Cute cottage right on the beach

Had a comfy and restful stay in a quiet street near the beach. The dogs were very happy with the small fenced yard. I particularly liked the hard floors and walk in shower.

Vintage and cute

Welcoming little cottage, with good facilities. Spacious for the 3 of us, we got it cosy in mid winter, in the living room with the reverse cycle wall heater. Easy walk beach and Cowes. Lots to see around island for walkers.

Great location

The old cottage is a great location for your stay on Phillip Island. It is really neat and tidy has great kitchen with all the things you need. I loved being able to access the beach from a nearby lane to walk the dog. The GOP bedroom and history of the house was a surprise. The kids found it a bit spooky and opted to share the other bedroom.

Great location, secure for our dog and very comfortable. Really easy to check in and so close to the beach and local wallaby. The art on the wall in front bedroom was a surprise - I liked reading about the history of it but didn't love the feeling of the room, just personal preference. One of the single beds in the other front room is super squeaky so no-one slept on that one but everything else fantastic. Thanks for a great stay.

Short get away

Overall we were happy with our stay. The yard was good, but wasn't very secure for our dogs, the gap under the gate was too big, so they couldn't be left alone. We couldn't all go out together as a family without out taking the dogs, so that limited some family time.
