    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.

    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.

    meters to the beach, family friendly, updated cabins, comfortable, stroll into town on the beach or 2 min drive in. I solo travel a lot, and rather than stay in an apartment I stay at the caravan park ! It gives me the opportunity to meet new people and still have my own space! Find a spot in the beach and disappear into a good book!

    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.

    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.

    The cabin was very comfortable with everything we needed. Proximity to the beach was excellent and very close to the main area of Cowes. We wanted somewhere to stay that was close to the penguin facility and this was ideal, only 10 minutes away.
