I visited Phillip Island as a solo traveller and booked into The Island Accommodation for 2 for nights initially, but enjoyed my time so much I booked an extra night. I would have stayed longer if I had had the time. I was staying in a 4 bed mixed dorm, it was really spacious, clean and I had my own... More

We booked this accommodation through Red Balloon and were under the impression that it was a hotel- so were a little surprised when we got there. It was a lovely place though, our room was bright and clean and the bathroom was lovely. The kitchen was well equipped and very clean. It had a lovely atmosphere and was well kept-... More

Myself and the three friends I stayed with at this hostel thought it was fantastic. We booked a mixed four bed ensuite dorm and it suited us all down to the ground. I have stayed in over 100 different hostel all over the world and this one definately stacked up. It is new, clean, (linen provided), lockable boxes under each... More

Being sold this property based on the fact that it had a YHA name next to it was a total misconception. The room was overpriced at $155 for a double with an ensuite, which was basically a box overlooking a shed with no aircon (the first dot point on the website mentions aircon but it is only in the common...

A good quality hostel on Phillip island with easy access to many of the attractions and beaches. It is a quiet spot, so be aware of that, the evenings can be very quiet. If you are surfing you will need a car, but I found a good way to get a round is to rent one of their mountain bikes,... More

Is a really good hostel, one of the best equipped there i've been, and the staff is quite good as well. But is far from touristic places, so i really recommend this hostel if you're going to Phillip Island by car or a guided tour.

Phillip Island is a large island, we are ideally situated at the gateway, a short walk to the supermarket, pubs and restaurants and close to some of the Islands most popular attractions.

Staying in what is basically a Youth Hostel one would expect a party atmosphere at night. This wasn't the case here. It is run with consideration for other guests comfort. While our double room had spartan decor, the other facilities made up for it with a hugh communal kitchen,lounge,TV rooms,cafe,bike hire and very helpful staff.The piped music was unobtrussive
