Our photo's give a true representation of The Cottage, no photo-shopping was applied.

Also included in winter wood for the wood heater to keep you cosy! We are taking bookings for a maximum of 5 guests including kids.

Positioned in sought after Rose Avenue, Cowes, we are welcoming small families or groups to our relaxed cottage, just 100 m from the beach.

Spend lazy summer days by the beach in one of the best locations on Phillip Island.
Close enough to enjoy a stroll along the foreshore into Cowes or just spend your days on the beach enjoying the views across the water to French Island and beyond.
In winter, relax by the fire, warm up after you spend hours exploring the Island during the day, and from June on, maybe catch a sight of Whales passing along the coast.
Enjoy chasing Aurora Australis along our south facing coast, a sight not to be missed!

Situated within a native garden setting, our cottage gives you easy access to the beautiful, child friendly north facing beaches of Cowes.
The Cottage features a small undercover entertaining area facing north. We supply a BBQ and outdoor table setting for your convenience.
Entering the house, you are stepping into the Kitchen/Dining Room and next to this the living room. Please note that there is a wood heater in this area (we do supply wood for your stay in winter)
When Phillip Island weather is not at its best, choose a DVD from our collection and watch a movie with every one, or find your special spot in the Cottage, put your feed up and read one of the many books we provide. Get together around the table and try to finish one of the many puzzles.

Through the hallway, you reach the 3 bedrooms, as well as the bathroom and the laundry/additional toilet.

Quiet Cottage by the Sea
Our hosts welcomed us warmly, providing lovely treats as well as linen, towels, toiletries and kitchen basics. The comfortable cottage in a very quiet neighborhood is sheltered by tall banksias and Australian plants, visited by a range of birds, including a Spotted Pardalote. Just a short walk to a beautiful beach, the Cottage is a perfect place to unwind, relax, walk and swim.

Great Location
The best thing about the cottage is the location. Loved the closeness of the beach and the proximity to town. Yes it is definitely a cottage and old world charm. The hosts take pride but the yard/ garden is a bit too wild and could do with a bit of attention. But given the price it can be overlooked.

A wonderful place.
A cosy home with a garden and dog-friendly fenced area, just a few houses from the beach. Coffee machine, wine, comfy beds and couches...it had the lot. Great owners with friendly and thorough communication. And the area is a walk to main shopping strip, but in quiet streets that don't get much traffic. It made for a stress-free holiday.
