Guest Reviews

• Samantha (10/5): Loads of space with all the facilities you need for multiple families - Property was clean with a relaxed family welcoming vibe Old cubby in backyard was broken in parts which my kids were disappointed about but they all loved the toys and board games inside
• Olan (10/5): Relaxed, comfortable, awesome - We didn't have the code initially but we able to get in touch with the owner. Not having access when we arrived was a little frustrating
• FIONA (8/5): Very much loved our stay and happy to do it again sometime - Private, and very well organised The beds could have been a little more comfortable, wifi would have been nice
• Victoria (8/5): Really enjoyed the stay, hosts were very accommodating - Location was great, property suited our needs as a fairly large family group The oven was only good for one thing at a time. If you used two shelves the lower one wouldn’t cook well at all.
• Natalie (8/5): - Close to beach. Lots of space. Great price, very affordable.
• Carole (7/5): -
• Katherine (8/5): Well appointed home away from home - Location is fantastic, close to beach and local shops. Great value and host is loverly. Pantry well stocked, cupboards well stocked, you get the home away from home feel. No dishwasher, but everything else was exactly what you need in a holiday home.
• Tarnya (9/5): - Very quiet well communicated Beds were a bit hard but apart from that perfect
• Katherine (9/5): Wonderful holiday home, great location and host. - Great location, spacious and great communication with the host. Pantry well stocked with basics and appliances, great board games and dvd selection. Had everything we needed. The second floor stair access and then once inside half a flight of stairs down to bedrooms was a bit much for my older mother. Beds were firm- some like this - some don’t.

• Murial (10/5): -
• Milan (10/5): -
• Yun-hui (7/5): - The place is huge, good for big group. Bed is way too soft, and causing back ache for me and my partner. However on the first night we arrive, it was so cold. The property only has a split system in the living room and 1 small portable heater in 1 bedroom. The other 2 bedroom do not have any heater and the rooms were freezing.
• Joann (10/5): Excellent home away from home! Loved it! - Fantastic property with everything you would need for a little getaway. Nice and neat with plenty of room for everyone. We loved our stay!
• Salvatore (10/5): -
• yasuko (10/5): - とても広くて綺麗なビーチハウスでした！焚き火と暖炉のあるところを捜して決めましたが、大正解でした！wifiはありませんでしたが、いろんなアナログのゲームが置いてあり、私たちはUNOを楽しみました。 キッチン用品、調味料もたくさんそろっていてほぼ困りませんでした。。 ベッドも快適でしたが、冬だったので、使ってないベッドの布団を重ねて使いました。 とても快適な思い出深い旅行となりました！ありがとうございました。 ・コーヒーマシーンの使い方がわかりませんでした。 ・外にあるツリーハウスは上れましたが、修理が必要なところがありました。
• Glenn (8/5): -
• Joanna (9/5): -
• Lisa (9/5): Amazing family home - The house was so clean and very comfortable and it was a great walk along the beach into town I would highly recommend getting wifi in the home
• Debbie (9/5): hidden gem, great house in a quiet street. Clean and tidy. - great location, not far from the beach and main shopping and restaurants. all was great
• Cathie (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay would stay again - Great location plenty of room Needs dryer and potato masher better Donna’s on bunks had no firewood
• Susan (7/5): We had a beautiful weekend away celebrating a family birthday. The house was great for a family, in a fantastic location - Location easy walk to beac and town fire place was lovely lounge very comfy and cosy Plenty of heating Beds were hard- need a soft pillow or eggshell mattress on top.
• Monica (9/5): Superb - It was great for our group
• Sharni (9/5): Great!! Will be back - We liked that my teenage daughter had the whole downstairs to herself, the dogs loved the backyard. Had games we could play & everything we needed. We couldn’t light the fire as there was no wood, the bed upstairs was so firm we didn’t get much sleep.. especially being pregnant it was quite uncomfortable.
• Gareth (9/5): Great location. - Great house, fantastic location. It would have been nice for an 11am check out.
• Tim (8/5): Very good - Spacious home and great location
• Sandra (10/5): The house had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again. - Location was awesome. A short walk to the beach. House was spacious. Nothing
• Chris (7/5): Good - Perfect location Need maintenance especially the outside
• Michael (5/5): Passable -
• Anthony (7/5): Good - Cute little home, Has all that was needed. Quiet location Happy with most of it Beds not comfortable. Could do with a good spring clean
• Sieyin (8/5): Very good - The host was wonderful, very accommodating and gave great tips about the area. The house is big, good for big families and walking distance to the beach. Only a small thing, the pillows are very thin and clumpy, and some of the beds were missing sheets.
• John (8/5): A comfortable quiet place to stay for families or group. - Great location and space that suited our group very well. Had everything needed for a family/group. we enjoyed the separate spaces - kids upstairs, adults downstairs. Extra pantry stores provided - coffee, oil, salt pepper. Great coffee shops close by Ovens weren’t great - very, very slow to heat up. The house could have been a bit more sparkling clean in general, though it was very clean in the areas where it mattered most ie/ bedrooms bathrooms and kitchen.
• Joneses (10/5): Lovely home, great location, suitable for two families - The house was very comfortable for pur group of 4 adults and 4 teens (2 families). (Our kids were happy to share the bunk room, but taller children may not fit and may need to use the single beds). The bunk room is quite large for 4 kids. The house was very clean and well presented. While not new, it has been taken care of. Plenty of bathrooms for a large group is a bonus. The house is in a quiet street, just 5 mins walk from the beach/boat ramp with a lovely kiosk there, and a cafe at the end of the street. The closest supermarket is a quick drive away (1.5km), so everything is close enough but also far enough away to be quiet. We have stayed in lots of holiday homes where there is barely anything in the kitchen to use. THIS IS NOT THAT HOUSE. It was very well equipped kitchen, with pots, pans, cutlery, utensils, sharp knives, lots of bowls etc. The bbq was in good order, with a full gas bottle on the deck. It was so nice to not have to either bring everything or have to buy everything. There are books, DVDs, games and a table tennis set (including balls) for the kids, and the yard is fenced if you have young children/ pets. Our host was lovely to deal with, quick to respond to a message and very helpful. Her thoughtfulness made our last minute long weekend trip such an easy getaway. Tiny issue: There were three varieties of coffee pods for the coffee pod machine in the pantry, but I don't think any fit. We'd have loved a hint about which pods to purchase.
• Amer (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jason (9/5): Great location. Amazing value for money - House was big. Great for a large family. Well equipped, everything we needed was there. Location was good around 200m-300m walk from the beach. Property is fenced off properly, our dog loved it. Great value for money
• Wei (10/5): Exceptional -
• Josefina1. (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful and comfortable home, perfect to spend with family. We had an amazing weekend. Hosts very responsive on the chat
• Suvash (8/5): Very good - Location
• Denise (10/5): Will definitely go there again. - The location was fabulous, walking distance to the beach and a minute walk to the cafe. The apartment was spacious and perfect for the 5 of us with everything we needed, even had a HDMI cable to watch our movies from our laptop which was handy as we forgot to bring one.
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jess (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and much bigger in person. Had a great time. Will definitely stay here again.
• Leonora (7/5): Good -
• Ann (10/5): Fantastic stay for a fantastic price. - The house was fantastic. I was a bit concerned because the price seemed so low compared to others, but there were no worries. Could not have been happier. Everything was great. There was even toys for the grandkids to play with.
• Cara (10/5): Exceptional - Great house & location. About a 20 min walk into town & a nice little coffee shop within a minutes walk. Good value for money. Host was good at communicating check in process etc. We had little ones with us & there was a cubby house and slide in the backyard which they wanted to play on / would have loved- but it was very dirty & the slide was also cracked which was a shame!
• John (10/5): Worth It - It is really spacious and we are able to have a comfortable time. Enough beds for everyone and enough toilets as well. Pots and pans were provided which are really helpful. We didn't know that the other room is separated from the main one. Also, we cannot find the tea towels and hopefully more better pillows and blankets 😅 Also, not a biggie but the oven was a bit taking forever to heat up.
• Melanie (10/5): Exceptional - amazing location
• Amanda (10/5): Exceptional -
• Caitlin (10/5): Exceptional - We loved this dog friendly home! It is in such a wonderful location being close to a cafe, the beach, and the main street of Cowes. Having the bottom apartment and the top home was fantastic, as we could have more space. The home is huge and can sleep a lot of people. Its fantasticfor family getaways. All utilities worked well, and owners were great to deal with. We will definitely be back! The property is very dog friendly. However, if your dog is very little like ours, then some of the fencing isn't dog proof.
• Heather (10/5): Great place to stay for all the family - Location close to the beach and cafe Shops a short drive Clean and tidy We will be back
• Amanda (10/5): Beautiful home. Every thing you needed was there. Lots of little extras to make an amazing weekend. - Every thing was clean and comfortable. Log fire was amazing. No fire wood and down stairs was freezing. But we stilled loved it.
• Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional - Linen was provided..lots of equipment and a fireplace..gate was open and check in was straight forward Just minor things..washing machine not working.. not an issue really..some toilet lights downstairs not working
• Bonnici (8/5): Very good -
• Narelle (8/5): Very good -
• Joannaliz (7/5): Good - Everything our family needed is there. Some needs repair and replacing.
• Nigel (10/5): Exceptional - Well presented house with everything we needed. Short (ish) stroll to Cowes main street, and short walk to the beach. Great place to visit the penguins from.
• Stephen (10/5): Our stay was relaxing and comfortable. - Really liked that the location of the main shops and restaurants were in walking distance of the house. Liked the split between the house and ground floor appartment as it gives privacy if travelling in couples. Loved the bird life in the trees in the early morning while we had coffee on the deck. DVD players were also good to have the option to relax watching a movie at night.
• Bozhin (4/5): Disappointing - Nice location and the house with a lot of opportunities to be much better I will start with the furniture dirty old sofa not nice in kitchen all pots and cutlery old and rusty
• Kristen (8/5): Very good - was spacious and clean. also gave little pockets of privacy with the different areas of the house the noise travels a lot on the top floor
• Aoife (10/5): Homely, comfortable and great location - Everything. Location, comfort, property. One of the best properties we’ve stayed on Couldn’t fault it
• Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Murillo (9/5): Superb - the place is accommodating.. excellent location and complete accessories rooms don't have heaters except for master bedroom
• Ming (7/5): Good -
• Norman (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cheryl (6/5): Pleasant - Location was good. Handy café at end of road and easy walk to beach. The trees in drive away need cutting back, scratch along car as you go in and out.
• Kate (8/5): Lovely stay in a cosy home close to Cowes town & beach - Great house to accommodate our family of 5 for a last minute weekend away. Would easily suit 2 families too. We loved the location and sitting out the back by the outdoor fire pit. The beach is only minutes walk away and lovely coffee nearby at Mr Islas.
• Dhawa (10/5): Exceptional - The place is absolutely gorgeous and spacious, we were a party of 7 adults and 4 kids, and the experience was beautiful. The place is walking distance from the centre and the beach. Penguin parade was a short drive, we did a lot of hikes. The place has a fireplace and a bbq, we used both. Lots of game and movies provided by the host. Thank you.
• Tabitha (10/5): Exceptional - A great place, private, clean rooms were fantastic and very comfortable and loads for the kids to do. Cubby house was a bonus these kids loved thank you
• Victorson (7/5): A simple cozy home that fits in a budget for the family to have a good time at Phillip Island. - The house is cozy and comfortable & fits 2 families well. The owner is very attentive, helpful and responsive. Board games available was thoughtful for the kids. Separate apartment on ground floor provided privacy from the group. Some of the things were not prepared or given attention such as no gas for the bbq, fireplace and old crockery. The hot water ran out on the second night of our stay so some didn’t get to shower until the next morning.
• Shiralee (9/5): Amazing place for a family getaway, will definitely be back!!! - The house had so much space and was payed out so well, very cosy and clean and provided everything we needed to have an amazing family weekend getaway There wasn’t anything not to like!!!
• Helene (9/5): We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thanks. It met our needs. Will book again next time - Location was great. We struggled a bit with the lock on the gate, but did manage. Beds were made, enough doonas, pillows and towels. the separate self-contained apartment was very good. the bbq could have been cleaner, obviously previous visitor's responsibility.
• Tracy (10/5): fabulous place to stay easily fit 2 families - great house for families nothing
• Melissa (10/5): fabulous - enough room for everyone, the puppies did zoomies around the house ( it was funny to watch) playing monopoly x3 times snd fire boys made s’mores only issue was bed was hard , but I’ve just had hip surgery so that was it.
• Amy (7/5): Great meet up with my friend - Clean inside, some good board games and lots of beds. The outside needs some TLC. Very run down. The kids playhouse outside was dirty and some toys were mouldy. NEEDS WIFI.
• Anonymous (5/5): over all we had a good time, the owner is very easily to communicate with and excepting of our feedback - good layout of the house, great location the property was dirty on arrival both inside and out so needed to clean everything on arrival before use
• Minfei (8/5): Very good - Good location and price. Friendly landlord.
• Kerrie (5/5): Passable -
• Caron (7/5): A lovely family-oriented home & apartment - Homely, great location, very good kitchen amenities, very close to a wonderful beach. Excellent owner communication and flexibility. Great toys, games and activities. It's a lovely family-oriented home. The room description doesn't explain that the accommodation is split into two: an apartment on the ground floor (bedroom 4) and the main house. It changed the dynamic and comfort of the house, it split the family and made sleeping arrangements much harder to arrange. Also the single bed in the apartment is a portacot not a proper bed so I had to change which nights people stayed. Annoying and inconvenient for everyone and avoidable if the room description was more detailed. Bed mattresses were very hard and uncomfortable, with insufficient blankets, thin, flat pillows, and heaters. The tables, chairs and bbq outside were dirty. It's unavoidable but worth being aware of: The main bedroom ensuite is extremely narrow, only small, skinny people can use the bathroom comfortably.
• Tara (8/5): Very good - The location
• Zhi (7/5): Good - The place was big and has sufficient rooms to accomodate big groups or families. Not all rooms were equipped with heaters so it gets a little too cold in the night. The place was separated into 2 floors. There is a separate apartment on the ground floor with a living area and kitchenette. But most of the rooms were on the second floor which means we had to carry all the luggages up to the second floor. There were also a lot of ants seen in the apartment. Family with elderly will have an issue with going up and down the stairs.
• Joanne (10/5): wonderful stay. - wonderful propert, very quiet, very comfy, very private, plenty of space absolutely nothing to dislike
