    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

    The three bedroom villa was located in the grounds of the Ramada Resort and guests at Resort Haven were able to use the resort's excellent facilities including pools, spas, gymnasiums and games room, etc. We also enjoyed the two verandas (one of which included a small BBQ.) The location was excellent. It was close to Cowes but in a lovely, quiet area. It was also central to other parts of Phillip Island.

    Beautiful townhouse in a fantastic location. So close to the main street, it was so easy to walk down there as well as to the beach. The townhouse itself was lovely, modern and very clean with lots of natural light. Master suite was so inviting! Good amount of room for the kids to play as well, so it really was ideal and we will definitely stay again next time we head to Phillip Island.

    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.

    Location is beautiful I accidentally booked it as i thought it was a single house at a hotel complex where the essentials would be provided less to pack but I didn't realise once you hit reserve there's no going back. Bbq and Spa are great one underground parking provided. Lots for family to do we had a good time sightseeing.

    The b&b was very clean, the room was very comfortable and the breakfast was superb. Richard and Evie are excellent hosts who are very friendly and helpful. There were some lovely touches like the complimentary water, wine and chocolates which made the stay more special than a large, anonymous hotel.

    Location is a bit far from beach and shops but house size, amenities and cleanliness made up for it. Have stayed at places in Cowes that weren't as good as this house. You can walk to stuff but takes too long if you have small kids or need to bring back heavy items from shops.
