Great family and disability friendly motel

Reviewed By Gowheelchairs

Friendliest managers ever who went out of their way to be helpful. My wife and I (retirees) stayed 4 nights in a two room unit; bedroom and lounge-full kitchen. All spacious and very clean with plenty of room (even for couples with two children). There is a kids' playground, a pool and BBQ; all family friendly. This unit is totally wheelchair friendly; no step at front door. My manual wheelchair moved around the lounge easily and I accessed the toilet and shower easily (shower chair provided, wall bars at toilet and shower). A TV in the bedroom as well as one in the lounge room; that's practical. Talking about practical, they even had the gear to pump up the tyres on my wheelchair. Conveniently located to everything but for those of us in manual wheelchairs -outside of the motel precinct, Cowes is a hilly area.

Reviewed By Jenny H

Stayed in a king room down the back of the complex and were so pleasantly surprised by our room. Absolutely lovely! The bed gobbled us up and we slept beautifully. Environment very quiet but within walking distance to the main road of Cowes where all the shops and restaurants are. Large room, big couch, newly renovated bathroom, even a little wardrobe area / dressing room. We were also made to feel very welcome by Mandy (thank you) and highly recommend all travellers give this motel your consideration if staying on Phillip Island.

We enjoyed our stay at The Waves Apartments. The apartment is on a good location and our room had a good view. The room given to us was also good enough for a family of 3. Our toddler was able to walk around the room and enjoy :) Will definitely stay here again the next time we're back at Phillip Island.

North Pier Hotel

The North Pier Hotel sits proudly above Western Port Bay and is ideally located in the central township of Cowes, Phillip Island. Only 1.5 hours drive from Melbourne. Just a stone's throw across from the main beach on one of Victoria's only North facing coastlines, Cowes, The North Pier Hotel is the ideal spot to base yourself for your next visit to Phillip Island. The accommodation is wrapped around the bistro and bar which has been fitted out industrial style with a massive north facing new deck and serves good pub fair. A short stroll will find you on the doorstep to the many cafes, restaurants and boutique shops to explore and indulge in. Once known as 'The Continental Hotel', the North Pier Hotel leaves nothing of its prior namesake to be remembered. With every room having recently been fitted with new furnishings to ensure your stay is comfortable, and major bar and restaurant renovations were undertaken earlier in 2017, The North Pier Hotel is ready to host your next stay.

Apartments at Glen Isla

Seven self-contained studio apartments in a garden setting, just a short walk to the beach and only 1.8 Kilometres from the centre of Cowes. Facilities include solar heated outdoor pool, spa and sauna.

Nice, clean apartment. Good service

Reviewed By SimonaK123

Glen isla is boutique studio with kichennete. It was only 2 of us. Our studio was specious, got queen size bed, single bed and sofabed. Room was clean and comfortable. We was on 1 floor, it was only 2 another studio . It was quiet place. John, manager was very helpful and supportive, when we needed something, he always was there. Glen Isla appartments located near secluded beach with nice clean sandy coast. But there no places where you can eat, only small cafe with couple seats under the sun. To the centre 2 km, so we had to use car when we wanted eat or go for a walk.
