Great modern property for a bunch of us down for the MotoGP. Reasonable walk to Cowes restaurants/shops etc (around 15 minutes) and very close to the bus routes. Plenty of room in multiple bedrooms large lounge/kitchen area and plenty of off street parking. There was a small issue with the washing machine but not a game changer and the host communicated well to try to fix the problem. Would definitely book this house again.

This holiday house in Cowes, Phillip Island, is a fantastic choice. It offers a safe environment for kids, and its proximity to the island's attractions is convenient. The house itself is charming and well-equipped, and the owners are attentive and hospitable. Highly recommended for a memorable vacation.

The place should not be advertised to accommodate 12 people with space for only a 3 seater couch in an extremely tiny living area. The kitchen is very old and smelly. There were mice inside the house and they had a feast on our bread loaf. Fire place was a warm welcome but not much space to allow few adults to sit around and enjoy. The back yard is spacious and green, basketball ring keeps children busy and SPA is a relaxing escape. The back room is modern and clean but TV was not working.

The Island Shack was in a perfect location and just amazing for a family. The property provided so much room and area for activities for our kids. The TV barely went on! Spa was definitely a relaxing bonus after the taxing past few years we have had!

It was amazing! Very easy from the start of the process of renting it to the very end. The only thing I would say is the kitchen is very small, I'd recommend renovating a bigger one as the house does sleep 12. We had 6 of us and found it very clustered and hard to work in the kitchen over all great place though
