A stylish, newly renovated coastal retreat in the heart of Cowes — walk to the beach, the best cafes, and some of Australia's most iconic wildlife experiences.
Why guests choose us
Most holiday homes on Phillip Island ask you to compromise — remote location, dated interiors, or a long drive to everything. This one doesn't. You're in the heart of Cowes, in a fully renovated property, with everything from the beach to your favourite café a short walk away.
Genuinely central location
Walking distance to the beach, the town's best cafes, restaurants, the jetty, and shops. No car needed for your daily routine.
Newly renovated — properly
Fresh fit-out throughout. Clean lines, quality finishes, comfortable beds, and a kitchen that actually has everything you need.
Courtyard for alfresco living
A peaceful BBQ courtyard where you can cook, eat, and unwind outside after a day on the island.
Flexible, fuss-free stays
Self check-in, free parking, and all essentials included. No need to plan around anyone else's schedule.
Perfect for
Slip away from the city and settle into something slower. Spend mornings with coffee in the courtyard, wander along the Cowes foreshore at sunset, and end your evenings with the magic of the Penguin Parade.
Cowes is one of Victoria's best family destinations — calm beaches, wildlife around every corner, and a town compact enough that kids can walk everywhere. The house has space, parking, and a proper kitchen so you can travel without compromise.
You're 15 minutes from the world's most famous Penguin Parade, 10 minutes from koalas, and a short drive to one of Australia's largest fur seal colonies.
Melbourne is just 90 minutes away. Whether it's a long weekend or a school-holiday week, Cowes is close enough to be easy and far enough to feel like a real escape.
The Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit is 11 km away. Race-weekend accommodation books out fast — this central Cowes property is a perfect base for the action.

Explore the island
Penguins, koalas, dramatic coastline, and a buzzing little town — all within 15 minutes of your front door.
Watch hundreds of Little Penguins emerge from the sea at dusk — one of Australia's most magical wildlife experiences.
Book online ahead of time and arrive 30 minutes before sunset. Bring a warm layer — even on mild evenings it gets cool by the water.
A calm, sheltered bay beach just minutes from the property — perfect for a morning swim or a lazy afternoon in the sun.
The western end of the beach near the jetty is great for snorkelling at low tide. Kayaks and paddleboards are available elsewhere on the island if you want to get out on the water.
Walk elevated boardwalks through bushland and spot wild koalas at eye level in their natural habitat.
Morning visits offer the best chance of seeing koalas awake and moving. Look up — they blend in brilliantly against the bark.
Dramatic coastal boardwalks with sweeping ocean views and one of Australia's largest fur seal colonies visible offshore.
Go on a clear day for the best views. Combine with a Penguin Parade visit in the evening — they're just a few minutes apart.

"Really lovely place to stay"
Really lovely place to stay. We went with our 1 year old, and the place was great for him. Lots of space, toys, and lovely furniture with no sharp edges for the little one! Location was great, close to the shops and restaurants, but in a nice quiet street.

"Amazing!!, Recommend this place 10000%!!!"
We had such a great time here. The house is stunning, the modern updates to the bedrooms and kitchen are really sleek. It was so convenient being near the markets, too. A huge thank you to our host for being so generous and giving us some extra time to check out when we were running late. It made our trip much less stressful!

"A great home in the centre of Cowes"
A great home in the centre of Cowes. Perfect walking distance to both the beach and town centre. The house was clean and modern with everything you need for a stay. Sean replied extremely quickly and rectified any issues immediately. We will be back.
