Great holiday location for families to enjoy all that Rhyll and Phillip Island has to offer.

We stayed here for four nights and were very happy with the stay in all regards: The house; location; communication with the host; his willingness to attend to any questions or concerns we had. Would definitely stay again.

Amazing property. Clean. Homey feel. Nice little touches
We loved this property The home was clean and tidy. Well equipped. Little touches of convenience like tissues in most rooms, basic cooking supplies, dog bags and bowls, games for the backyard and toys for children. It felt really well thought out in terms of leaving toys and books for children to play with I also really loved the home made honey that was compliments of the host from the bees you can see from the backyard. We also brought our family dog with us and he had a great time. It was very hot and there was limited shade outside but it didn’t really affect us as we were out with him on adventures everyday. The location was perfect. Super close and convenient to everything. But also away from the business of Cowes. We enjoyed walking to the inlet and exploring the area. The host Doug was extremely helpful and responsive when I had a question. Very polite and friendly. Would highly recommend this home to anyone!

Awesome place to stay
We had a fantastic weekend getaway at this place. Rhyll is amazing and this place is aptly located to everything you want to explore in Philip Island. The beach is a 5 min walk down the road. The place is clean and well equipped with all amenities. Beautiful house in a beautiful location.

lovely!
The house doesn't look impressive from the outside but inside was nice and clean, with everything we needed along with little special touches that weren't advertised or necessary but really made for a great visit (e.g., board games, free local honey, fresh lemons, a few toys and books we could use, etc). When we left behind some chargers for our devices Doug got in touch and offered to mail them! Location was excellent - the nearby tennis courts and general store were so convenient, and the neighbourhood was quiet. Would definitely come again!
