    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

    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.

    Location is excellent that it is right next to the main street of all restaurants, supermarkets, cafe and bakery. Basic kitchen stuff and stove are available so can do self cooking if needed. The shower is fantastic with very strong water pressure so can be treated as a kind of massage after a full day of visiting Phillip Island.

    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.

    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.

    By far the best house I’ve stayed at in Phillip Island. We needed a place that was close to the track for the GP weekend and it ticked all the boxes. Would highly recommend it for family or bunch of friends who are after a house with proper amenities as well as a spacious bedding and dinning area.

    Great location in Cowes and close proximity to most tourist attractions. The beach, shops, and even other main tourist attractions such as the Penguins, Amaze n' Things, Churchill Island, were about 5-15 minute drives at most.

    The house was really comfortable. We needed a relaxing time in a warm and cozy place. And we got it. Very cleaned and there wasn't anything to be worried at all. My kids didn't want to leave the house.

    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
