    I stayed in one of the new studio cabins.

    I stayed in one of the new studio cabins. It was really well set out and had everything that I needed, along with beautiful crisp white sheets and fluffy towels. It was a very pleasant stay and the hotel staff were all helpful and friendly. It’s also in a very good position right on the beach and a short walk to Cowes township. Definitely worth a visit!

    Cowes is a live town not just a tourist town with everything you need easily accessible. Lovely locals, lots of options, interesting and nature all around. Easy, short drive to Penguin parade and multiple beaches. Very clean, safe and picturesque, a great location from which to discover the island's many attractions.

    Stayed at North Pier Hotel .

    Stayed at North Pier Hotel . We booked family room which comes with an outdoor patio. Great location. Within walking distance to family friendly beach and restaurants. We had the best lamb curry in Chocolate Factory cafe. Not spicy, lamb was tender, suitable for kids. Love the fish and chips!! We purchased bundle pass which comes with Penguin Parade, Churchil Island (picnic area, picturesque view, Highlander cow), Koala Conservation (spotted lots of koala on the trees while walking on boardwalk). Highly recommended these places of interest.

    I am sending these 2 photos as on the screen shot you see I paid for a studio with patio and balcony and all I got was this pod for $500 per night. They lied about what my accommodation was to you. Probably because they had a big group staying as well they decided to shove me down in a "trades pod". Unacceptable! They need to give me a refund and booking.com can't trust them in the future! Thanks Kerry

    The home was extremely spacious with 3 living zones, one we used with the fold-out sofa as an extra bedroom. Eating outside in the fully enclosed sunroom meant no dramas when the kids dropped food. Air con was more than sufficient in cooling the home. The home was immaculately clean and the kitchen was well appointed. Only minutes from Cowes town centre and all the local attractions of Phillip Island. There was a fully secured garage and lush lawn in the back yard...the kids had so much room to play.

    quirky character filled property a bit away from the rush of Cowes but close to a beach with great views from upstairs room. Spacious room with full kitchen. Some interesting experiences whilst undergoing renovations- Lots of extravagant features, but offset with some dodgy shortcuts and cheap touches. New management have plans that should make this a great stay.

    Very comfortable accommodation in the Castle Main house. Large bedroom with elevated small balcony overlooking the garden, and separate sitting room and bathroom. Bed very comfortable and everything is generally well appointed but within an older house. Located a 5 min walk from the centre of Cowes. The garden is a feature!

    We stayed at one of new cabins and was very comfortable and clean. They have everything you need for a short or long stay. Our cabin was heater on when we arrived and it was very much appreciated (we arrived in a very cold day!). Kids just loved it. You can do everything by walking to Cowes town center.

    The room was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Set in a peaceful neighborhood it was still only a short walk to the shops and eateries of Cowes. One thing that stood out on this trip to Phillip Island was how friendly the people we encountered were, from shopkeepers, locals to the other daytrippers.

    Location is a bit far from beach and shops but house size, amenities and cleanliness made up for it. Have stayed at places in Cowes that weren't as good as this house. You can walk to stuff but takes too long if you have small kids or need to bring back heavy items from shops.

    The hotel was close to the beach. It was great to be able to walk across the road for a swim & it was close for viewing the fireworks on NYE. We were able to walk to the shops & restaurants. It was very pleasant to go for a stroll in Cowes.
