The home was unique and quirky as advertised, and was also clean and relatively comfortable. Check-in process was not good. After not receiving any check-in information via the app by the time we were due to check in, and not receiving any responses to the messages we sent during the day asking for this information, we needed to call VRBO for assistance.

The decore is interesting and unique. Roger, the host, is a character out of the wild west. Decore has a strong nautical and motoring and American Indian influence with a touch of Mexican

Seemed a bit musty. The soft furnishings felt dusty. The path from the street to the house was mostly gravel. Only street parking. Roger was absent when we arrived but Jeany was an excellent host. Helped carry luggage to house. Left her phone number when she was leaving premises. If leaves were cleared off skylights, etc. it would have let more light in. No internet. No TV channels 2 or 10.

San Antone accommodation was all its advertised and more. Roger (the owner) is welcoming, friendly, and his artistic side flows through the property. Once we walked in, it feels far away from the busy Phillip island road. It truly feels like a completely unique place to stay. With something to see everywhere you look, it's not hard to see why so many people would choose to stay here. In apartment #1, The main bedroom features a queen bed, along with 2 singles. Perfect for families with children who want to be close. There's also another bedroon with a bunk bed, plus another single. All beds are made up, ready for your stay. There's a lovely deck outside the bedroom and lounge area, which feels like you're sitting in a rainforest. Very tranquil. There's a full kitchen if you want to cook, with a dining table that seats 4. Thank you, Roger, for being such a great host. Brandon and I will definitely be in touch for another stay in the future.

Such a cool and quirky place at a great location! Roger, property owner, was so welcoming. His quirky, creative and eccentric personality comes through onto the property. Loved his collectables and if you love antique truck parts you would appreciate the two Bedford grilles he has displayed! Thanks Roger. We will see you soon

We thought it looked ‘quirky’. Previous reviews said the owner was great. What it was: dank, musty, dirty. The couches are overdue for hard rubbish collection. No wifi, only one toilet roll for the weekend. Had to do a supermarket run to buy our own. The owner was rude and intimidating. Don’t waste your money here.

A Very Happy Family Holiday

A Very Happy Family Holiday

Roger's place felt like a classic family holiday house set somewhere between the Wild West and a tropical island. We felt immediately at home, and Roger was a marvellous host. Wifi reception was less than ideal for remote work when we stayed, but I understand there'd been local issues affecting all of Cowes.

Thanks very much for your hospitality Roger, it was a great couple of days staying at your place. Although we’ve been visiting Phillip Island for over 15 years during the holidays, your local knowledge & stories is 2nd to none. The large unit is decked out with memorabilia from Roger’s travels around the world & all have a story which he’s happy to recount. The unit is functional & has all you need for a beach-stay, close to amenities and a short walk to the beach. Hope to catch up with you on our next visit to Phillip Island Roger, thanks again mate, it was an absolute pleasure meeting and getting to know you. Cheers, Mark
