    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.

    There is a lot to do in Cowes. It's great for swimming at the beach. You can go on pleasant walks, go bird watching. You can go fishing on the pier. There are many restaurants, cafes & shops to visit. There are amusement places & animal parks to enjoy.

    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

    Location for brunch and lunch great, disappointed in evening meals. Good base if you have car to explore island. The Thai restaurant is an experience and great value and food. The two upmarket restaurants were disappointing, expensive and food unfortunately was underwhelming.

    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.

    my daughter got a high fever and need to go to hospital the day before we go to their hotel, and I called them the early morning to cancel my reservation and they said no, they thought It was our own business, not theirs, and they still charged our expense, it is not friendly to us. we don’t like this hotel, even though they have four stars, they don’t have understanding on others. I can tell you that when I called to our next hotel, they can totally understand us and give us free cancellation.

    Motel was located close to centre of town and restaurants as well as a short drive to the Phillip Island Racetrack. The motel supplied plenty of tea and coffee as well as biscuits (something that seems to be rationed these days at other places) and the staff made sure we were happy. The room was large and had everything we needed. I would recommend it very highly for anyone going to Phillip Island. For those attending the racetrack there is also trailer parking available.

    Quite large and spacious - would suit a large-ish group. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms nicely appointed and the couch was quite comfortable. We arrived during a day-long power outage so there was no electricity until about 1 the next morning - luckily the host had phoned us to advise that the power was out in the whole town so we got dinner on the way. The location would be walking distance to Cowes centre in summer but not so much on a cold and windy winter weekend.

    We stayed in the boat house apartment at Oaktree lodge for three nights. Every little detail was thought of including everything you need for breakfast. Sue the owner even provided a little bed for my son. The decorations and cosy atmosphere were heavenly. So relaxing and comfortable and close to Cowes and all attractions. With quiet garden and sea views. This is perfect for a romantic weekend as a couple or a family of three get away. Highly recommend this place!!! Sara

    Located in the heart of Cowes, this accommodation is walking distance to the main street, shopping, and the beachfront. The rooms were spaciously furnished with a great deal of amenities covering all our needs. The beds were comfortable, and the décor was magnificent and very child-friendly (including a baby gate at the top of the stairs). It is a perfect place for our Phillip Island getaway.

    quirky character filled property a bit away from the rush of Cowes but close to a beach with great views from upstairs room. Spacious room with full kitchen. Some interesting experiences whilst undergoing renovations- Lots of extravagant features, but offset with some dodgy shortcuts and cheap touches. New management have plans that should make this a great stay.

    Very comfortable accommodation in the Castle Main house. Large bedroom with elevated small balcony overlooking the garden, and separate sitting room and bathroom. Bed very comfortable and everything is generally well appointed but within an older house. Located a 5 min walk from the centre of Cowes. The garden is a feature!

    The room was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Set in a peaceful neighborhood it was still only a short walk to the shops and eateries of Cowes. One thing that stood out on this trip to Phillip Island was how friendly the people we encountered were, from shopkeepers, locals to the other daytrippers.

    Spacious 2 bedroom separate house, spacious living room, complete home amenities except for a dishwasher. Our unit was facing what seems to be part of the wildlife park, so we could see kangaroos from our windows. Place is quiet but very near the main town square. Have good playground for kids.

    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.

    House is within walking distance to Cowes, and the beach. Kids loved the pool and it’s nice that it’s only communal with about 4 other properties. Good size rooms and separate area for kids to watch TV
