“Very OK for Phillip Island”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We spent just 1 night in this motel but we had a very good impression of it. Location is perfect, just 2 minutes walking distances from Cowes main intersection with shops and restaurants. It is an excellent base for visiting the various attractions of Phillip Island. The rooms are wide has everything you usually need, beds are confortable. There is even a small pool. The owners are very helpful and nice (one of them even Italian-speaking!).
We enjoyed Phillip Island, just one thing: be careful the Penguin parade is presented like a TV-show rather than a nature phenomenon. The penguins are forecast to appear at .. 21:07 .. and they do! All people watching (and freezing) like in a theater. Good for kids, although penguins are so beatiful... there are many other things to do in Phillip Island though.

“Relaxing stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

Very nice relaxing motel. Excellent location, friendly staff. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. It had heated electrical blanket! The AC was quiet. It had VCR and DVR players and videos at the reception.
Nothing luxury but the room had microwave, fridge, toaster, kettle - all you need for comfortable and budgetary stay. We arrived to the motel right after hiking a long trail and asked about the spa. It was turned especially for us and in 15 minutes we enjoyed the outdoor spa.

Room Tip: We stayed in room 10. Rooms 9-12 are on the first floor, each has separate small verandas with small...

“Great Location, Get What You See”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2011

Nice enough motel with friendly staff in great location. Typical motel so don't expect much. Clean, comfortable and excellent wifi. Not a destination but you get what this motel claims it is.

“Never again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

This was the second time I had stayed here as it was impossible to get accomodation anywhere else as we were travelling in a peak period.

During my first stay in 2010, I was warned by my friends about the rude owners who gave them a lecture upon arrival, the second night we were all relaxing in the spa in the afternoon and one of the owners walked out and turned it off on us, but we did still have a good weekend.

Second stay, was a nightmare. Our queen bed was broken, one of the wheels had actually broken off and so the bed tilted when you tried to sleep on it, the couch was falling apart and had rips all down one cushion. The old woman stuck her head into our room at about 11pm to see what we were doing, (We were just watching the footy and one of us was sitting outside having a smoke) So I requested a new room for the last night where only 2 ppl were staying, so we got moved to a standard room, the freezer didnt work, no cooking facilities, shower curtain that stuck to you - it was really lucky we are easy going people who have fun regardless. I dont recommend you stay here, I payed 285 a night for that crap! not worth it.
