Great location and value

This property was great value and had everything we needed. It was in a great location, dog friendly, and family friendly. We stayed with some family friends and had a great time. My daughter keeps asking if way can go back to 'the Phillip Island house'. The manager was great - friendly, clear, and helpful.
