    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

    The home was extremely spacious with 3 living zones, one we used with the fold-out sofa as an extra bedroom. Eating outside in the fully enclosed sunroom meant no dramas when the kids dropped food. Air con was more than sufficient in cooling the home. The home was immaculately clean and the kitchen was well appointed. Only minutes from Cowes town centre and all the local attractions of Phillip Island. There was a fully secured garage and lush lawn in the back yard...the kids had so much room to play.

    Quite large and spacious - would suit a large-ish group. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms nicely appointed and the couch was quite comfortable. We arrived during a day-long power outage so there was no electricity until about 1 the next morning - luckily the host had phoned us to advise that the power was out in the whole town so we got dinner on the way. The location would be walking distance to Cowes centre in summer but not so much on a cold and windy winter weekend.

    The house is very spacious with heaps of space for relaxing both inside and out. Main bedroom is upstairs with the others down, for a little separation from the 6yr old who followed us. 10min walk to the boat ramp, pulling a kayak and 6yr old. 5min if just you. 2min drive to the main strip of Cowes, so close enough but far enough to not hear anything at night. Definitely walking distance after a few pints if that’s your jam.

    The three bedroom villa was located in the grounds of the Ramada Resort and guests at Resort Haven were able to use the resort's excellent facilities including pools, spas, gymnasiums and games room, etc. We also enjoyed the two verandas (one of which included a small BBQ.) The location was excellent. It was close to Cowes but in a lovely, quiet area. It was also central to other parts of Phillip Island.

    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.

    The location is right in Cowes. We were delayed and we were advised the reception area would be closed by the time we arrived. The reservations person sent us details on how to obtain our room key which was so simple. The stay was just for one night, Phillip Island offers so much to see and now we will have to come back and of course, we will be staying at the North Pier Hotel.

    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.

    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 room was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Set in a peaceful neighborhood it was still only a short walk to the shops and eateries of Cowes. One thing that stood out on this trip to Phillip Island was how friendly the people we encountered were, from shopkeepers, locals to the other daytrippers.

    Welcoming, clean and comfortable. Glen Isla House is close to Cowes and a great location for all of the Phillip Island Wildlife including the Penguin Parade. It also has direct beach access. The owners were lovely and breakfast delicious.
