    Great central spot for our visit to Philip Island attractions - Penguin Parade, Nobbies, Vietnam Vets Museum ... all great places to spend some time. As well as visiting some lovely places to eat! Didn't make it to the Markets ... maybe next time!

    The penguins were an essential visit and didn’t disappoint.

    The penguins were an essential visit and didn’t disappoint. Lots of wildlife to see. Local venues had live music and the food was wonderful. Only draw back is Cowes seems to shut down after 10pm, so need your own entertainment after that, we just listened to the ocean and relaxed.

    Cowes is a lovely shore side town on Phillip Island.

    Cowes is a lovely shore side town on Phillip Island. It is at the far end of the island from the bridge to cross over to the island. The town is well equipped with all softs of shops, and is a good spot to use as a base to travel around the island and experience all the sights that are available.

    Cowes is a cool climate beach and water.

    Cowes is a cool climate beach and water. If you cannot afford cost or time to get warmer water, enjoy what is affordable at Cowes. If you want extras, try half-hour drive to San Remo pub, or one hour to Wonthaggi.

    We did a mosaics class at Mosaics by the Bay, located in Ventnor. I've been to Cowes a few times and the shopping and restaurants are very good. The beach is really nice. It is very easy to get around. It can be very busy during peak seasons. There are the penguin parade, whale watching certain times of the year, adventure parks, mini golf at Grumpy's. There is a lot to do for couples as well as families.

    A very picturesque place.

    A very picturesque place. The Vietnam Veterans Museum was great. The Penguin Parade was also good, albeit the little critters didn't want to play the game the night we were there. The local RSL was also very good and had some great meals.

    The size of the villa was perfect. Great to experience staying in a mini house rather than the usual hotel. Just like a house there were was living space, kitchenette and bedrooms. The ample space and all the windows in the villa made the staying here very so comfortable and very refreshing. Villa looked like it were recently renovated as the place was in very good condition. Everything was tidy and organised.

    We found Owl House to exceed our expectations. The house is equipped with everything you could need - plenty of kitchenware and we loved the big plushy towels. Having the front and back patios and big yard made it easy to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and weather. The house is spacious and was extremely clean! We will recommend this property to others visiting Cowes and stay again if we return. Thank you!
