What an exceptional set up Richard and Evie have! Beautiful rooms and a stunning central drawing room/breakfast room that’s warm and comfortable. Richard and Evie are very warm and welcoming and know each guest by first name. Nothing is too much trouble. The bed we had was the best we’d had so far on our holiday and the breakfasts were superb. No hesitation whatsoever in recommending Glen Isla as place to stay if visiting Phillip Island.

Cowes is a beautiful cultural town on the island.

Cowes is a beautiful cultural town on the island. We had dinner at a different restaurant each night! Italian, Greek, Thai, Japanese and Gelato for dessert - we couldn't fit any others in but there's many more. All the food was amazing. The Island itself provides such a vast amount of activities to do from Peguins, beaches, lookouts, kids entertainment, parks, wineries it has it all!

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.

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.

the apartment was amazing - our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer! We spent one night on Phillip Island so we could go to the penguin parade. the apartment is perfectly located for this and for popping into Cowes, which has plenty of shops and eateries. beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean, there wasn’t anything we would change - lovely warm welcome and explanation of how things worked!
