About this property

The Cottage-100m to beach, dog friendly


Our photo's give a true representation of The Cottage, no photo-shopping was applied.



Positioned in sought after Rose Avenue, Cowes, we are welcoming small families or groups to our relaxed cottage, just 100 m from the beach.

Spend lazy summer days by the beach in one of the best locations on Phillip Island.
Close enough to enjoy a stroll along the foreshore into Cowes or just spend your days on the beach enjoying the views across the water to French Island and beyond.
In winter, relax by the fire, warm up after you spend hours exploring the Island during the day, and from June on, maybe catch a sight of Whales passing along the coast.
Enjoy chasing Aurora Australis along our south facing coast, a sight not to be missed!

Situated within a native garden setting, our cottage gives you easy access to the beautiful, child friendly north facing beaches of Cowes.
The Cottage features a small undercover entertaining area facing north. We supply a BBQ and outdoor table setting for your convenience.
Entering the house, you are stepping into the Kitchen/Dining Room and next to this the living room. Please note that there is a wood heater in this area (we do supply wood for your stay in winter)
When Phillip Island weather is not at its best, choose a DVD from our collection and watch a movie with every one, or find your special spot in the Cottage, put your feed up and read one of the many books we provide. Get together around the table and try to finish one of the many puzzles.

Through the hallway, you reach the 3 bedrooms, as well as the bathroom and the laundry/additional toilet.

Beach holiday at its best!

Hands down one of the best stays in Philip Island - this is coming from a family of 3 who frequents the island( 3-4 times a year) We got extremely lucky with this property- location is superb! Swimming, walking, playing on the beach were daily activities. Coffees and food - only a short stroll away. The house is convenient and has everything for a comfortable long term stay. A beach holiday can not get better than that. The hosts are real gems - wonderful people, communicative and very welcoming. We would love to stay again soon. I, my teenage son and our doggo are very grateful for this beautiful break.

Toddler and Dog friendly getaway

We stayed with a almost 4 year old toddler and an old dog. The property was quite lovely and very family friendly- we felt right at home. Plenty of board games and books to enjoy. The property has plenty of cleaning sprays etc , as well as clothes washing powder. There really wasn’t anything we needed to bring. Garden is gorgeous and secure fencing for kid and dog. Veranda for outdoor dining and watching rain / lightning. It really is close to a family friendly beach - the water is great for wading or swimming. A short walk and you can explore the caves. We spent a lot of time on the beach. Took our dog down there also - there are restrictions on the times during Summer; but that didn’t bother us as we took her down in morning and after tea. Neighbours were very quiet- it is very peaceful there. Saw an Echidna in a neighbouring property and plenty of kookaburras about. This was a great property and we made some beautiful family memories.

Relaxing Cottage Stay

Well appointed Cottage perfect for a relaxing stay. Positioned amongst beautiful bush garden which attracted many birds including a baby Kookaburra. Great location with the Silverleaves beach very close by, a short walk to the lawn bowls club and footy oval and comfortable walk along Lovers Walk into Cowes.

So comfortable, feels like home away from home.

This is the second time I’ve stayed at The Cottage and we’ll be back again next year. Katja & Jon are fabulous hosts and very responsive to any queries I had. The house has everything you could need on a holiday, the beach close by for beautiful day and lots of board games, puzzles, books etc for those rainy day. Beautiful & relaxing.

Mini getaway

We had a wonderful relaxing few days at Rose Cottage recently and would recommend it to anyway looking for a place to stay on PI. Proximity to the beach and shops was perfect. The cottage has everything you need and more with a well stocked kitchen, bedding and lots of activities for the cooler evenings when indoors. Pets were well accommodated for as well. We had a great time just a pity it went to fast.

The Cottage

Very welcoming cosy cottage in a perfect position close to the water and the town. Comfortable beds and linen. Loved the bottle of wine and chocolates lots of wood for the heater and very warming for a wet and cold day. Rooms well set up for family with oodles of games and books. The only negative I would report is that the kitchen needs a good clean and the utensils and pots and pans need a lot of sorting out
