“A gem on the Island”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

A wonderful B&B. My boyfriend and I booked in last minute over the Australia Day long weekend using wotif.com. Glen Isla matched the wotif description perfectly. Upon check in, our host described features of the area and recommendd some lovely restaurants for dinner. We stayed in the oriental room which was lovely and comfortable. Highlights were complimentary water in our room, plus tea and biscuits which we enjoyed in the afternoon before headed out to dinner (at one of the recommended restaurants, just lovely). After dinnre and a visit to the night market we returned to our room and enjoyed a (complimentary) bit of port before bedtime. The next morning we were treated to a delicious gourmet breakfast before heading off exploring to the farmer's market. All around, Glen Isla house is a great place to stay on the island - great location, lovely rooms, lovely hosts and very comfortable. Highly recommended!

“Beautiful accommodation and fantastic service”

My husband booked the beautiful Glen Isla House for our wedding anniversary and it really lived up to the reviews on trip advisor. Great accommodation, fantastic location and lovely hosts who were extremely helpful. I would recommend Glen Isla House for anyone wanting a special getaway in Phillip Island slightly off the beaten track.

“Comfort, elegance and privacy all served by the friendliest people topped with a delicious first class breakfast.”

We never felt like we were paying customers, instead we felt that we were being cared for by friends who simply wanted us to relax. Comfortable bed, quiet and beautiful surroundings made the place a retreat.
