The owners were very fast in responding and did try and get someone out to fix it but being a weekend its not always easy..

Amenities in the apartment
Communication with the host was superb and helpful Slow exhaust fan in bathroom which was not drying the floor
Ran out of hot water during showers once
Washing machine in shared laundry was out of service in the building
- Peter (9/5): Superb -
- Warren (9/5): Superb -

- Eva (8/5): Very good, would stay there again. - Breakfast not available.
Location of the property is excellent: opposite the beach and within short walking distance of main street shops and great restaurants.
A very friendly and helpful host! The apartments consist of two rooms, which can be divided by a sliding door: Room 1 with two single beds and with kitchen facilities, Room 2 with queen bed and sitting area, access to bathroom and balcony. We had not been aware of this, expecting 2 bedrooms separate from living areas. However, we got used to it and the location compensated for the initial disappointment. Our host was also very understanding.
- Hunter (10/5): Exceptional - The view was fabulous.
- Michael (10/5): Overall happy with the experience, great accommodation, just very poor tour operator. - The local tour they went on to visit a winery and the penguins was very poor and wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I know this is not part of your business but it reflects badly on the tourism for the region.
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alan (10/5): Very relaxing - Location was perfect All good
- Panagiotis (8/5): Very good -
- Helen (9/5): Superb - Views are very good. Location is excellent with beach opposite that's good for shallow swimming. There are patrolled beaches nearby. Restaurants, shops and hotels are close to the long Pier.
- Melinda (10/5): A great apartment in the perfect location. - The apartment was clean, spacious and had a balcony overlooking the Esplanade. The location was fabulous.
- Jenny (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely view The car park was a bit awkward for our family car
- Zeinab (9/5): Superb -
- Wayne (8/5): Very good -
- Erin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fai (10/5): My husband and I had a wonderful stay and will be returning!! - Awesome views, great location, opposite beach and 2 min walk to all restaurants
Welcomed with a bottle of complimentary wine and fantastic accommodation.
- Mcdonald (7/5): Great location and quite comfortable but seriously needs ongoing maintenance. - Close proximity to the beach.
Great view.
Close to CBD.
Well equipped apartment. We are not usually a family that has a lot to complain about but there seems to be a bit of maintenance to be done in these apartments. There were no towel rails to hang towels in the bathroom. Bathroom exhaust fan was not working. Black towels are not ideal as they left black fluff everywhere. No top sheets on single beds. Bathroom sink plug would not seal properly to hold water. Fire equipment is out of date. Empty hand wash container in the bathroom. Not sufficient toilet paper for a family for four days. The laundry is not user friendly and seriously needs upgrading. There needs to be somebody In reception for at least part of the day as we couldn’t find anyone to help us out.
- Ahmed (9/5): Memorable and beautiful, will definitely come again. - Neat and clean , location and access was amazing. Furniture was good quality and nicely laid out, very well presented. Nothing really. Probably active ventilation or some kind of odor management in the washroom would've been nicer. Passive vents worked though.
Would have liked the ability to lock the divider of the rooms.
- Jennifer (8/5): Great location. Walk to town and beach. First visit to Phillip Island. Would highly recommend. - Location. Please try of room. Communication with staff was great. Internet was terrible. Housekeeping - found coin and chocolate under lounge.
- Maureen (9/5): Superb -
- Peter (7/5): Good -
- John (9/5): Great place to stay, very clean, handy to amenities and beach - Convenience to all amenities and beach
Clean apartment, easy check in Nearby pub food was very average
- Matt (8/5): Very good - Great view
- Visar (9/5): Good location and the apartment was clean -
- Maher (8/5): Very good -
- Andrijana (5/5): Look elsewhere - Location and view. Uncomfortable beds. Furniture was old and dated.
This absolutely stunning location deserves to be displayed as such. I hope the owners take this feedback on board and make necessary improvements on this property.
- James (8/5): Very good -
- Michelle (7/5): Good -
- Helen (1/5): Will never stay there again ! - Only The View ! We don’t know where to start with this question! the fact that couldn’t shower due to the lack of hygiene,the dirty dishes in the cupboards, only half a toilet roll between 4 adults, the 2 bedrooms were non existent, one in the kitchen area the other in the lounge area therefore it’s a hotel room not an apartment ! Lack of supplies in all areas! No face washers or hand towels The worst place we have ever stayed in! Total rip off ! Total let down !
- Samantha (10/5): Very nice and spacious unit in excellent location in Cowes . - Great Location with a great view of the water
Was very quiet and laid back
Very close to the main street in Cowes , so was close to restaurants , bars and shops
Added bonus of underneath car park Nothing .
- Melissa (8/5): Relaxing and wonderful vacation. - Lovely apartment in a beautiful location to beach and local shops. Property owners were great. Very comfortable beds and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
- Beck (8/5): Lovley view and location - Excellent location, great view. Easy with no checking in. Lots of space. Wasn't as clean as I like. But wasn't bad either.
- Elaine (10/5): Travelling with a toddler, perfect location and child safe unit - Location was great, easy access to town but far enough away out of the main street. Nice quiet building. Love the keyless entry, means you don't have to take keys with you and you can't lose them. Left a pair of earrings and hosts made every effort to have them posted back.
- Azra (7/5): Good -
- Marian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rebeka (9/5): Beautiful location for all. - Great location with great views of the bay. Great little kitchen with everything you need to get you through your stay. The beds were so comfortable it was hard to get up. The underground secured parking and lift were amazing too. No bed side tables or lamp next to single bed/beds. I understand the room is tight but it’s hard to charge anything, read, have a travel fan, drink or anything next to you when it had to go on the floor. I ended up using a kitchen chair.
- Murray (10/5): Very well positioned property in the beautiful town of Cowes. - Clean, spacious and with great views. Nothing
- Sharren (8/5): Great restful stay with a good position. - The position The shower is very small and could do with a new shower head . Was noisy, but not all the time.
- Snezana (9/5): Superb -
- Larsen (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic little family apartment overlooking the water.
Owners were nothing fabulously accommodating and exceptional people. Loved it all.
- Angela (10/5): Very relaxing comfortable apartment, thanks George everything was as described. - Amazing views and right opposite the beach
- Phoebe (7/5): Enjoyable - Location was great, most places within walking distance. The balcony in the apartment was right opposite the beach with a nice view of surrounds Value for money, in the booking it stated the apartment would have 2 bedrooms to which i interpreted as seperate rooms and made it difficult especially with a child being no closed off space once gone to bed to have to also go to sleep or sit outside on the balcony.
- Duncan (8/5): The property was clean, well located, and with almost all of the features anyone would require -
- Gail (7/5): This “apartment” would have been great if it really had 2 bedrooms not 2 single beds in the kitchen dining area. - The position was great It was advertised as 2 bedrooms and it wasn’t. 2 single beds were in the kitchen eating area. The “fan” in the bathroom didn’t have an on switch and didn’t seem to work to take away smells and steam. The bathroom didn’t have a window for this either.
- Max (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gregory (7/5): Good -
- Kylie (10/5): Excellent. George & Roula were fantastic, and we will definitely be staying again. Thanks so much - Used a door code
- Jacquie (9/5): Lovely relaxing get away with a wonderful room with great views. - The apartment was roomy albeit the design a little odd. Easy access to bins, lifts etc. The balcony was a great place to sit and have a pre-dinner beverage. The kitchenette was a little dark and out of the way but great sized fridge. The shower was big enough but water sprayed out everywhere as you got in leaving the floor very slippery, potentially a hazard. The fan also didn't seem to operate so left the bathroom a little stuffy and mildewy.
- Josie (9/5): Superb -
- Megan (9/5): Superb - Great location ver comfortable
- Krystelle (9/5): Overall great stay, great views would definitely book here again ! - Spacious. Had a kitchen with fridge and all your basic needs like pans plates cups etc. bed was super comfy. Hosts were friendly. Great sea views. Spa bath was nice The only only thing was the bathroom does get pretty wet on the floor tiles. Nothing you can’t clean up but does get wet
- Elisa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Casey (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing view, beautiful room
- davood (6/5): - It was ok
- Ian (8/5): Very good -
- Danny (9/5): Superb -
- Quoc (6/5): Great location overlooking the water with easy access to the main strip for good and drinks. - Great location overlooking the waters and close to the main strip. Walkable to food, coffee and ice cream :) Secure underground parking allowed us to park our bikes while we head off for the day.
Nice complementary bottle of wine as well. The property needs some TLC. The blinds near the front door needs fixing as they did not close properly, allowing people from outside to see inside the apartment, especially where my kids were sleeping. The bathroom shower head needs to be replaced so it doesnt spay so wide and the shower door needs a door stop to block the gap so water doesnt go everywhere.
Receiving the code to the door a couple minutes before check in made us nervous as the last thing you want to do is to be stressing, especially with young kids.
- Bruce (9/5): Superb -
- Geoffrey (8/5): Room was excellent just the pillows and need a smart TV apart from that excellent location wish we c - Pillows and really need a smart TV
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- James (6/5): Pleasant -
- Dikesh (7/5): Great retreat - Location. The apartment was also spacious and the spa was great! Finer details in cleaniness. The fridge trays were not clean, the towels and bedding had a bad smell (checked with owners and looks like not washed properly).
- Chris (8/5): Very good -
- Wayne (9/5): Superb -
- Dianne (10/5): Excellent location - Location was excellent. Check in was seamless. Although we were only advised the details a few minutes before 2pm via text. Big spa bath....small shower
Everything else was great. The provided tea and milk was a good start to our stay. Needed it after our long drive.
- Brendan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Candice (10/5): I can't wait to come back! - George and Roula were exceptional in having the property organised for our arrival.
It was a very easy process to enter the car park and the hotel room. Roula even called us to welcome us and ensure we had everything we needed which was beyond my expectation. The only thing I could think of improving was internet speed, however it was still useable. We only used it at night once in for the evening and found it slow at times with lag but it was still great to have the access.
- Anonymous (9/5): A great short stay. Would definitely recommend and come back. - Fabulous location. Room 244 on 2nd floor - great beach view, nice size room, very comfortable double bed Being a cold weekend I couldn’t work out heater?? The teabags provided were tampered with
- Beata (8/5): Very good -
- Tony (8/5): great location and close to beach with safe car parking on site. - location. Seaview balcony. no tea towel. no bottle opener. no kitchen basic scissors and pillows need to be replaced.
