A great place to stay

AlohaThe Waves was a really comfortable apartment - everything we needed was there and the apartment had a homely atmosphere, with sea views from the balcony, and within easy walk to hotels, shops and cafes plus the foreshore and pier just across the road. The beds were really comfortable too!

The apartment had everything we needed. The little touches of spare towels and new batteries were greatly appreciated. The recliners were so comfortable we were very spoilt. Location was amazing close to the beach, park and restaurants.

The unit is very spacious and in a great location close to the heart of Cowes and with views of the bay. The kids loved having their own rooms and bathroom too! There is an allocated parking spot within the complex too, and a park directly across the road for younger kids. Thanks for having us.

Had a very enjoyable stay in Phillip Island. Really enjoyed the apartment especially the couches. The Apartment Block was central to Cowes and within easy walking distance of shops.

Apartment was ideally located and very well appointed. A very comfortable place to stay for a family, family and parents or three couples (as long as one is OK with bunk beds) etc. Reserved parking takes the stress out too. Great cooking facillities, but also only a short walk to Thompson Avenue (main steet in Cowes). Recommend Phillip Island Hotel for food.

Great place to stay

Excellent location in Cowes, near enough to walk to Main Street for shops and restaurants, but far enough away to be quiet. Also only a 10 minute drive/ride to the Circuit, so excellent option for bike/car racing fans. Spacious, well appointed apartment and overall a great value for money place to base yourself for a Phillip Island getaway.
