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
Upon arrival Eve was lovey and helpful in introducing us to our room and what was on offer in Phillip Island.
The hotel itself was super clean and everything was comfortable and smelt lovely.
Myself and my partner had a fantastic stay here even just for one night. The bed and lounge area were lovely and the balcony was an added bonus with a nice view.
My partner particularly loved how clean it was and the heating in the bathroom.
Beautiful home with lovely views, very close to Penguin Parade and in a safe quiet complex.
The apartment was pristine. The bed/linens super comfy.
The place is spacious, the views make you feel like you have the island to yourself.
We went to Melbourne after Phillips Island and stayed at a 5-star hotel, which felt like a hole-in-the-wall in comparison with the Hilltop apartments.
Thank you Eve and Chris for a wonderful stay!
Located in the heart of Cowes, this accommodation is walking distance to the main street, shopping, and the beachfront. The rooms were spaciously furnished with a great deal of amenities covering all our needs. The beds were comfortable, and the décor was magnificent and very child-friendly (including a baby gate at the top of the stairs). It is a perfect place for our Phillip Island getaway.
Our self contained cabin was lovely and it was so clean and tidy. The kitchen/dining area was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The beds were clean and also very comfortable. The location was excellent right on the beach and only a minute or two from Cowes. Staff were so welcoming and friendly. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely stay again!
The inn was easy to find and a good base for exploring Philip Island. The room was as described and had everything we needed.
It’s a little bit of a walk to the shops and restaurants in Cowes but it’s along the seafront most of the way which was lovely. We loved Philip island!
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.
Even though we didn't do any cooking, there was a very nicely stocked kitchen. The heater worked well and took the chill out quickly upon arrival on a chilly day. Nice place to stay and if we come back to Phillip Island, would stay again.
The house was beautiful, comfortable and a great location. Plenty of room, lots of games, nice comfy beds and so much more. Very hospitable host. Our experience was excellent and we would definitely go back again. Thank you.
Very spacious house in a very quiet street, super close to Coles and the town. House was beautifully decorated. It has everything we needed. :) Washing machine & dryer were so helpful.
Fantastic family accomodation. Lovely, clean and comfortable accommodation. Lovely pool and outdoor games area. Only a few minutes drive to the centre of Cowes. Highly recommend.
It was nice to be closer with nature and animals. The room was very nice and clean. My kids enjoyed facilities (playground, kart...) in hotel. The restaurant food was alao nice.
Location was great for us, close to other family at Silverleaves and the golf course. Lovely quiet area, far enough away from the hustle and bustle of central Cowes.
The location was second to none. The hostess/owner was delightful and the house and gardens were beautiful. All in all a very lovely couple of days spent in Cowes.
The staff were very friendly and happy to help with anything. There were plenty of things for our children to do in the holiday park which made them very happy.
