North Pier Hotel
8.1 (94 reviews)

North Pier Hotel ★★★

📍 5 The Esplanade, Cowes

"Stayed in queen beds room with bay view. Strategic location which directly opposite the beach, walking distance to eateries about 500m away. Free parking available but crowded on weekends."

Ramada Resort by Wyndham Phillip Island
8.7 (159 reviews)

Ramada Resort by Wyndham Phillip Island ★★★★

📍 2128 Phillip Island Rd, Cowes

"This resort on Phillip Island is located next to a wetland park, with a small wildlife park right outside. It's a 20-minute drive east to the Penguin Parade and Nobbies Centre, and a 20-minute drive west on the way back to town is the chocolate factory coffee shop. The area is teeming with wild kangaroos, rabbits, grey geese, local waterbirds, and fire ants. At night, we spotted possums in the trees and then realized they were everywhere around our cabin. The room itself was an older-style holiday cottage with a full kitchen, including a dishwasher. The facilities were a bit dated and had a few minor issues. The staff were pretty unnoticeable after check-in and weren't particularly helpful. The little penguins return to their nests around 8 PM (we didn't book tickets specifically for this). Nobbies Centre is definitely worth a visit; we even saw penguins incubating eggs under the boardwalk!"

Amaroo Park
8.4 (122 reviews)

Amaroo Park ★★★

📍 97 Church St, Cowes

"The room was very nice and well-equipped. Unfortunately, as it wasn't peak season, the pool and restaurant were closed!"

Seahorse Motel Cowes
8.8 (75 reviews)

Seahorse Motel Cowes ★★★

📍 29-31 Chapel St, Cowes

"This hotel exceeded my expectations. Both the room facilities and the outdoor areas were incredibly tidy and clean. The bathroom was spacious with great water pressure, the bath towels were new, and both the mattress and pillows were very comfortable and felt new. The sheets and pillowcases were also new, and there was no strange odor in the room. The air conditioning provided good warmth, and there was even a small backyard. I think the price was quite reasonable, far better than those places that look good but turn out to be nothing special."

8.4 (56 reviews)

Phillip Island Apartments ★★★★

📍 9-11 Bass Avenue, Reception entrance on, Chapel St, Cowes

"Nice apartment Good Lovely"

Phillip Island Towers

Phillip Island Towers ★★★★

📍 Reception 9/11 Bass Ave, Cowes

"Stayed here for 1 night, block B, fourth floor. Apartment was clean, but very white, bland, boring. No nightsafe, apartment door difficult to secure, 10am checkout. Check in staff friendly, but no one around when we were leaving. Wouldn't stay again."

North Pier Hotel ★★★
"I chose this place because it's close to Phillip Island. Honestly, the whole place was more rundown than I expected. The room was acceptable, but not very clean or tidy. The bedding looked clean, but the facilities were poor. For a one-night stay, it was still okay."

Ramada Resort by Wyndham Phillip Island ★★★★
"We stayed here for four nights and it was fantastic! There were so many cute little animals right outside our door – rabbits, purple chickens, and possums were the most common. On one side of the hotel, there's a pasture with lots of cattle and sheep. Across the road is a wildlife park, and it's also really convenient to drive to the supermarket. The kitchen facilities are complete with an oven, gas stove, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, and more, making it easy to cook our own meals. Plus, there's a washing machine and dryer, which made our holiday on Phillip Island so relaxing and wonderful."
