    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.

    I am sending these 2 photos as on the screen shot you see I paid for a studio with patio and balcony and all I got was this pod for $500 per night. They lied about what my accommodation was to you. Probably because they had a big group staying as well they decided to shove me down in a "trades pod". Unacceptable! They need to give me a refund and booking.com can't trust them in the future! Thanks Kerry

    Biggest size motor inn we had been for our Australian travelling experience. The staff were all lovely and helpful. Gave us complimentary detergent while we did our self service laundry. Location is convenient in Cowes town center and beach area. Very nice garden area. Parking right in front of room. Bathroom is a good size. Comfy beds and pillows. Has a kitchenette for dining convenience. Complimentary chocolates and biscuits, coffee, tea, milk. Recommended and will stay here again in case back in Phillip Island.

    Glen Isla House is the perfect accommodation to visit Phillip Island. Richard and Eave have been very welcoming and gave us all the information we needed to plan our visit. The location is very quiet and the lounge where breakfast is served is to a very high standard, not to mention the quality of the food being served (everything freshly baked) and the delicious coffee made by Richard with his Jura coffee machine.

    the apartment was amazing - our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer! We spent one night on Phillip Island so we could go to the penguin parade. the apartment is perfectly located for this and for popping into Cowes, which has plenty of shops and eateries. beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean, there wasn’t anything we would change - lovely warm welcome and explanation of how things worked!

    Cowes is the place to stay on Phillip Island, and Captain's Nook is walking distance to the centre of town for shops, cafes and restaurants. Birdlife and wildlife are excellent in the vicinity, Penguin Parade not to be missed (and worth paying for premier seats) Captains Nook is very well set up, perfect for up to 5 people. Very comfortable bed, lovely spa bath, 2 lounge areas.

    Our self contained cabin was lovely and it was so clean and tidy. The kitchen/dining area was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The beds were clean and also very comfortable. The location was excellent right on the beach and only a minute or two from Cowes. Staff were so welcoming and friendly. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely stay again!

    Quaint and cosy hidden accommodation. Location is fantastic as it is down the road, a short walk from the beach and shops. There is a shared kitchen and resting area which is handy. This also room has a tiny balcony which was nice. Access and check in/check out was self.service and very convenient.

    Location was fantastic. Could easily walk to the beach, cafes and restaurants. The living space was very large. The kitchen was compact, but perfectly fine for a holiday. The pool is not heated, but the spa was very warm. Overall, a great place for a family holiday.
