From booking to leaving, Nelson’s Rest was a great experience. A great house, location wonderful, close to everything we needed, no car required for the three days we were there. Scott was a great communicator. The house is fully equipped with conveniences. Beds super comfy. We will be back 100%.

Wonderful family holiday

This property felt like a home as soon as we walked through the door. It was light clean and it had a lovely warm & inviting feeling about it. As a young family this house was fabulous. A big front & back yard for the kids (& fur child) and it’s location was fantastic...Each day we enjoyed a walk into town. Scott was quick and easy to communicate with. We’d love to stay again. Thank you!

Second time at the Beach house

Second time at the Beach house

This is our second stay at Nelson's Rest Beach House and will happily stay here again. The property is big enough to house the whole family, plenty of room for everyone to spread out and do there own thing then have a BBQ or dinner on the deck. Secure parking behind locked gates is great for bikes on trailers. Great location - close enough to walk, but far away that its not too noisy from main st. Highly recommend staying at Nelson's Rest Beach House.

A great pet friendly location.

We loved this house being so close to the beach and not too far from Cowes CBD. The yard is great for dogs and there is plenty to like about the house itself. Plenty of comfort and things for all ages to do with a well stocked bookshelf and toys for kids. Would revisit in the future.

My partner myself our 5 children and 2 dogs stayed here for 4 days. Very close to everything. The yard size was wonderful for the dogs to run around. The books and games selection at the house were a winner with the kids and myself. Super clean and cosy. I cant wait to revisit. Thank You for having us.

Wonderful stay. The property exceeded all expectations. The bonus dog door was just like home.

The property is perfect for families who travel with their fluffy children. Our girls (spoodles) were able to enjoy the front and rear yard with the added bonus of going in and out of the dog door just like home. As for comfort, we could not believe the bed mattress......so beautiful and much better than most 5 star hotels. Secure off Street parking was also much appreciated.

My family had a wonderful time at this property. We booked it for 7 nights and it was a great escape from the hustle and bustle. The host, Scott was very helpful and responsive and for that we are very grateful. The location is ideal for families. Close to the township and beach. We loved being able to take our small dogs to the beach in a short stroll (after 5pm). Beds were very comfortable, kitchen well stocked and the outdoor entertaining bbq was particularly enjoyed. Thank you and we hope to visit again.

We stayed over Christmas and new year with our dog. Place was in a great spot- only a short walk to shops and a very short walk to the beach. Very clean and well presented house. Well fenced yard and very private backyard. Outdoor shower was a winner!

We spent 4 nights here over the Easter break. The house is well maintained and was lovely and clean upon arrival. The owner was a pleasure to deal with. The house is located an easy walk from the main street of Cowes, along with the beach and general store. The only negative we found was that the road was incredibly busy and loud- especially at night, but it probably wouldn’t be such an issue during off-peak times.

Why would you buy a beach house when you can stay here?

Why would you buy a beach house when you can stay here?

Awesome place, very close to the beach and shops. Having the caravan park over the road can get a little noisy with public holidays and people walking home but this will happen all over Cowes in busy periods. Everything you would want from a holiday house; plenty of room for the dog to run laps around the property. BBQ with a good outdoor area for a night in and plenty of books/dvds to relax and unwind. Highly recommend and will be back for my next track day.

We really enjoyed our stay here, the house is very practical and has a good design, particularly for families with small children with bedrooms away from the main living areas. The outdoor area out the back is great and the kids enjoyed running around freely. The place was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. Initially we were worried about noise with the caravan park being across the road, but this was not an issue at all. We will return if ever back in Phillip Island.

Good place to relax.

We enjoyed our stay at the Beach House, Everything was in the house that I needed and more. The beds were comfortable, lovely BBQ. My son came down on the Sat.night with the children and they really enjoyed their stay. It is good that you can shut the gates to the street, this makes the place safe for the children. We hope to come down again, maybe next year.
