North Pier Hotel, hotel in Cowes

North Pier Hotel is located on Philip Island opposite Cowes Beach. Guests can relax by the on-site swimming pool and restaurant. Free WiFi and free parking is available.

Location Bouncing castle for kids (though it was a pity we couldn't use it for very long. The days were spent on attractions and by the time we got back it was only open for about 20min each night so the kids were disappointed about that.

Seahorse Motel Cowes, hotel in Cowes

Seahorse Motel Cowes is a 5-minute drive from Phillip Island Wildlife Park and Cowes Golf Club. It offers barbecue facilities, a children’s playground and free on-site parking.

Excellent sleep - bed is very, very comfortable. Lots of nice little touches such as cutlery and dinner plates in the room, electric blanket on the bed, and more. One of the nicest motel rooms we've ever stayed at. Location is ideal for exploring the island by car and Cowes on foot. Staff friendly and welcoming and on site facilities looked great (didn't use them but there is a pool, bbq area, kids playground). We had a small issue with something in our room but staff were very prompt to resolve it (going over and above what we would have expected). Would return and would recommend!

    I stayed in one of the new studio cabins.

    I stayed in one of the new studio cabins. It was really well set out and had everything that I needed, along with beautiful crisp white sheets and fluffy towels. It was a very pleasant stay and the hotel staff were all helpful and friendly. It’s also in a very good position right on the beach and a short walk to Cowes township. Definitely worth a visit!

    Cowes is a live town not just a tourist town with everything you need easily accessible. Lovely locals, lots of options, interesting and nature all around. Easy, short drive to Penguin parade and multiple beaches. Very clean, safe and picturesque, a great location from which to discover the island's many attractions.

    Stayed at North Pier Hotel .

    Stayed at North Pier Hotel . We booked family room which comes with an outdoor patio. Great location. Within walking distance to family friendly beach and restaurants. We had the best lamb curry in Chocolate Factory cafe. Not spicy, lamb was tender, suitable for kids. Love the fish and chips!! We purchased bundle pass which comes with Penguin Parade, Churchil Island (picnic area, picturesque view, Highlander cow), Koala Conservation (spotted lots of koala on the trees while walking on boardwalk). Highly recommended these places of interest.

    I am sending these 2 photos as on the screen shot you see I paid for a studio with patio and balcony and all I got was this pod for $500 per night. They lied about what my accommodation was to you. Probably because they had a big group staying as well they decided to shove me down in a "trades pod". Unacceptable! They need to give me a refund and booking.com can't trust them in the future! Thanks Kerry

    Beautiful home with lovely views, very close to Penguin Parade and in a safe quiet complex. The apartment was pristine. The bed/linens super comfy. The place is spacious, the views make you feel like you have the island to yourself. We went to Melbourne after Phillips Island and stayed at a 5-star hotel, which felt like a hole-in-the-wall in comparison with the Hilltop apartments. Thank you Eve and Chris for a wonderful stay!

    The location is right in Cowes. We were delayed and we were advised the reception area would be closed by the time we arrived. The reservations person sent us details on how to obtain our room key which was so simple. The stay was just for one night, Phillip Island offers so much to see and now we will have to come back and of course, we will be staying at the North Pier Hotel.

    Cowes is the place to stay on Phillip Island, and Captain's Nook is walking distance to the centre of town for shops, cafes and restaurants. Birdlife and wildlife are excellent in the vicinity, Penguin Parade not to be missed (and worth paying for premier seats) Captains Nook is very well set up, perfect for up to 5 people. Very comfortable bed, lovely spa bath, 2 lounge areas.

    Good location in a quiet street. Less than 5 mins drive to the beach and to the Cowes town centre. The house was big, enough to fit 2 families. 3 bathrooms, 3 toilets, and a separate laundry room. Spacious living area, front, and backyard. Parking can fit 2 to 4 cars. Dog friendly property. Stocked with games and a games room with a pool table and foosball for kids.

    The staff at Phillip Island Towers were extremely pleasant and accommodating. They went above and beyond to accommodate our group after we had to change plans at the last moment. An important item was left behind, but the housekeeping team promptly informed reception, who contacted the group, and return the item.
