This was perfect for what we wanted, a place to stay while visiting the penguin parade. It was clean, the beds were comfortable and the shower had a great pressure. The hosts were friendly.

The house was very well appointed with large rooms, very comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. I only regret being unable to stay longer to take advantage of the amenities.

    Great central spot for our visit to Philip Island...

    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 location is private and secluded. Great natural light in the lounge room, with a beautiful breeze flowing through when balcony doors are opened. The decor was fresh. The home was incredibly clean! I wasn't aware The Block Auction weekend was on at Cowes. We walked past to look at the house boards and Mimi popped out to say G'day. A wonderful surprise! Exceptional owners. They are extremely efficient and very easy to deal with. A+ in our books 👏

    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.

    The place was clean. Beds are very comfortable. Staff was very friendly and very helpful. The cottage looks much better than the photos on their website. It was bright and full of natural lights. The location was quiet and yet very close to Cowes city centre. All in all, we had beautiful stay at Woodbyn Resort. Will definitely stay there again next time we visit Phillip Island.
