  a guest from Bergschenhoek, NA recommends this vacation rental

  The location was perfect, walking distance to everything. The apartment itself could use a good clean! There was a lot of dust in the bedrooms, the balcony was dirty and the windows have not been cleaned in a while. Also there was only cutlery for 3 persons. I would stay here again if i know that the place is clean.

  Edwina A from Hampton Park, VIC recommends this vacation rental

  We always book this apartment about twice yearly. It suits our needs for a nice break every time. We always find it clean when we get there. It is at walking distance to the beach, pub, restaurants, grocery stores and other amenities. The apartment is spacious enough to accommodate several people ( maximum 8 ) comfortably without invading each other’s space. We always have a great time when we go to this location. I would go back again next year and would recommend the place to anyone who would like a good beach holiday spot .

  Property condition:

  a guest from Pakenham, VIC recommends this vacation rental

  We enjoyed a 3 night stay at this property and found it to be very modern, exceptionally clean, neat and well presented.
  
  We were pleasantly surprised to find the pantry stocked with a range of condiments and also a few basic grocery items like sachets of breakfast cereal. Lots of cleaning supplies were also provided.
  
  The living area was very spacious. It opens onto a balcony where we could enjoy views of the beach through the trees when looking from one side of the balcony.
  
  The location is excellent - on the corner of The Esplanade, just a few steps from the beach and a short stroll from the jetty, shops and restaurants.
  
  The underground parking was also good, with an elevator in the basement taking us right up to our apartment entrance. You will build up muscles when opening the entrance door on the street when entering the apartment block - it is quite heavy to pull.
  
  Despite the living areas being very spacious and the bedrooms of a reasonable size, we did find both the main bathroom and the ensuite to be cramped.
  
  Check in and check out was easy - just call into First National Phillip Island on the way past to get the key, make your own way to the apartment (only 500 metres from their office), and drop the key back when you check out. We were advised that staff at First National are available 7 days a week if there are any issues, which we found to be much more reassuring than relying on dealing with a private property owner, who might not live anywhere near the property, to attend to any concerns we may have.
  
  I do think linen should be automatically included with properties like this, rather than having to pay extra for it and arrange for that service when booking, as most people don't travel around with clean bed sheets, pillow cases and towels packed in their car.
  
  Overall, highly recommended and we would certainly consider staying here again.

  Spacious apartment in top location on the waterfront combing spacious and comfortable interior with beach and pier mere steps away. A large balcony with bbq and large dining table perfect for outdoor dining or pre dinner drinks enjoying water views. Off street parking also provided. North Pier Hotel directly opposite apartment and Cowes Main Street two minutes walk away. Our only disappointments ... Wifi not provided, no smart tv so forget streaming your fav Netflix or Binge show. Tariff also does not include linen. At the price both wifi and linen should be a given.

  The property was in a great location in Cows. The beach was just across the street and main shopping street just a block away. The accommodation was clean and the beds were comfortable. The only thing that needed a good clean was the balcony glass. Overall very happy with the apartment.

  May G from Narre Warren, VIC recommends this vacation rental

  Very pleasantly surprised. Apartment was very clean and nicely decorated with almost everything you need for a short stay. The only things missing are a table or storage drawers/cupboard in the third bedroom; having just a bunk bed in a room is not practical. I would also suggest a clock in the kitchen/lounge area and a sign next to the switch to the oven which is near impossible to find being black on black.
  Be careful when booking. We had apartment 9 and although it is advertised as "with a view", there is no sea view from this particular apartment.

  A great place to stay we walked everywhere. The property's location is fantastic. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back. Rooms are a great size clean and tidy.
  In the evening we sat out on the balcony taking in the views with the beach just across the street.
  
  We were fortunate enough on this visit to have the Cowes Esplanade /beach market.
  
  
  There is also a great little coffee shop downstairs that makes the best egg, bacon and cheese focaccias.
  
  Linen is an additional cost. We recommend bringing your own pillows as the ones supplied are not the most desirable.
  
  The master bedroom has a small TV we felt it should be wall mounted as it sits on a low stand and a bit hard to watch while in bed.
  
  There is a BBQ on the balcony however we didn't use it as it didn't look clean.
  
  The vacuum cleaner could also do with replacing as the one in the apartment is not the best.
  
  We have stayed in this apartment many times and overall we love coming back as often as we can.
  Just Brilliant!

  Unfortunately wasn’t the cleanest which could be due to Covid but nonetheless wasn’t cheap either.
