About this property

Phillip Island Waterfront House

Phillip Island Waterfront House is our much-loved family beach house, and we enjoy sharing it with our guests. The house is absolutely beachfront with 270 degree water views, and we truly believe it offers one of the best locations on the Island.

You’ll enjoy stunning water views from every room, with sweeping ocean and bay views from the main living area. Step outside for beach walks, swimming and surfing, with Surf Beach just metres from the doorstep.

The house is ideal for multigenerational family gatherings or relaxed weekends away with friends. With a huge open living area, billiards and games room, and four large ensuite bedrooms, there’s plenty of space for everyone to unwind.

Our home has a relaxed, lived-in coastal feel that suits its beautiful surroundings. You’ll likely notice that it isn’t perfect - being so close to the ocean means the elements take their toll from time to time. What you will find is a house that is clean, welcoming, well-stocked and comfortable. We like our guests to feel as though their good friends Cam and Trish have just handed them the keys to their beach house to enjoy.

This house is definitely for you if you want a relaxing, clean, family friendly house and are not looking for a 5 star hotel experience. You can forgive a little bit of rust or minor wear and tear here and there thanks to the close proximity to the beach (we can promise you that we are always working on the house to keep it maintained, we joke that it’s a little like painting the Sydney harbour bridge, once you’ve finished you have to start all over again!).

NEARBY
• Our awesome house is only 200 metres from the surf beach and a short walk also to the famous Surfies Point.
• On the doorstep is a nature reserve where you can spot wallabies and echidnas. From the months of late September - early May Shearwater birds nest in the rookery right across the road. It is truly magical to watch them circling the sky each evening just after sunset as they make their way back to their burrows.
• For those with children, there is a playground with BBQ just a few doors away.
• There is a BWS bottle shop which is walking distance to the house.
• Next to the BWS bottle shop is a fantastic pretzel/coffee van and pizza van.

I would love to give this property a 5 star rating as it is in a great location with amazing views with good amenities but it lacks in presentation. The couches and seating were old there is black mould in the ceiling in some areas and luckily we go to the gym because the main living room door to the balcony was bloody hard to open! In its hay day this property would have been absolutely beautiful but the years are now showing. Still a good stay but from the pictures I felt a little let down.

Waterfront family home

This property is perfectly placed for a magnificent family holiday. Lots of space in the home, lots of activities…..pool table, table tennis table, all sorts of other activities. And….right on a surf beach. Perfect for wandering to the beach in any weather and enjoying the outdoors. The home itself is in need of some maintenance and a good spring clean. One of the main attractions is the magnificent view but the windows are filthy. Obviously being right on the beach it’s a big ask to keep the sea spray off the windows, but I suspect they haven’t been done in a long time. Also several maintenance issues….loose leg on the coffee table, front door difficult to close, light bulbs out in some of the bedrooms, front deck needs work as it’s wobbly, side gates almost impossible to open, tap in the kitchen swivels and difficult to operate. And several other minor issues. Having said that, the place is extremely family friendly and well stocked with entertainment. As well as being in a brilliant location.

Perfect large family getaway home

From the ease of checking in, to the late check out we had a BLAST! Perfect position for strolls to the gorgeous surf beach. The very large house is superbly suited and decked out for lots of family fun. We literally drove nowhere from the minute we arrived until we left. Wandered down to the BottleO and to the cute coffee van, but otherwise we’re completely entertained by all the activities in house, or the gorgeous beach. Highly recommend. We’re coming back for a week next time! PS we had a small issue with the hot water, which the owner was able to rectify over the phone with polite, happy instructions. Delightful weekend from all angles.

About the host

Hosted by Trish and Cameron

Host profile image
We are Cameron and Trish, long-time lovers of Phillip Island and feel incredibly lucky to share our family beach house with guests. Our connection to the Island goes back many years, and it has been a place of surfing, family memories and slowing down by the ocean.

We host because we genuinely enjoy offering a relaxed, welcoming space where families and friends can reconnect, unwind and enjoy the beauty of this special part of the world.

Why they chose this property

Surf Beach on Phillip Island offers the best of both worlds - a peaceful, natural setting right on the sand, while still being close to everything the Island is known for. We love the sense of space, the sound of the ocean, and the ever-changing views across the water.

This part of the Island feels wonderfully unspoilt. It's common to spot wallabies and birdlife nearby, enjoy quiet beach walks, or watch the shearwaters return to their burrows at sunset in season. At the same time, cafés, restaurants, shops and iconic attractions like the Penguin Parade are just a short drive away.

For us, it’s the perfect place to slow down, reconnect with nature and enjoy coastal living at its best - which is exactly what we hope our guests experience during their stay.

What makes this property unique

Phillip Island Waterfront House offers comfortable, family and group-friendly accommodation with stunning ocean views. Absolute beachfront, located in Surf Beach with the sand and surf just metres from the doorstep. Our 3 level beach house accommodates up to 15 guests with 4 ensuite bedrooms allowing for privacy. Every room in the house has amazing ocean views. Enjoy our free Wifi and Netflix and be entertained with our billiards room, arcade machine, ping pong table, darts and much more!
