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.

Functions, Celebrations and Schoolies

Great holiday

We loved the house and loved discovering some of the many things that Phillip Island has to offer.Our only problem was difficulty with the TV reception but we had a great time.

Modern, comfortable and spacious

Our family of 5 were very pleased with the property. Having 2 bathrooms with 4 Adults and one teen was a definite bonus. All appliances were modern and well stocked crockery and cutlery. A few more smaller pans and microwavable bowls would be good but that was not an issue for us. Communications with the property managers was excellent. It was only a 25 minute walk to a section of beach that is great for dogs too. Will definitely book again. Thanks.
