Linen

It is common in the region for some linen to be provided for bookings, and some linen to be available as an optional extra. By default, a booking at this home does not include optional linen (top & bottom sheets, bath towels and pillowcases). What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for. The additional cost would be a one-off charge of $30 per bed (some sites add a service fee to these costs) - and we prefer 7 days' notice prior to your arrival to get that arranged.

Peak Periods

Please note that during the peak summer period and other peak times, check in times are set as 3pm (unless by prior arrangement). Please also note that if you avail of the optional linen hire over these times, it may involve linen being left out but beds not being made up.

Not what we were expecting
The cleanliness was poor. Heavy dust on fans, dust on kitchen shelves, found dirty mugs in cupboards. The dishwasher was broken, and a problem with kitchen faucet aswell. There was only one frying pan, and no basic cooking condiments like salt and pepper. There wasn't enough cutlery, 5 forks when the unit accommodates 6. The area is for the "resort people" so when staying in a private owned unit everything seemed to be extra. And there was absolutely no wifi anywhere as we were not with the "resort". However the beds were comfy and the bedrooms and bathrooms seemed clean. So that was good.

Short Family Getaway
Our 3-bedroom apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. There are fantastic facilities onsite, and as we had fanily from overseas with us, the Ramada Resort was in a great location close to Cowes and the Fairy Penguin attraction. We also visited the wildlife park just across the road, and our guests LOVED it. There were a couple of things that let us down, the main one being the buffet breakfast. We arrived towards the end of the dining time, and had to ask for plates, cutlery, and even if more food would be coming out, as all the trays were empty. It was a well priced breakfast....but not if there's nothing to eat. A few items were topped up, onky fir guests who had already eaten to stack their plates high and a few in our group missed out again. Staff were very busy (and friendly) and I felt that we were hassling them and so just managed to eat a few items that were topped up. Would highly suggest going when the breakfast opens so you have some choice of what to eat.

Very comfortable, great facilities and location
We loved our stay! Plenty of room for our family of 4, plus a grandparent. Whilst still being warm and cosy on a cold winter weekend. We enjoyed the facilities & the location was perfect to access all that Phillip Island has to offer. Thank you, we will be back!

Great Family Resort
My family of 5 had a great time during our long weekend stay. Accommodation was roomy, quiet & private. My kids loved the resort facilities, swimming pool, playground etc. I loved the walking track. Lots of nature & animals.
