We were a party of two couples visiting Phillip Island. The property was clean and in a great walkable location with easy parking for unit. The showers in the two full bathrooms were a little dated but clean and functional. We arrived from overseas and the owner was very responsive. Easy check in and out. Would recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very quick response from Dimitrios, which I wasn’t expecting on a query with the TV. Everything was as advertised. Would love to come back.

What a fantastic stay! Everything you want within walking distance. We left the car parked in the garage our entire stay. 1 min walk to the beach and a 3 minute walk to Cowes centre shopping and cafe strip. A more than comfortable stay for a family with 2 boys (aged 11 and 12). A clean and well maintained townhouse with everything you need to make your holiday effortless. Communication with Jim was always prompt, in the lead up to and after our stay. We've been coming to Cowes for 12 years and this has been our best stay. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to Cowes and would definitely return. Thanks Jim and Linda for being such great hosts.

A beautiful and very comfortable place to stay in. It was very clean and had everything we needed for a long weekend stay.
Jim had organised everything for us so all we had to do was drive there and enjoy a few nights away near the beach. We will definitely stay there again..

Ladies retreat
My friends and I had a wonderful long weekend at this property. This was my first time booking through the stayz site and had a few glitches which our hosts Jim and Linda were incredibly helpful in helping me navigate.
The apartment is spacious, comfortable, tastefully furnished and perfect for our first night in watching movies and catching up. It is also very close to the main street and easy to walk to everything when we were ready to hit the town the following night. Communication with our hosts was easy and they really went out of thier way to recommend great places in town and answer our many questions. I would highly recommend this property it has everything you need and such a wonderful location. We look forward to returning in the warmer months to take advantage of being so close to the beach!

This one is all about location
The house itself was nice enough, the mattresses were comfortable, but the old squeeky beds could use an update. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable, but it was quite small. For the price and the time of year we were really happy with the location. Everything was a walk away. Jim was also very communicative which i appreciated. I would recommend this house if your happy for a small size. The kitchen pots, pans and utensils were great!
We probably would stay here again.

Easy quiet location close to everything
This was a comfortable townhouse for our visit, and Jim was a responsive host. House set up with most things you'd need, and it was easily accessible to the water and shops. Would only advise that if stairs are an issue this would not be suitable property for you.
