Nice and quiet place to have some personal time.
2-night trip

10/10

We stayed 4 nights in a 4th floor water view apartment on Phillip Island and found it very convenient and comfortable. The bedroom opened on to the balcony with lovely views and sunshine. We had a Queen size bed, large TV, free Internet, reverse cycle aircon and plenty of drawer and cupboard space as well as a large bench/desk area. The bathroom is in the middle of the apartment and was good with a large spa bath and complimentary toiletries. The kitchen/lounge/dining area can be closed off with a sliding door and has its own small oil heater, a good-sized fridge/freezer, a microwave, 2 hotplates and rangehood. Access is via the ground level carpark with security, reserved parking spaces and a quick lift. There is a reception area but we didn’t actually need to go there for anything. We liked the location a lot, it’s tucked away at the end of town and very quiet but close to restaurants and shops and across the road from the water.

A perfect place to stay. Within walking distance to the nicest restaurants and so close to the markets and nightlife. The room was so nice and spacious with lots of storage. The only thing I would like is a full size ironing board. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
