Linen

It is common in the region for some linen to be provided for bookings, and some linen to be available as an optional extra. By default, a booking at this home does not include optional linen (top & bottom sheets, bath towels and pillowcases). What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for. The additional cost would be a one-off charge of $30 per bed (some sites add a service fee to these costs) - and we prefer 7 days' notice prior to your arrival to get that arranged.

Peak Periods

Please note that during the peak summer period and other peak times, check in times are set as 3pm (unless by prior arrangement). Please also note that if you avail of the optional linen hire over these times, it may involve linen being left out but beds not being made up.

Location
Very happy with location of this property. 5 minute walk to boat ramp/beach - great for our 4 month old puppy. Then an easy 30 minute walk along beach into centre of Cowes. We only used the downstairs area as only two of us but looks like it could sleep another 6 upstairs, with another seating area and bathroom. Property had everything we needed.and was very clean. Will definitely book again next time we visit the Island.

A short break
We stayed at High Tide for a winter weekend break. It was clean and warm and had everything we needed. Comfy beds, Netflix and pod coffee machine! The small yard was perfect for our escapee dog and the beach is a handy distance for taking her for a walk. Would stay again.

LOST DOG!!!
The house was fine etc BUT the bloody gate in the backyard did not close properly and my purebred English Staffy got out on Friday night!!! We had to search the neighbourhood for 3 hours, called the police, until someone finally found him and let us know… this was the worst feeling I’ve ever had losing our family dog! My daughter was crying for hours. And all because the “secure” backyard was NOT secure!!! If our dog wasn’t found there would be a lawsuit attached to this message. Claiming the yard is secure when it WAS NOT is false advertsing and couldn’t cost us our family pet… so no, I’m not happy! The house was fine but EVERYTHING was over shadowed by losing our dog on Friday night…

Perfect location and layout
We stayed with extended family - the layout of the house was brilliant. The addition of the extra TV upstairs with games console was great for the kids. We had some friends over for dinner and the outdoor table and Bbq were excellent for entertaining. More than happy with property

Modern, clean, very comfortable
In an excellent location, this residence had everything we needed for a very comfortable weekend stay. The beds were super comfy, the bathrooms very clean, secure yard for our dogs, well appointed kitchen with everything you need (we just brought our own sharp knife - because we are fussy!). Heaps to see in Phillip Island and all easily accessible from this home. Very quiet neighbourhood and very private. We will visit again!
