The host Simmone was extremely friendly and helpful. We ate at the restaurant she recommended (Bani) and it was good. She made us feel welcome. She also prepares welcome cookies, red wine, fruits and breakfast was simple but nice. These may seem "little" things but are differentiators compared to any others which don't go the extra mile.

The accommodation was still new, fresh, clean and well maintained. It was furnished with High speed internet connection (did we mentioned it's actually STARLINK?) As an IT guy myself, I was so happy. The kids (we have two boys) can watch their cartoons on youtube and NETFLIX undisturbed and I can continue on working on my project. The kitchen have everything you need to cook whatever you want. The gas stove was excellent, and it has a Diswasher as well!! It also only 4 minutes drive away from Cowes' Jetty and Coles and Woolies and Gas Stations and restaurants. We were visiting my sister who lives in Corinella and I cannot be more happier with everything The Gap Retreat have to offer. Nit to mention that the owners (Mark & Savannah) are very helpful with everything. We were so happy to habe found this place and are planning to absolutely stay there again when we travel to Phillip Island in the future.

Amazing and unique place to stay in a very peaceful residential area of Cowes, the main town of Phillip Island. Vanessa was a fantastic host and very welcoming. She allowed us to stay a little longer than checkout since no one else was arriving, which gave us more time to explore the beautiful island. Cereal, bread and milk were provided for breakfast, along with Vanessa's homemade jam. The bed was huge and comfy. Really wish we could have had more than one night.

We had a fantastic stay at this spacious and spotless holiday home, just a short drive from the Penguin Parade. The house was very clean and well-equipped, with a full kitchen that made cooking easy and convenient. The heater kept the home warm and comfortable throughout our stay. Another big plus was the location — it's close to grocery stores and other local shops, which made it easy to grab essentials. A great choice for families or groups wanting a comfortable and convenient base to explore Phillip Island. Highly recommended!

    Great central spot for our visit to Philip Island attractions - Penguin Parade, Nobbies, Vietnam Vets Museum ... all great places to spend some time. As well as visiting some lovely places to eat! Didn't make it to the Markets ... maybe next time!

    The penguins were an essential visit and didn’t disappoint.

    The penguins were an essential visit and didn’t disappoint. Lots of wildlife to see. Local venues had live music and the food was wonderful. Only draw back is Cowes seems to shut down after 10pm, so need your own entertainment after that, we just listened to the ocean and relaxed.

    Cowes is a lovely shore side town on Phillip Island.

    Cowes is a lovely shore side town on Phillip Island. It is at the far end of the island from the bridge to cross over to the island. The town is well equipped with all softs of shops, and is a good spot to use as a base to travel around the island and experience all the sights that are available.

    Cowes is a cool climate beach and water. If you cannot afford cost or time to get warmer water, enjoy what is affordable at Cowes. If you want extras, try half-hour drive to San Remo pub, or one hour to Wonthaggi.

    We did a mosaics class at Mosaics by the Bay, located in Ventnor. I've been to Cowes a few times and the shopping and restaurants are very good. The beach is really nice. It is very easy to get around. It can be very busy during peak seasons. There are the penguin parade, whale watching certain times of the year, adventure parks, mini golf at Grumpy's. There is a lot to do for couples as well as families.

    A very picturesque place.

    A very picturesque place. The Vietnam Veterans Museum was great. The Penguin Parade was also good, albeit the little critters didn't want to play the game the night we were there. The local RSL was also very good and had some great meals.

    The location is private and secluded. Great natural light in the lounge room, with a beautiful breeze flowing through when balcony doors are opened. The decor was fresh. The home was incredibly clean! I wasn't aware The Block Auction weekend was on at Cowes. We walked past to look at the house boards and Mimi popped out to say G'day. A wonderful surprise! Exceptional owners. They are extremely efficient and very easy to deal with. A+ in our books 👏
