Our group of 6 participants with mild intellectual disabilities and 2 staff enjoyed our stay at Dolphin Cottage. Comfortable, clean and everything we needed was here. A very short walk to the beach and great views from the balcony. We will definitely be looking at coming back next time we come to Phillip Island.

It was a pleasure to stay at this property. Was exactly as described and being so close to the beach and a general store gave us everything we needed. Karen was excellent to deal with and very supportive of our changing plans due to lockdowns etc. The property had everything we needed for a coastal vaycay and our dog loved the walks and backyard. Thank you Karen!

Property was perfect for us. Following a long Melbourne lockdown I escaped with my husband, mother and adult daughter for a peaceful comfortable break. Lots of walking on the beach and relaxing. Kitchen was well-equipped so we were able to cook and hang out. We enjoyed being here so much. Can’t wait to come back again.
