    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 home was extremely spacious with 3 living zones, one we used with the fold-out sofa as an extra bedroom. Eating outside in the fully enclosed sunroom meant no dramas when the kids dropped food. Air con was more than sufficient in cooling the home. The home was immaculately clean and the kitchen was well appointed. Only minutes from Cowes town centre and all the local attractions of Phillip Island. There was a fully secured garage and lush lawn in the back yard...the kids had so much room to play.

    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.

    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.

    We stayed at one of new cabins and was very comfortable and clean. They have everything you need for a short or long stay. Our cabin was heater on when we arrived and it was very much appreciated (we arrived in a very cold day!). Kids just loved it. You can do everything by walking to Cowes town center.

    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 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.

    Loved the room, the outdoor space, how close it is to the centre of Cowes and how accessible the rest of Phillip Island is. The host was great showed us through the room and recommended lunch and dinner spots. The brekky supplied was fresh and delicious.

    The hotel was close to the beach. It was great to be able to walk across the road for a swim & it was close for viewing the fireworks on NYE. We were able to walk to the shops & restaurants. It was very pleasant to go for a stroll in Cowes.

    cheap and cheerful. A lot of work is needed to property but that’s reflected in the price. Huge house, that’s well set out (bedrooms one end, living room the other). Would definitely comeback.
