Phillip Island Stylish Beach Shack

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay. Walk to the beautiful Ventnor Beach, grab some local produce at the nearby
Milk bar, relax in front of the fire, play some good old fashioned board games or take a 10 min drive to our friend’s coffee shop “G’day Tiger” in Cowes. The beautiful Phillip Island Winery is also just a short drive away and for a surf head to Smith Beach, 10min down the road. Many more activities to do, solo or with the whole family! Our beach house offers 3 comfortable bedrooms with new EVA mattresses for an extra good sleep.
Kitchen and lounge room are open plan with direct access to the backyard. The outside is a large open space with lots of native plants and a cosy fire pit to sit around at night. Indoors also has a lovely fireplace to warm up during winter.

Phillip Island Stay

The house was in a great position. Only a short walk to the beach at Ventnor and a short drive to lots of other beaches. My grandchildren loved it (so did we!). The house is small but very comfortable. Everything we needed was there. Wouldefinitely stay there again.

Cute cottage close to beach

Wonderful stay in Ventnor in a 3 bedroom holiday house within 15 minute walk of Ventnor Beach. Lovely big back yard (adjoining a farm with bleating sheep), fire pit and native garden with a visiting echidna, turtle and native birds. The house had linen, towels and full kitchen. We would stay again!

Lovely island accommodation

Furnished nicely, great option of beds for kids. Comfortable. Unexpected toys for our kids to play with. Unfortunately it rained for a lot of our stay so didn’t get to use the outdoor fire pit. Nice quiet location.

Perfect Retreat on Philip Island: Clean, Quiet, Convenient, Unforgettable!

We had a fantastic stay at this Vrbo vacation home on Philip Island! The house was impeccably clean, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The quiet surroundings and the delightful fire pit added a special touch to our experience, making evenings memorable. With major supermarkets just a short 6-minute drive away, the location was incredibly convenient. We're already looking forward to choosing this vacation home again on our next visit to Philip Island!

This was a perfect home away from home!! Our young family of 5 stayed here for a couple of nights and loved it! Definitely will be back! Close to everything but away from the hustle bustle. The place was clean, comfortable and cosy. Well worth every dollar spent. They toys books to keep the kids entertained. Short walk to the beach was enjoyable. Truly a hidden gem in Phillip Island! Highly recommend! Thankyou for having us!

A relaxed extended stay for family.

We were 5 adults (family) and had a great stay. We did so many local activities from the penguin parade to surfing. The fire place inside and out were great as it was winter. The local shop a short walk away was handy and we visited Phillip Island winery. A fabulous stay. My only suggested feedback would be a clothesline for wetsuits or bathers and towels. But really everything else was perfect. Thank you for a memorable stay. Would definitely book again.

Bliss few days at Phillip Island..in our beautifully located cottage.

We were made aware promptly by Yenny of an unfortunate cleaner accident which slowed down our checking in till later in the day but this didnt really matter to us, because we were visiting a friend living nearby. It was an excellent, centrally located cottage which had extremely comfortable beds and all that we required including childrens toys for the duration of our stay from the Monday to Friday. And we were out most days visiting Ventnor beach, penguins 1st night, the Koala Conservation Park, Churchill Island twice because it was sooo interesting, Cowes for wonderful walks and gelati and Woolamai for shorebird spotting and wild surf on our way back to Melbourne.

Lovely Stay

This place was ideal for our 4 night stay to go to the World Superbike racing. It had 6 beds which ended being utilised after one daughter decided to meet us there and another that was camping at the track , was rain out. The place had everything we needed apart from a clothes line. Would recommend this place for a stay and would use again if we come back to the island.

Beautiful home away from home

We stayed at this house for a weekend and didn't want to leave! It's beautifully dressed, comfortable, warm and the fireplace adds to its charm. Yanni allowed us to stay longer than planned, and was very accommodating and easy to talk to. The kids enjoyed the toys and the books, and so .. we are coming back soon! Would recommend this place to anyone who loves beautiful quiet beaches and life. Thank you
