Make yourself at home in our tastefully decorated and superbly appointed holiday retreat ~ an affordable getaway for the whole family to enjoy.

Take time out from the city to relax. Dine out at one of the Island's many tempting restaurants, cruise the bay on a ferry, or check out some of the other exciting attractions the island has to offer!

Enjoy a game of golf, go surfing, go swimming, see the Penguin Parade, take the kids to Amaze'n'Things, visit one of the wildlife sanctuaries and cuddle the koalas, feed the pelicans at San Remo Jetty, wander around the pretty township of Cowes, do some shopping, go ten-pin bowling, take one of the numerous delightfully planned walks, visit nearby Churchill Island or just go fishing... Phillip Island has the lot!

Very clean and comfortable.
The house is actually very large. From the outside you would never guess how large and roomy it is. We were very happy and it really felt like home. The kids had seperate areas to the adults which was great. Would definitely recommend this property.

Excellent property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had a few issues getting into the property but we're able to contact the owners for help very easily. Great house with two tv areas and a separate lounge, perfect for our family group.

Island Haven is very spacious and modern. Conveniently located just 5 mins from main street in Cowes, it was the ideal location for the family.I loved the kitchen and the extra t.v room towards the rear of the house was perfect, just like a mini cinema.The kids loved the fact that there was a playground just 2 minutes from the house.Would definately stay there again.

Island Haven, as it's name states, a great place to live. House was nice and big but at the same time has the feel of closeness. Plenty of beds for everyone with 2 seperate tv areas to suit the children and adults. Home Theatre room was absolutely awesome too. Close to the beach for fishing or swimming. An alfresco for the bbq. A great place to be at for a very reasonable price. Thanks for allowing us to stay there. Hope to be back there again some day.
