Locality

Situated halfway between San Remo and Cowes, Surf Beach has one of the islands most beautiful beaches. The rock pools are ideal for small (and big) children to explore, some are large enough to swim in!
The beach is wide and sandy and provides plenty of opportunity for play and paddling, while in other parts along the beach spectacular waves from the southern ocean crash onto rocks and headlands, while surfers enjoy the water only metres away.
The beach is backed by sloping cliffs which harbour an extensive Shearwater bird rookery, and there is always birdlife fosicking amongst the rockpools and shallows.
A bike path extends all the way from San Remo to Cowes allowing Surf Beach residents the opportunity to explore in either direction.
Phillip Island has scores of holiday activities including the penguin parade and nature parks as well as plenty of other unique attractions such as the Grand Prix circuit, Amaze N Things puzzle park and the irresistible Chocolate Factory.

Hi Lorraine, thanks for your comments. We are pleased you had a restful time and found the apartment clean and tidy. However we are very distressed to learn that the bbq was not clean and the gas was empty. We replaced the gas and thoroughly cleaned the hotplates only two weeks ago so were dissapointed that you found it the way you did. We will attend to this as a matter of urgency. Thanks again for choosing Island Views.

Good cleanliness. Highlight was the balcony and view. Two minute walk to beautiful beach. Good secure areas for dogs. Away from the hustle and bustle of Cowes. Dark and quiet at nighttime. I liked the open plan upstairs and 3 doors opening to the balcony for breezes!

From the moment we arrived at Jenn and Keith’s beachfront retreat, it was clear this place was something special. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the surf, yet wonderfully peaceful—making it ideal for the chaos of a MotoGP weekend.What truly sets Jenn & Keith apart is their thoughtful, generous guidance and support throughout the stay. They went above and beyond, not just by providing a beautiful, comfortable home, but by being genuinely courteous hosts—always available to answer questions, offer local tips, and ensure we were settled in nicely.The property itself is immaculate, stylish yet relaxed; great for kicking back after a long race day. Everything we needed was there—clear instructions, well-stocked amenities, and a sense that the hosts had anticipated things we didn’t even think of.If you’re planning a trip—especially one like the Phillip Island MotoGP weekend where you want an easy, hassle-free base with strong hosts behind you—this is it. Jenn & Keith deliver not just a stay, but a warm welcome, excellent support and a spot you really enjoy coming back to each day.Thank you both—looking forward to our next visit!

Great little light filled open-plan studio apartment with a balcony that is perfect for having your breakfast with morning sun, or relaxing in the afternoon with a good shade. We were able to bring our dog and the place was perfect for us. Short walk to a nice beach. We enjoyed the location and our stay. Thank you.
