It is common in the region for some linen to be provided for bookings, and some linen to be available as an optional extra.

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.

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.

Short Family Getaway
Our 3-bedroom apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. There are fantastic facilities onsite, and as we had fanily from overseas with us, the Ramada Resort was in a great location close to Cowes and the Fairy Penguin attraction. We also visited the wildlife park just across the road, and our guests LOVED it. There were a couple of things that let us down, the main one being the buffet breakfast. We arrived towards the end of the dining time, and had to ask for plates, cutlery, and even if more food would be coming out, as all the trays were empty. It was a well priced breakfast....but not if there's nothing to eat. A few items were topped up, onky fir guests who had already eaten to stack their plates high and a few in our group missed out again. Staff were very busy (and friendly) and I felt that we were hassling them and so just managed to eat a few items that were topped up. Would highly suggest going when the breakfast opens so you have some choice of what to eat.

Very comfortable, great facilities and location
We loved our stay! Plenty of room for our family of 4, plus a grandparent. Whilst still being warm and cosy on a cold winter weekend. We enjoyed the facilities & the location was perfect to access all that Phillip Island has to offer. Thank you, we will be back!

So much to do
This is perfect for a family or group of friends. It’s really clean and nice and cosy. The park has so many things to do though if you want to eat in the restaurant for dinner I would highly recommending booking well in advance and if you wanting to ride the pedal karts make sure you go over and book it in early morning. They are a lot of fun! We had a really pleasant stay and would stay again if we ever go back over that way.

Phillip Island at your doorstep
The villa was a great option for a 3 days stay on Phillip Island close to all the main attractions and the local shops. Great amenities within the resort to entertain the teenagers with some independence.

Great resort, modern spacious villa.
Our teen family of four enjoyed this property. The villa was spacious and modern, beds were comfy. Heating worked well. The resort facilities were great, we loved the indoor pool and spa for our winter stay. Resort staff were friendly and helpful. Close to Cowes township, a couple of minutes by car.

Weekend getaway
The cabin was very spacious & well stocked with everything. The supplied pods for the coffee machine were decaffeinated so if you want the good stuff you can pre-buy @ Aldi. The facilities were excellent! We spent all day in all 3 pools. However we could not get wifi in the common area & the bike/carts were $25 each to hire. Sheets and towels are extra cost so we brought our own.

Definitely not 4 stars
Bbq was dirty, frying pan was dirty, coffee pod machine was full of used pods, very surprised there was no sugar or maybe a small milk, we weren’t told this wasn’t available….cleanliness of the cutlery was appalling, whoever is servicing this apartment needs a rocket….a telephone is there that is not connected..odd we thought….no internet and if there was…no password….a few spa towels might have helped, course we had to use our bath towels….sheets were clean though….this apartment certainly needs an upgrade…..

Clean and easy accommodation
Nice little villa, no issues with it other than low water pressure for the showers but that's not uncommon. Lots of amenities and activists to do within the resort or nearby. Close to the town and main attractions.

Great family stay with a perfect central location
We found this resort a perfect location fir our family. The cabin was private and had room for our family of 4. The Address of where you are staying is confusing online. It was a better location than where we thought. I would recommend this location for a family getaway.

Basic but comfortable enough
Good location just out of town, easy drive to everywhere on the island. Property was as expected, pretty basic but comfortable enough. No soap in bathrooms or toilets was a bit disappointing.

Cozy and accessible
Nice placed tucked in quiet area just near town, house was cozy and well equipped but a little dusty and had a musty smell, needed a bit of airing out and air freshener to get rid of smell. Wifi was not working (which was a good thing for us so we weren’t using our techs for 2 days). Resort facilities were old and unkempt. Outdoor Pools were not cleaned but maybe because nobody uses them during winter. Indoor pool and spa was ok. Generally, it’s a good place for staycation with family but a bit disappointing if you’re expecting to use facilities and you really can’t.

Not what we were expecting
The cleanliness was poor. Heavy dust on fans, dust on kitchen shelves, found dirty mugs in cupboards. The dishwasher was broken, and a problem with kitchen faucet aswell. There was only one frying pan, and no basic cooking condiments like salt and pepper. There wasn't enough cutlery, 5 forks when the unit accommodates 6. The area is for the "resort people" so when staying in a private owned unit everything seemed to be extra. And there was absolutely no wifi anywhere as we were not with the "resort". However the beds were comfy and the bedrooms and bathrooms seemed clean. So that was good.
