Beachhouse on Cowes Foreshore
Unpretentious older house about a 5 min drive into Cowes. Private access to beach. Wallabies and birds came up to the back fence for a feed. Possums ate our Easter eggs in the backyard on Easter Sunday morning egg hunt! We loved Richard’s house. It has a great vibe and plenty of space for three kids, five adults and our dog. Kids loved the table tennis. It was good to be away from the crowds in the Main Street. Beautiful walks along the beach which was so accessible. Richard and crew were great to communicate with.

Hideaway at Mt Martha Beach.
Lovely little gem, easy to get the bus into town to have a few wines! John was the loveliest host and made us feel really comfortable, showed us his impressive wine-making, gave some great local advice and made sure we got on the right bus to town for dinner.

Cowes Central Beach House
My friend group of 10 and myself absolutely loved out stay at this place. The house was everything we wished for and more. It was in such a fantastic location within walking distance to everything we needed (shops, beach, etc) and the house itself was incredible. So much to do inside with lots of options including pool table, table tennis, basketball, swing set, xbox and more. I would definitely recommend this stay.

Cabin Charm—Hot Tub Bliss, Moments from the Beach
We had a lovely stay over the long weekend at Sharon’s place. Set in a quiet cul de sac within a direct 5 minutes walk to the beach, this place is ideal for couples looking for a getaway. The unit is beautifully appointed with great facilities and plenty of room. A straightforward 20 mins walk into the town with plenty of options to grab a coffee. Highly recommended.

Rhyll Waterfront Retreat: Panoramic Sea Views
Hi Deb! Today we left your wonderful house unfortunately after 6 weeks. We had a phantastic time and didn’t want to leave… We got in contact with so many nice people in Surf Church and Baptist Church. The Catholic School was also wonderful for our son. We loved Surfing at Smiths Beach, hiking at Pyramid Rocks, swimming at the Beach at your House with the black swans, Jogging at Silverleaves and writing a Book on the terrace of your House with the Most wonderful panoramic view ever!!! How can I now live without it?

The Lite House
Lovely little apartment in a great location.

Beach front views in the heart of Cowes
We love coming to Phillip Island, but this has been one of our favourite stays. David was extremely easy to deal with, responsive and friendly. Made many great recommendations for things to do/places to see. Check in to check out was a smooth process and we would be more than happy to stay again. Thanks David !!

Waters Edge Rest, Lux Couples/Small Family Retreat
We had a wonderful weekend away - such a beautiful spot with lovely views out to the water but still able to be cosy by the fireplace! The house was very clean, and had everything we could have possibly needed! Look forward to staying again in the future :)

Apartments at Glen Isla

Retro Retreat | Pool, Hot Tub & 300m to Beach
My group of friends and I had a fabulous weekend celebrating our milestone birthdays. The house is very comfortable for large groups and the spa was a great social space. The heater kept us cosy and we had a very enjoyable time!

Galene Getaway | Walk to Beach, Pool & Fire
What a great stay. The accommodation was perfect. Eight of us girls stayed over a weekend to celebrate my birthday and there was loads of room for everyone. It’s just like the photos, even better. Unfortunately we couldn’t use the pool because it was too cold, but was still nice to look at. The house is surrounded by loads of running/walking tracks, cafes and things to do. It was such a great stay. My only negative comment is that we couldn’t stay longer.

Poolside beach retreat on the Peninsula
Greg and Maree’s place was exactly what me and my friends were looking for. A good price being right by the beach and with a pool. Greg and Maree were so helpful and responsive and kind. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a relaxing weekend away.

200 mt to beach, Family Holiday Unit
We have stayed at Jodie's place 2 or 3 times now, my kids love it, we walk to the beach in the morning and if hot enough, pool for rest of the day. It has everything that suits us as a family including the oval and skate park across the road.

Beachfront at Red Rocks! - with heated Swim Spa!
The accommodation was a perfect size. Main bedroom is great, large with its own bathroom and enclosed outside area. Shared bedrooms maybe a bit small but they're just for sleeping anyway. Plenty of living space, an extra area for kids. Lots of toys and games and a billiard table. The swim spa wasn't heating for us but Chris the host did warn us due to unforeseen circumstances and offered a refund if we wished to cancel. Very close to a beautiful enclosed beach, not very busy and good for swimming. Far enough away from 5he bustle of Cowes centre but close enough to walk or drive in for supplies. Chris was very prompt in replying. Overall, a very good experience and I recommend this accommodation for groups or families. Thank you Chris for offering your place.

Just Beachy
The place was very comfortable and extremely handy being close to everything. Sally was very obliging to all our requests. We would fully recommend this place to anyone who is considering staying there!

Absolute Beachfront
We had a lovely week at Somers, walks on the beach, coffee at the general store. The house was lovely, and it was great to emerge from the backyard to the beach - quite some steps though. Pool was good for a quick dip and play. We enjoyed the view - sitting inside (storms) or drying off after a swim. Our doggie was welcomed with treats. Lots of lovely art and an admiral beachcombing collection makes you feel at home.

Hideaway by the Sea – Walk to Beach Wi-Fi & Linen
Debbie's house was is wonderfully located for beach access & a peaceful getaway. We were visited by Wallabies & Kookaburra's each day which was so special for our kids to experience. Cowes is a short drive for all amenities. We had a lovely time. Debbie's was responsive & very friendly & helpful host. We will definitely try to return in future.

Beachside Burrow ‘The Nest’
Book this space! I have stayed in close to 40 Airbnb’s and this was by far the cleanest place and the attention to detail was immaculate. The kitchen was so well stocked with anything you could need and the quality of the utensils and crockery was top notch. We had a charcuterie board and there was even a board and cheese knives! The view was amazing & the access to the beach was so nice. It was so cozy at night with the heater and we appreciated the nice bathroom amenities & shower pressure. 1000/10 would recommend to anyone looking to have an amazing stay in phillip island.

Beach unit a stones throw from Smiths Beach.
We had a good 2 nights stay at Andrew’s, smiths beach just down the road. My kids really enjoyed the beach and the games provided in the suite. Place was cosy and had everything we needed.

Cosy Seaside Getaway, sleeps 6
Absolutely fantastic stay here! Beautiful beach views and walking distance to Main Street! Highly recommend!

Family Island Getaway - Short stroll to beach!
This place was amazing! Very easy to find, very quiet. Perfect for if you want to spend your time relaxing. Perfect location, only a short 6 minute drive into town or right outside is a bus stop if you wanted to get public transport into town, really can’t get much better than that. This place was so worth the money, it’s much bigger than what appears in the photos and has everything you could possibly need. Definitely will stay here again.

Holiday home in Ventnor
We had a wonderful week at Ventnor. Jillian's home has the most incredible views and the house was one of the best appointed for all our needs - the welcome basket of snacks and biscuits most appreciated. You will have a great beachfront time away here !

Salt and Stone Retreat, luxury in heart of Cowes
Lynette’s place is wonderful. So many unique touches. Walking distance to the shops, restaurants and beach! She had everything we could have needed and more. Kids books, toys, cot, bikes and heaps of outdoor games for them. It was such a special place and one we hope to return to someday.

Kokomo- Beachfront Couples Spa Suite - Ocean Views
5/5 - Wonderful Stay We had a fantastic stay at Phil’s place. The place is exactly as described. The location is perfect for someone who is into the peaceful sea. Phil is incredibly kind and responsive, always proactive to provide instructions and available to answer questions. We really appreciate the assistance Phil provided throughout the stay. If we thinking going to Cowes again, we will absolutely pick Phil’s place again and we do recommend this beautiful place to anyone who planning to visit Phillip Island. Thanks Phil for making our trip enjoyable!
