Great Stay!

We were a group of 7 women who used to work together 30 years ago. We had a fab time at the property! Key for us was there was no bed sharing! The property has a great outdoor deck that gets the afternoon sun. Inside there is a huge kitchen, dining and lounge area. This was the perfect property for a group of our size. Russell was great to deal with during the whole process!

An enjoyable Easter Break

We spent Easter at Phillip Island and entertained our family members over different days. The living area of the house was fantastic for a big group with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and a lovely big table for everyone to sit around during meals. The deck off the living room was particularly lovely in the sun. Three bathrooms also made it comfortable for everyone. The bedrooms are spacious and everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were. The house is well equipped. A nice walk to Cowes and the beach. We had a great stay!

Great family vacation home

Loved our stay at this property. We went in winter as an extended family holiday. Pets were welcome and the property had everything we needed. Just remember to bring your own towels! Shops are a short drive away… but easy to walk to in 10 minutes. The beach is also a short walk away… as is a coffee shop. Plenty of space to keep everybody entertained… even if it rains the entire time! Huge kitchen table, large loungeroom, seperate Loungeroom for the teenagers, games room, back yard for pets and two balconies. Beds were very comfortable and all rooms had heating! Will definitely book again for another family escape next year.

Disappointing

As this property was advertised as a "Luxury" property we were really looking forward to a high standard unfortunately we were very disappointed in the property. On entering the property is was very cold the whole of the downstairs had to be heated by finding oil heaters in cupboards and plugging them in, upstairs had a split system so was warmer. The property has a dated grubby feel, there was dust caked on all vents, the floors were sticky, skirts were dusty scuff marks on most walls, all ceiling fans could have used a clean as well. The shower down stairs barely flowed and the pole kept coming off the wall when moving the shower head. On the positive side the upstairs when warm had a really good lay out and is a good social area the view from the large windows was beautiful and relaxing. Property is very close to town great location.

The house ticked lots of boxes for an enjoyable group weekend away. The spacious living space, with a large dining table and plenty of comfortable seating, was a big plus. The property is reasonably priced, has good off-street parking and is within walking distance of the beach and coffee shops. We also appreciated the owner approving a later checkout.
