The cottage was very quaint and cosy. Staff left you alone to enjoy your holiday which was nice. Check in and check out was a tad confusing and needed attention. Gas fire place instead of actual fire place which is deceptive but safer option I guess for the hotel given the lack of human interaction. All round a pleasant stay.

Nice Cozy Cottage with Parking
Its a nice cozy place for 4 of us on a friends trip to Phillip Island. We got back late from dinner, the staff has left but left us a note as to where the key was. It would have been nice to give us a call since I left a local number with my booking. Internet is almost non existence. Close to the main stretch of Cowes. If you stay there check out the Italian Pizza place! Has heater / aircon. Only qualm is that for 4 of us, they gave really miniature size molton brown toiletries which were barely enough.

We booked a three bedroom facility Turned out we were allocated to a small cottage It was really small with hardly much room to move around or put our luggages The facility is quite aged, so different from that was shown on photos

Best place on Philip Isand
What a great place. We stayed in ‘Driftwood’. Deal with the minor criticism first: there wasn’t enough crockery or knives and forks etc in the kitchen area. However everything else was spot on. It was clean comfortable and in a great position
