Tyabb

"Bed was way too soft in the middle causing uncomfortable night. The walls had patch repairs looked very rough. Shower pressure was very low. Half a roll of toilet paper only supplied. Heating didn’t work. Parking was not very well marked out. Did not say anywhere that the hotel is situated right beside a local aerodrome and would be planes coming in and out from 7am in the morning. Feels like it could really do with a good spruce up to a better level of quality"

Top Cowes Hotel Reviews

North Pier Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean good size room, water view, parking in front of room. Helpful friendly staff. Great bistro."

The Waves Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"This was an overnight stay after penguin parade as I did not want to drive straight back to Melbourne. The hotel-apartment was clean and right next to the harbour front / beach. Instructions on how to get into the apartment and where the key was were sent ahead of arrival and as described. As I arrived and left outwith the front desk’s opening hours, I did not have actual in person interaction with the team. Email communications were very clear. Will stay again if I am in Philip Island."

Hilltop Apartments Phillip Island - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, spacious, updated, place to stay on Phillip island convenient to all the places of interest, especially the Nobbies and Penguin parade. The King bed was very comfortable. Chris, the host met us at check in and showed us around the apartment. The deck was a nice plus overlooking the beautifully maintained gardens surrounding the apartment and the sea in the distance. I wish we could have stayed longer!"
