Notes from the host
The Cottage Near the Beach
SPECIAL FOR UPCOMING SEPTEMBER SCHOOL HOLIDAYS:
Bedlinen and Towels supplied free of charge for all guests
Our photo's give a true representation of The Cottage, no photo-shopping was applied.
Positioned in sought after Rose Avenue, Cowes, we are welcoming small families or groups to our relaxed cottage, just 100 m from the beach.
We have recently finished the second part of our renovation and hope that you enjoy the changes to our bedrooms and bathroom.
Spend lazy summer days by the beach in one of the best locations on Phillip Island.
Close enough to enjoy a stroll along the foreshore into Cowes or just spend your days on the beach enjoying the views across the water to French Island and beyond.
In winter, relax by the fire, warm up after you spend hours exploring the Island during the day, and from June on, maybe catch a sight of Whales passing along the coast.
Enjoy chasing Aurora Australis along our south facing coast, a sight not to be missed!
Situated within a native garden setting, our cottage gives you easy access to the beautiful, child friendly north facing beaches of Cowes.
The Cottage features a small undercover entertaining area facing north. We supply a BBQ and outdoor table setting for your convenience.
Entering the house, you are stepping into the Kitchen/Dining Room and next to this the living room. Please note that there is a wood heater in this area (we do supply wood for your stay in winter)
When Phillip Island weather is not at its best, choose a DVD from our collection and watch a movie with every one, or find your special spot in the Cottage, put your feed up and read one of the many books we provide. Get together around the table and try to finish one of the many puzzles.
