The location was perfect for what we needed. We were walking distance from great cafes and restaurants. We only used our car to visit the penguin parade. The sunsets were so beautiful. We were blessed with perfect weather which made our stay even more magical. It was a well spend $500 a day for the five of us. During daytime there were lots of people around which contributed to the holiday feeling. By night time all the cars were gone and it was very quiet. If we visit Melbourne again we will definitely try to come and stay in apart 1. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

    The penguins were an essential visit and didn’t disappoint.

    The penguins were an essential visit and didn’t disappoint. Lots of wildlife to see. Local venues had live music and the food was wonderful. Only draw back is Cowes seems to shut down after 10pm, so need your own entertainment after that, we just listened to the ocean and relaxed.

    Cowes is a lovely shore side town on Phillip Island.

    Cowes is a lovely shore side town on Phillip Island. It is at the far end of the island from the bridge to cross over to the island. The town is well equipped with all softs of shops, and is a good spot to use as a base to travel around the island and experience all the sights that are available.

    Cowes is a cool climate beach and water. If you cannot afford cost or time to get warmer water, enjoy what is affordable at Cowes. If you want extras, try half-hour drive to San Remo pub, or one hour to Wonthaggi.

    We did a mosaics class at Mosaics by the Bay, located in Ventnor. I've been to Cowes a few times and the shopping and restaurants are very good. The beach is really nice. It is very easy to get around. It can be very busy during peak seasons. There are the penguin parade, whale watching certain times of the year, adventure parks, mini golf at Grumpy's. There is a lot to do for couples as well as families.

    It was an easy walking distance to the main drag of cowes. We had two seniors and two under 3years old with us and it was very straight forward to get around. It was great walking distance to supermarkets too. The house was easy to access, perfect for our family to spread out and have their own space but also be together of an evening or during nap times in the lounge. Would definitely stay again

    The house was perfect for our needs. Plenty of beds and a great entertainment area, complete with table tennis & darts & bbq. Close enough to walk into Cowes. Lots of outdoor seating for relaxing and the kitchen is well stocked with appliances & kitchen tools. We used it for “The Grooms” house for a wedding & a small Brunch the day after the wedding. Perfect for us.

    Good central location, pet friendly, well equipped house with everything we needed for our short stay. Would recommend for a family especially if you have young children as it had a cot, high chair and plenty of toys for children to play with as well as a sandpit and secure back yard
