Comfortable & cosy

Lovely holiday home, great location easy walk to all shops and restaurants/bars. We were blessed with warm weather, so enjoyed the lounge on the back deck as well as the fire pit. Great secure rear yard for dogs..

Perfect getaway

Was perfect for a great getaway to the seaside Great location with all that was required within easy walking distance - shops and beach. Central location to explore the area. Outdoor patio area was lovely although could do with a little extra care! My dog loved the large outdoor space to roam and explore and settled in very quickly

Loved the house. The pictures are exactly what it looks like in real life, which is a nice change from other places that I’ve rented. It was clean and tidy with a great backyard and covered decking. I took my dogs with me and they love the large yard. I will definitely be booking this again when I am next in Phillip Island. It was a very short walk back to the Main Street of Cowes and the beach. Communication with Mathijs and Mark was really quick and easy.

Once again, a lovely stay in Cowes. Location of home great for walking to the shops and a short drive to a dog friendly beach. The outside patio is pleasant for relaxing but a little tired looking and could do with some rejuvenation to give it a lift. Would be fantastic if a screen door was put on the front of the home to allow an afternoon breeze through the home. Otherwise we had a lovely stay. My dog loves the spacious backyard to explore

Very clean place. But bed was very uncomfortable. I got up with a sore back and hip. My partner got up with sore neck and had a headache.
