Great location
The old cottage is a great location for your stay on Phillip Island. It is really neat and tidy has great kitchen with all the things you need. I loved being able to access the beach from a nearby lane to walk the dog. The GOP bedroom and history of the house was a surprise. The kids found it a bit spooky and opted to share the other bedroom.

Welcoming little cottage, with good facilities. Spacious for the 3 of us, we got it cosy in mid winter, in the living room with the reverse cycle wall heater. Easy walk beach and Cowes. Lots to see around island for walkers.

Short get away
Overall we were happy with our stay. The yard was good, but wasn't very secure for our dogs, the gap under the gate was too big, so they couldn't be left alone. We couldn't all go out together as a family without out taking the dogs, so that limited some family time.
