    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

    Comfortable clean property, quiet location but close to shops, cafes, Cowes jetty. We only used the kitchen for breakfast, snacks etc but it looked well fitted out in terms of cooking utensils etc . Nice big outdoor balcony with distant water views, hopefully shade sails will be fitted before summer. Upstairs living gives some lovely water views ( but you need to like going up and down stairs - which we decided that we didn't!) Good storage and space. Great to have a house not cluttered with ornaments and knick knacks.

    Brilliant for families, basic room had stove, kettle, toaster, teatowels, dining table and chairs, sofa, electric blankets (lovely!) and BEST thing - a powerful shower! We had room 3, directly outside was a bbq and seating, down the way a pool and playground for younger kids. Another huge bonus was a beautiful secluded beach was walking distance, as was Cowes shops and restaurants. Lady on reception was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area, all in all would definitely stay again.

    It was great that you had all bedding, towels and amenities including all the barbecue amenities. Made life a lot easier not having to drag all those items with us.. The living arrangements were very good. The house was clean and beds very comfortable. Would definitely stay again. Was also great for our 4 legged kids who enjoyed their time immensely. The accommodation was perfect for families with kids, i.e. the 2 kids loved the granny flat at the back.

    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.

    The house was amazing. Plenty of room and spacious. The little touches such as washing powder and shampoo etc were great. The house was clean and only a 2 minute drive from Cowes where lots of shops and facilities are. We would definately return

    The hotel was close to the beach. It was great to be able to walk across the road for a swim & it was close for viewing the fireworks on NYE. We were able to walk to the shops & restaurants. It was very pleasant to go for a stroll in Cowes.
