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

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.
The property was perfect for our situation; a weekend away with our three adult daughters, son-in-law, and our two year old granddaughter. Our eldest daughter, her husband and granddaughter had the master bedroom at the front of the house, and we occupied the three bedrooms at the rear of the house. The house, including bedrooms, was spacious, immaculately clean, child friendly (with books and toys), well heated and generally exceptionally well presented. We did not use the outdoor facilities or garden due to poor weather.
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.
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.
Property was beautiful. Well equipped and just gorgeous in terms of decor and setting. 5 mins to the incredible Red Rocks Beach on foot and same to Cowes in a car. Quiet and tranquil, just perfect for a few days away on the island as a family. We didn’t get to use the fire pit sadly as the weather wasn’t great, but would love to come back and make the most of the outdoor space too.
This accommodation is at the center of the major tourist spots on the Phillip Island, such as Penguin Parade and Cowes Beach. The room is very clean and spacious, with a decent size of the living room and cooking area. The little porch area was lovely. The staff was there upon our arrival to provide information and easy to check out via key-dropping.
Location was perfect for the access to the beach. I thought it would be a bit noisy being right at the entrance but it really was not bad at all.
I was unsure about the facilities so brought far too much, although I did use my coffee machine every day.
Discovered some great food in Cowes and San Remo.
The location was excellent - it felt like we were out in the bush but at the same time we had all the facilities of a holiday resort and were close to Cowes main street, and the beach. The 3 bedroom unit was well set out and clean, and had lots of home comforts.
This property is well located, clean and comfortable. A great location to be in when staying in Cowes. Walking distance to cafes and restaurants. A short drive to the attractions on the Island. The view from the courtyard is wonderful.
Love Cowes and North Pier Hotel, beautiful location, lovely bright room with balcony looking out to the water and incredibly good price, even though the weather was a bit iffy still has a great stay, will definitely go back
Location was good away from the busy part of Cowes and closer to the Penguin Parade. House was great for our needs. Excellent that it was pet friendly. Comms were excellent and prompt.
The location was close to many of the areas that we intended to visit which made it really convenient. The house felt like a home. It was comfortable, clean and very well equipped.
this house is excellent for young families, very comfy beds, great location to Cowes Main Street (short 2-3min drive), everything provided that we needed
