Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Nothing to disappoint at Endeavour Lodge, We spent most of our at home time on the balcony. What a fabulous view over to Nepean and Phillip Islands.
We were joined to one other unit but had no noise what so ever, Exceptionally quite location, all you hear are the surf from Cemetry Bay and the call of the many birds flying past the balcony.
Comfortable bed with lovely linen. Our own washing machine,washing detergent, clothes airer, and small outside line attached to unit.
Endeavour Lodge is a quality accommodation with lots of care for a guests comfort,
Thank you we had a great stay,
Judy and Ken

Relaxing, clean, well appointed. The hosts had thought of everything you needed for a week or longer stay. Comfortable King size beds plenty of storage and hanging space, plenty of powerpoints and usb charging points. The bathroom was roomy with washing machine, clothesline walk in shower, great ventilation and hairdryer etc. just to make you feel at home. The well appointed kitchen was easy to use and a full size fridge provided. Another thoughtful touch was a prepaid mobile fully charged with $5 credit to get you started plus tea, coffee and milk. The back balcony view was a lush tropical oasis followed by the ocean, Nepean and Philip Islands. Stepping out the front was another ocean view. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Endeavour Lodge and it would be our first choice on a return visit.

There's so much to love about Endeavour Lodge, and specifically the 3 bedroom Rainbows End home which were fortunate to stay for a week. Location is hard to beat with the house on the edge of the cliff overlooking Phillip Island and the beatiful bays of Norfolk, catching many of the seabrezes and views. 3 bedrooms, all have their own ensuite bathroom, with one including a Jacuzzi for that little extra indulgence. The kitchen is well appointed (with plenty of cookware, serving plates etc, large fridge/freezer, Nespresso machine). Lounge is comfortable with TV/Foxtel. Laundry with essentials. Garage for 2 cars (hire cars are easy). Internet on Norfolk is challenging with data limts (1Gb per person, per stay at Endeavour). There's even free bananas for guests from their garden! The home is presented well (clean, good linens), bed comfort is excellent. The only areas where I'd suggest the owners make some improvements would be more ceiling fans (needed on those summer nights), and ensure all windows/doors have options for insect screens.

My wife and I stayed at Endeavour Lodge initially because of it's perfect position overlooking part of the Kingston Settlement with great ocean views. The apartment is a meticulous, quality build with great ocean and sunset panoramic views. The apartment was absolutely impeccably clean beyond you would expect and my wife is extremely critical. The owners, Duncan and Gaywlyn, and staff go out of their way to make your stay special and nothing was too much trouble, The fully equipped kitchen is completely set up as you would at home. We had a late flight and the guest room was fully equipped to have lunch and a shower before we left. Fresh bananas were made available to all apartments. I would highly recommend Endeavour lodge for any future stays on Norfolk

This is a little out of town but we chose for the view's, which were spectacular. Apartment was clean and airy. Bedroom had huge comfy bed and single bed (not used), plenty of storage and also a multi port charger for electronic devices. Bathroom was large and supplied with extra large size bath towels,face washers, hand towels and bath mat, even complimentary toiletries and full size hair dryer. Washing machine in bathroom and folding clothes dryer located in robe, as well as pegs and plastic tub. Kitchen had everything we needed for our stay including beach towels, picnic basket and cooler bag for days out. We also met the owners who were friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this accommodation.

My Wife and I spent 5 nights at Endeavour Lodge last week and we would definitely go back! The hostess "Gaewin" was very helpful. The location is a bit out of town but we enjoyed the views and proximity to Emily Bay and Kingston....we walked to town a few times for exercise and I can say it takes 41 minutes, straight up Collins Rd.

We didn't want to leave!

We loved the outside balcony which sits like an eagles nest above the Norfolk Pines and gardens with filtered views of the Ocean and Kingston. We watched the birds (3 types of terms it looked like) dive and play and bicker....they would often come straight towards us, but would veer off a few metres from our balcony. It is very quiet because it is on a headland overlooking the sea at the end of Collins Road.

They gardens and hedge were perfect with cows coming to visit over the hedge in the mornings and evenings. I don't know how you get such good gardens as we never saw a gardener...perhaps they sneak in at night with their shears??

Everything we wanted was in it's place and the villas are relatively new, all made from Norfolk Pine and well looked after. Make sure you organise internet when you book in.

Thanks Gaewin and Duncan for doing such a great job. We'll be back, hopefully sooner than later.

I recently travelled solo to Norfolk Island and was blown away but its beauty and relaxed atmosphere. That was enhanced significantly by the beautiful accommodation I had at Endeavour Lodge.

Gaewyn and Duncan are such superb hosts, who clearly put so much care and attention into everything they do, including assisting their guests!

I stayed in a one-bedroom apartment and it was just perfect. Spacious, breezy, newly renovated bathroom, all the amenities you could possible think of, and a beautiful big breezy balcony that looks out over the valley and ocean beyond. A perfect spot to watch the sunset with a glass of wine.

The apartment is also fitted out with everything you could possibly want or need, including: a picnic basket, picnic rug, a thermos, a local mobile phone, some tupperware, a BBQ, a specific make-up removal face washer (I love this!!!), beach towels, salt & pepper, and all the normal crockery, linen etc that you could possibly need. It's the thoughtfulness of those extra little things that made Endeavour Lodge feel so warm, welcoming, and like a home away from home.

Thank you Gaewyn and Duncan for a tremendous stay. I can't wait to come back!

Greeted warmly by our host Gaewyn at the airport and given tips on places of interest on the short drive to the lodge. Our hire car was waiting outside our room for us. The units are very clean, well equipped and beds comfortable. The views are unbelievable. Extra touches like binoculars and picnic blankets, help yourself to their home grown bananas.
Wifi not great but there are plenty of places in town where you can access free wifi. Gaewyn and Duncsn are really lovely hosts.

Indulge in what must be one of the world’s few remaining unspoiled ocean-meets-cliffs landscapes from your very own well appointed self-contained unit.
Endeavour Lodge is a credit to all those involved in keeping the standard very high. Duncan and Gaewyn have thought of everything. We were even given grapefruit and pawpaws from their own orchard and hands of bananas (when available) hang in the fruit coop for guests to help themselves. It is indeed a lovely touch of kindness.
Bird life is abundant in the close lush valley views across to Emily Bay and beyond, we enjoyed from our unit.
All in all well deserving of its four Star Rating……we would like to give it a five.
