    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

    Fantastic location, very short walk to Coles, Aldi , the main street of Cowes and easily walkable to the beach. Heaps of cafes, vintage shops and restaurants nearby. Cottage was perfect for 3, including comfy couch. Smart TV was very welcome. Kitchen doesn't have oven, but the electric frypan, microwave and hotplate meant we could do great self catering. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment and a good teabag/coffee bag/sugar starter kit. We appreciated decent stock of toilet paper, dishwashing detergent and 2 good tea towels.

    This is a terrific property in a great location. The location to the beach, which was also dog-friendly, was excellent, and we had many a late afternoon walk to take in the sunset which was spectacular. Also an easy 20-30 minute walk into Cowes along the beach or a 2 minute drive. The house has heaps of room for our family of 6 to spread out, with very well appointed kitchen with plenty of cups plates etc and good appliances. Plus there's a great enclosed yard for the dog.

    We stayed in the boat house apartment at Oaktree lodge for three nights. Every little detail was thought of including everything you need for breakfast. Sue the owner even provided a little bed for my son. The decorations and cosy atmosphere were heavenly. So relaxing and comfortable and close to Cowes and all attractions. With quiet garden and sea views. This is perfect for a romantic weekend as a couple or a family of three get away. Highly recommend this place!!! Sara

    Cowes is the place to stay on Phillip Island, and Captain's Nook is walking distance to the centre of town for shops, cafes and restaurants. Birdlife and wildlife are excellent in the vicinity, Penguin Parade not to be missed (and worth paying for premier seats) Captains Nook is very well set up, perfect for up to 5 people. Very comfortable bed, lovely spa bath, 2 lounge areas.

    It was in a perfect location. View was amazing. Cafe next door for breakfast. After travelling around Phillip Island we were very pleased that we had picked CScape and Cowes as everything was on hand for a wonderful weekend which was for our Ruby wedding anniversary. Lots of different restaurants were just a few minutes walk. Thoroughly recommended. Thank you.

    The accommodation was better than expected. It was so peaceful and calming. It was a quick drive from the main strip in Cowes and a longer walk, which we didn't attempt. Beautiful accommodation. Very spacious. Beautiful views. Hotel quality bed. Spa bath. Would definitely rebook if returning to Philip Island.

    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.
