Forget the car. A leisurely 10min stroll takes you to Cowes Main Street and in less than 5 mins you are at one of the quieter Cowes beaches. This house is perfect for a family get together. The large kitchen living area opens up onto an undercover deck via a bifold door. A seperate games room and large back yard with lawn games keep the kids young and old entertained. A fully secure backyard in case you wish to bring pets although council rules legislate that a maximum of 2 dogs can be on the property. Pets to remain outdoors, but please advise us in your enquiry if you wish to bring pets. There is a ramp leading to the front door for easy access for roller suitcases and prams.

House was great for group stay easy location to centre of Cowes
Facilities excellent for entertainment everything you need Close to beach just a short walk
Penguins on Church was a well maintained, clean and well appointed rental. It had everything provided for a great stay. It was very clean and we valued the small touches such as bath mats, hand towels, soap and air diffusers. The gardens were lovely and the backyard grass was immaculate. Would definitely stay there again.
The house was spotless and the kitchen had everything we needed. Beautiful outdoor area and back yard. Close to everything. We have booked again for next year.
Great home to share with family we had 10 of us from 8 weeks to 66 and everyone felt comfortable.
The games room was a hit
Kitchen was well stocked and large enough for preparing food for the troops.
Will re book again.
Family of 8 adults thoroughly enjoyed the comfortable and relaxing space. A homely space with a super fun games room.
Short walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. Great cooking facilities and bbq to feast at home too. Highly recommended!!!
We recently stayed here for Easter holidays. We’ve stayed in various houses in Phillip Island and this is the best location and house we’ve stayed in. It is perfect and has everything you need! Thank you Margaret, we will be back and stay again. 😊
The house is beautiful and immaculately kept. Backyard and games room was perfect for the kids. Proximity to main St shops and the beach made this property the perfect choice for our family vacation. Margaret was super helpful and lovely to deal with. Will always recommend this place and hope to be back one day.
We booked this house for our children and grandchildren and we had a wonderful stay. Everything about the house was perfect and the Games room was well equipped for all sorts of activities which helped when it rained. We visited the Penguin Parade and the Koala Conservation and we would highly recommend both.
We had a fantastic stay. We had a large family group including 6 teenagers, and the house suited us perfectly. Everyone had their own space and we were close enough to town that people could split off independently without needing a lift. The kitchen is extremely well kitted out and we used it most nights to stay in as there was heaps of entertainment at the house. We would definitely stay there again.
Disability organization - supporting group of 6 adults on a much-deserved weekend away. Group had an absolute ball and loved staying in a home like house rather than a big school camp set up. Made them feel very inclusive indeed.
Family and pet friendly clean, modern home in a great location. The property had everything we wanted, including thoughtful comforts. We loved our strolls from the house along the beach to the main street. Can’t wait to rebook next time.
We had a lovely stay at Penguins on Church. The house was perfectly sized to accommodate 9 adults with large dining table, couch and outdoor area plus the bonus of a well equipped kitchen.
Certainly didn't run out of things to do with the games room and an array of board games to play. Spoilt with location too right near the beach and main street.
Would love to come back again and will recommend to others!
A great location on the island. The house was perfect. The photos online do not do it justice. Very big and spacious in person, easily accommodating 3 families while still allowing all to have their own space. Games room was a big hit with the teens and the back yard was perfect for the little ones to run around.
Really lovely home, located just 3/4 minutes from the main road of Cowes. Lots of games to do with the kids, plenty of space with 5 bedrooms.
Clean and tidy, everything accessible and presentable. Will absolutely be returning here down the road!!
Thanks
Great home. Photos don't do it justice. Kids loved the games shed. Close to everything. Cannot fault. Owner is super accommodating and communication is fantastic.
