Perfect accommodation for my track day at Phillip Island. Only a 10min drive from the track and an easy 5 minute walk into town for dinner. I had my bike parked right out the front of my room which made packing, unpacking and bike prep a breeze. The staff were absolutely lovely! Couldn’t be happier with my stay.

The room was absolutely spotless, had everything you needed ie mini fridge, plenty of shelving, dining room table and lounge suite. The room was also really well laid out - the spa bath is in the main room with the bedroom but there is a separate bathroom which contains the toilet and shower allowing privacy. In a great location - not in the centre of Phillip Island so can avoid the traffic when it builds up but still in walking distance from lots of places to eat. The staff were very friendly and the spa bath was such a luxury.
