Great getaway!
The unit was lovely - clean and well appointed for a short stay. Only 10 minute walk to everything on offer at Cowes. Short drive to all other attractions on the island. Thanks to the hosts for making us feel so welcome at Butterfly House!

A gem of a place!
Stayz had seemingly messed up our booking, which I noticed at the last minute and contacted the owner about. Arlette was very patient and offered me options, which I appreciated. The house was immaculate and cosy. Beds were clean abd comfy and enough clean towels etc. Supermarkets are a 20 min walk away and the beach just a little further. Quiet location, though near a main road. The small outdoor area was lovely to sit in with a cuppa. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Perfect Phillip island getaway!
A lovely property with everything you need for your stay. In a very quiet location but walking distance to the animal park and a five minute drive to the town and beach. Arlette was a very helpful host and the house is well kitted out if you want to cook at home. One thing to note is the address on stayz says lansell street but the property is actually on lansell road.

Very easy booking process and owners very nice and easy communicators. Cute house. Very cozy! Kids room could have more character and electric blankets but otherwise very comfy place to stay. Love the little courtyard!!!
