Ideally situated for sightseeing!
My husband and I, together with our indoors-only rescue cat, enjoyed staying at Kim's property. It was ideally situated for us to do all our planned sightseeing on Phillip Island with everything just minutes away. Aside from it being very convenient, the house was in a pleasant, quiet neighbourhood so it was very relaxing in the evenings. Inside it was clean and well-maintained plus comfortable. There was nothing to fault and we would happily recommend this property to others.

Phillip Island Escape
We wanted somewhere to stay that was not in the hustle and bustle of Cowes. Being in the middle of the island, "At The Beach" was centrally located to everything (eg. Nobbies, San Remo, Rhyll market, Churchill Is., Cowes, trail walks to Kilcunda, etc) so a car is essential. A supermarket is just a short drive to Woolamai. Set one block in from the highway, the accommodation is really comfortable and provides everything you need. Only two units on the block so very quiet and safe for children to play outside. Whilst the accommodation is not located at a safe swimming beach, Surf Beach is a beautiful location for a morning or evening walk along the sand and is very close to the unit. I noticed there is a coffee van and a pizza van located on the hwy 600 m away near the Bottle-O. There were only two of us however "At The Beach" easy accommodates up to 5 people.

Tidy villa in a good location
We really enjoyed our week stay at this villa. It was clean and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The beach wasn’t a far walk and we enjoyed our walks along the esplanade with our dog. Great secure dog friendly yard too! It was far enough off the highway that it wasn’t too noisy. We’ll be back to stay again!

Wonderful accommodation!
I shouldn't be leaving a review like this, as we intend returning and it might encourage more people to stay at Kims place, thus making it harder for us to book in the future. BUT Kims place delivered in spades. It suited us perfectly. Slightly off the highway so noise was at minimum, many condiments etc provided along with a welcoming bottle of red, very fresh and clean, wifi and TV, lots of pillows, easy parking, and no "house rules" posters in our face. If you decide to visit, please treat Kims place with respect as he provides great accommodation and a great service. cheers Peter

Great cosy villa in central location
My teenage son and I came for a surfing competition, and loved our stay. The villa was clean and light and had everything we needed. Was in a good central spot for exploring the island, and reasonably close to the beach. The weather was terrible when we came, and the villa had heating and was nice and cosy.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay. In close proximity of everything you would want to do on the island all while feeling in a nice and quiet, remote area. The price is well justified by the attention to detail and extras provided. Great indoor and outdoor area, and most improtantly, roaming bunnies at night, what more could you want!

Beautifully situated close to a dog friendly beach with amazing views (wallabys made a few appearances on the cliff tops) and also in a quieter part which suited us well. We could hear the waves.
