Guest Reviews

• Nudelman (7/5): Quiet and convenient location. Comfortable for single/two people. - It was clean and bed comfortable, very quiet area. The bean bag was very comfortable to relax on. The accommodation had everything you need for self catering requirements. The host was responsive throughout the booking/arrival process. Overall good accommodation for a night or two. Thank you! The ensuite toilet hadn’t been flushed after someone had used it prior to my arrival. There was only a little bit of toilet paper in the ensuite and no spare. Had to take the one out of the other bathroom, The spill tray on the coffee machine hadn’t been washed out and ended up all down the front of me. The dishwasher hadn’t been emptied, I discovered this when I couldn’t find any spoons to have my breakfast. Not huge issues but disappointing for the price of the accommodation…
• Puck (10/5): -
• Melvyn (9/5): Comfortable holiday home for a family. - Modern facilities, very clean, well presented. Could have done with a coffee table in lounge.
• Jill (10/5): Fantastic find - Lovely comfortable and clean - like a home away from home. That we could only stay one night. It would have been good to enjoy the place for longer and explore the area.
• Erin (10/5): Excellent stay - Exactly as described, clean, clear and fast communication. Nothing
• LEIYING (9/5): - 屋子很棒，週邊生活機能佳，開車5-10分鐘內用餐採買都方便，但打掃清潔需要再加強，且毛巾實在太舊了
• Jan (10/5): -
• Clair (9/5): -
• Chiara (10/5): Cosy and convenient - Very cute house which had more amenities than expected. We were on a road trip when we booked it and it was a really good place to just relax and recharge even if it was for just a night. Nice and safe enclosed area to park your car.
• Sandra (9/5): Great. Had everything we needed. Home away from home. Would definitely stay again. -
• Luke (9/5): -
• Renee (10/5): -
• Yanyan (9/5): -
• Tilbrook (8/5): Wonderful place to stay. - The layout of the room. The amenities provided are very extensive (washing maching, dryer, dish washer, normal size fridge, coffee machine), which makes our stay a lot more convenient. The accommodation is very clean. The host was very helpful when we forgot our medication at her place. No privacy curton, no screen door on the main door to allow air flow. One of the windows with the screen door was stuck,. No laudry powder provided.
• Krisie (10/5): Awesome stay. - Everything was there. We didn’t have to worry about anything.
• kan (10/5): - 非常干净，设施都很新。房间里还提供暖风机和入住小零食，带有咖啡机 没有，都很满意
• Rob (10/5): - Great location, very clean and bright. The kitchen was very well equipped. Host Amy was very helpful and friendly.
• Kirsty (9/5): - The property was great, very clean and tidy. Lots of cutlery, plates etc. Beds were very comfortable and the place was very quiet, which was great. Nothing
• Yip (9/5): Great stay. - Clean. Comfortable and very cozy. The heaters weren’t really working in the living.. Kids were freezing
• Maninder (10/5): Perfect - Everything, especially coffee machine and almond milk availability Nothing
• Emmi (10/5): Welcoming family holiday house. - Quiet location, the family feel and the welcome goodies (thank you!) . Couldn't convince anyone to play football out the back though! The burgers from the General Store were a great meal. No complaints, all was as or above what we expected.
• Nabeel (10/5): - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Waves and Whispers. The house and the vibe was very cosy. Amy and Rod had ensured all the amenities are present in the house which made our stay all the more comfortable. Not to forget the little welcome hamper! Right from the kitchen items to the cosy beds and heaters - the property was just perfect! PS - my son had a hearty time kicking some goals in the backyard.
• HUI WEN (10/5): Perfect stay in Philip Island - We had a fantastic stay at this spacious and spotless holiday home, just a short drive from the Penguin Parade. The house was very clean and well-equipped, with a full kitchen that made cooking easy and convenient. The heater kept the home warm and comfortable throughout our stay. Another big plus was the location — it's close to grocery stores and other local shops, which made it easy to grab essentials. A great choice for families or groups wanting a comfortable and convenient base to explore Phillip Island. Highly recommended! Nothing
• Q (10/5): -
• Anniei (10/5): Great property and very comfortable. Host Amy was so helpful and responsive - The host was fantastic and very responsive. I had great difficulties downloading the instructions on my iPhone but host responded quickly and provided detials on how to access key. It was great - maybe a light in the 2nd bedroom to read by
• Dee (10/5): - We loved our stay at Waves & Whispers! Amy was so helpful and friendly and was always quick to respond to messages. The house has everything you could need, is super-clean and is nicely decorated. We definitely recommend Waves and Whispers! Nothing
• Jean Francois (10/5): Super logement à Phillip Island - Tout. C'était parfait. Une vraie maison avec un jardin sur Phillip Island. Un super panier d accueil. Très bien équipée. Grandes pièces. Des radiateurs électriques. 2 salles de bain. Lave vaisselle, machine à laver, sèche linge ... Rien
• Dinah (10/5): Loved the place. - Sun coming in the front windows. Nice deck to sit out on. Decor bright and airy, modern and comfortable. Very well equipped.
• Julie (9/5): Superb - Beautiful
• Allen (8/5): Very good - Property is easily accessed quiet location.All facilities well maintained, cooking equipment covers all possible needs. Owner adjusted our booking quickly and communicated well
• Darcy (9/5): A fantastic clean and inviting place to stay! - Loved the size of the block, the big sun filled deck, the little goodies left by the host Amy, and how clean it was. Everything was great! If I had to nitpick, the couch wasn’t the comfiest and could have been bigger for the space. But still very keen!
• Michael (9/5): Superb -
• Wendy (9/5): Lovely home, great for family or friends. - It had everything needed for our stay. And the little extras like phone chargers and some little treats. N/A
• Rachel (10/5): Exceptional - great location, good sized unit for 4 adults, loved the board games supplied!!
• Charmaine (10/5): Cosy home. - Cosy home for family. Nice neighbour. Thanks, Amy for turning on the house light for us as we were arriving late. Super clean. Good rest for us after long day of travelling. Near Penguin Parade. A few min drive to woolworth. Excellent stay.
• Georgia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Matilda (10/5): Very relaxing cosy stay - The host was lovely and had left out a beautiful array of snacks for us which was such a lovely touch! The house was super cosy and it was great that we could shut the front gate so my dog could go outside off lead. We loved everything only thing that could have been slightly better was olive oil but then again we don’t expect food to be provided.
• Alpa (10/5): Exceptional - The place was exceptionally clean and well decorated.
• Divyangani (10/5): Absolutely Immaculate - The property was absolutely beautiful, very clean and tidy. Also very aesthetically pleasing. Every small detail was taken care of, not exaggerating!!! You literally just have to bring a bag of clothes here, rest EVERYTHING was taken care of!
• Renee (10/5): A lovely house that was very comfortable and quiet for our stay. Looking forward to booking again. - Very comfortable and appreciated the two bathrooms. Two teens were comfortable as the bunk beds were bigger and more comfortable than expected. We had trouble with the internet, but it wasn't an issue for the one night to use our data, so we didn't bother contacting the hosts to sort it out. We could connect to the wifi but there was no internet.
• Ashleigh (10/5): Exceptional - Great dog friendly yard. Nice and clean property.
• Donna (9/5): Superb - We had a lovely stay with our Kelpie, Jasper. The property was fully fenced for our Kelpie to roam around. The Decor was very nice, light and bright. The bedrooms were warm and cosy, too. Good water pressure and hot showers. Loved the yummy treats on arrival to enjoy during our stay. Couldn't see the house number on arrival. Need a new letter box with big numbers on it.
• Verity1 (9/5): Superb -
• Echo (10/5): Exceptional - It was excellent. The place is very lovely and cozy. The welcome package is very thoughtful which includes a pancake mix and a bottle of champagne.
• Loove (10/5): Exceptional - The accommodation was a lot bigger than it appeared in the photos. It was well decorated and had absolutely everything that we needed. Great peaceful location and not too far from anywhere Should have booked a few more days
• Diana (10/5): Five star accommodation. Would definitely recommend - Extremely clean comfortable accommodation. No ramps for mobility walkers, but managed.
• Jia (10/5): Excellent experience in this house. - Quiet and comfortable. It would be the prefect if the house were by the sea or beach.
• Gary (9/5): Superb - Ideal and very classic Phillip Island beach house - good location, beautifully presented and spotless with everything you need for a weekend away.
• Heather (8/5): It was a nice clean house, in a nice quiet location. - A nice clean house in a quiet location with comfortable beds and good facilities. Unfortunately there was no flat sheet on the double bed which I struggle to sleep without. It would be better to have one that guests can remove if they don't want it, rather than not having one available. Just a couple of suggestions - a small bedside table next to double bed would be nice, having the power board on an extension lead under the bed to make it more accessible, and having a box of tissues in the house would all make it just a little bit more guest friendly :).
• Hill (9/5): I wrote a review a few days ago and selected a wrong option but couldn’t get back in to edit.submitting a new review tha - Just what we needed for our trip. Close and convenient
• Mike (10/5): Exceptional -
• Oaten (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jemma (10/5): Beautiful house, perfect for the 4 of us. We loved the cute little welcome package, it was a nice addition. well maintai - Well kept, kid friendly and just a beautiful vibe to it.
• Louise (8/5): Very good -
• Ed (8/5): We had a comfortable stay in a very nicely presented house. - Loved the cleanliness and the freshness of the place. The ikea furniture was great. There was only a 2 seater sofa. It needed more seating for the lounge room. It had bean bags but all of us have back issues so we could not really use the bean bags.
• Tory (10/5): Great house to stay that had everything we needed. So quiet and peaceful. - The house was great and clean. So nice and quiet.
• Glenn (10/5): Would definitely recommend and will be back again. - Very comfortable and very cosy, great if you have a young family. Found one of the plastic plates with mould on it, suspect from previous guest not cleaning up after themselves properly.
• Shweta (9/5): Superb -
• Cheryl (9/5): Very happy with the accomodation & would definitely recommend it. - Location was good. Within easy distance to the penguin parade & the esplanade. Had a problem with the sliding door to the ensuite & couldn’t find the guide book. But managed to work things out.
