We were very happy with all aspects of this property. It was perfect for our family of 5. The kids loved being so close to the beach and the main street being only a short walk away was very convenient. The cottage had charm and character but also the modern features that made it comfortable and practical. It was styled beautifully and was nice and clean. The beds were all super comfy so we were well rested during our stay.

Home away from home

We had 5 family members share this 4 bedroom holiday home. It was so clean & comfortable and absolutely stunningly decorated. It has all facilities available for cooking a family meal and the location is superb. Communication with the host was perfect. Thanks for hosting us, it was a wonderful stay.

We stayed at this pet friendly house, during winter school holidays for 3 nights . The house is 5 mins walk to the beach which dog friendly at this time of year, and great for kids to develop some independence as the walk to the beach consists of crossing one side street . The house was extremely clean and well supplied with all kitchen needs , bedding and blankets . 2 bedrooms are situated upstairs and 2 downstairs( 1 with bunk beds for children) The supply of wood for the wood heater was ample and added an cosy cottage feel to the house . There is a laundry and shower that can be accessed from the backyard perfect for the summer months for when you come off the beach all salty and covered in sand . Although not used , the outdoor entertainment areas for relaxation looked very inviting for warmer days . We throughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning . The bedrooms lacked wardrobes however there was plenty of hanging space and storage for clothes in the main bedroom. Rate this house 9.5 out of 10

Relax at Kilara

Kilara Cottage was a wonderful base to explore Cowes and Phillip Island. We were able to spend the mornings enjoying the area and return to an exceptionally comfortable property. The fireplace was an absolute bonus in the cold July weather. Reading and relaxing with a glass of wine in front of the fire was rejuvenating. We will definitely be looking to use the property again. Thank you for the use of this home.

Enjoyed our stay. Very close to beach, less than 5 min walk! Lovely relaxing garden. Would return!

We had a lovely stay. The house was easy to check in to, clean on arrival. Bedrooms all very comfortable. Cot upstairs in one of the rooms and high chair was very handy for our little one. Nice new kitchen and bathroom made the house feel quite luxurious. Very quick walk to beach and less than 10 mins walk to shops. Had a minor issue with hot water and were eventually able to work out that each bathroom is serviced by a different hot water system. Would return again.

Fabulous place. Great location. Beach access close by. Would love to be there in Summer. Everything plus more available within the house. Super quiet and cosy. Only negative was no curtain/blinds on kitchen window. Still it rates 5/5. Thank you.
