    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

    Brilliant for families, basic room had stove, kettle, toaster, teatowels, dining table and chairs, sofa, electric blankets (lovely!) and BEST thing - a powerful shower! We had room 3, directly outside was a bbq and seating, down the way a pool and playground for younger kids. Another huge bonus was a beautiful secluded beach was walking distance, as was Cowes shops and restaurants. Lady on reception was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area, all in all would definitely stay again.

    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.

    Room was surprisingly good because the amount we paid for it was quite ideal. Had a balcony (view wasn't of the beach but it was a bonus). Tv was a decent size and connected to the wifi for subscription streaming. Mini fridge was good. The spa bath was amazing that we used it both nights! Walk to the beach was 60 seconds.. 60 seconds. Close to the main strip of Cowes by foot. We'll be back.

    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.

    Good location in a quiet street. Less than 5 mins drive to the beach and to the Cowes town centre. The house was big, enough to fit 2 families. 3 bathrooms, 3 toilets, and a separate laundry room. Spacious living area, front, and backyard. Parking can fit 2 to 4 cars. Dog friendly property. Stocked with games and a games room with a pool table and foosball 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.

    Great to stay in Phillip Island with the family. Very close to the main strip in Cowes and a short drive from everything in the island. The spa is a plus and the covered garage was very close to the lifts. Great communication with the host, would recommend it.

    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
