Spacious house in a great location, about a 10 minute walk to the beach and a short drive to Cowes. The BBQ wasn’t clean on arrival, due to it being left that way by previous guests, which was a minor disappointment. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again.

Great space, loads of kitchen equipment, close to beach and shops. Would come back. No wifi, could not find the network, services are not great in Phillip Island.

I saw an earlier review which said this property was everything that it promised which is absolutely true. We’ll equipped for families with everything you need. Fencing and yard perfect our dog. And position to beach so convenient. The owner was easy to deal with and very responsive. If it wasn’t Christmas (plus it was booked :)) we would have extended our stay. Will be booking another stay next year.

Another fabulous stay at smiths beach. We love this property it suits our needs perfectly. Feels like our home away from home. Been a regular holiday destination for our family for over 5 years . Secure backyard for the dogs, and great teenagers retreat downstairs whilst the adults chill out upstairs. Kitchen is well equipped and it is easy to keep clean.

We really enjoyed this property for our MotoGP holiday. Fantastic property with all the essentials, accomodating 5 adults with plenty of room to spare. Great kitchen and bbq located on the spacious deck. Only about a 30min walk to the track made it the perfect location. Great memories made here and would love to return to this property again one day. Thanks to Caroline for everything, it was a pleasure dealing with you. Thanks Dane.

Stoked!

We loved our stay at Smiths Beach. Perfect for two families with young kids - the kids loved being in the bunk room together! Perfect yard for our dogs too, huge and secure. Had everything we needed and close walk to Smiths Beach. Only think we would have loved was an indoor clothes horse for drying clothes when it’s wet outside and also the gas tank under the bbq was empty, but otherwise LOVED it and want to return next year!!!! Thank you :)
