room and cooking area. The little porch area was lovely. The staff was there upon our arrival to provide information and easy to check out via key-dropping.
