Cowes is a beautiful cultural town on the island. We had dinner at a different restaurant each night! Italian, Greek, Thai, Japanese and Gelato for dessert - we couldn't fit any others in but there's many more. All the food was amazing. The Island itself provides such a vast amount of activities to do from Peguins, beaches, lookouts, kids entertainment, parks, wineries it has it all!

The location & The Resort itself was great. We had a meal at the restaurant which was fantastic. The apartment was the total opposite as described above. When we contacted Rachael regarding no hairdryer, milk, tea or coffee her reply was no milk coffee or hairdryer supplied although sometimes the previous guests sometimes leave milk etc. which would be left in the fridge! I would definitely not book there through Air BNB again.

We loved that it was so close to the beach! It was also not as busy as other parts of the Island so was very quiet and relaxing with amazing views! Also only 10mins from the track and go karting was so much fun!

Really like the island at this time of the year when it’s quiet and restful. We enjoyed the walk to Pyramid Rock. Later we walked along the jetty at San Remo. I enjoyed the walk down the Main Street of Cowes to the beach and jetty. A man had caught several good fish there. Dinner at the San Remo hotel was good and I would recommend it. We also really enjoyed the National Vietnam Veteran Museum. I recommend allowing a considerable amount of time for the museum as there is so much to see. It’s very interesting and well worth a visit.

We were there for the motogp, the house was only about 400 metres from the bus stop so very good. If you want a perfect meal (Dinner) you cant go past the San Remo hotel , only a couple of bucks for the bus there and back.

Lovely modern home with lovely touches. Disappointed with cleanliness of balcony as it hadn’t been cleaned, it was dirty and greasy not just covered in sand from beach. We spent an hour cleaning it up. We also cleaned the house before we left, so wasn’t too happy about the cleaning charge on top of stay.

The main beach is beautiful, with a ramp for all abilities (and dog) access. Dogs are allowed on lead at the beach at specific times. The water and sand are clean. There are rockpools to explore at low tide. Smiths Beach General Store provides for basic provisions during the day. Smiths Beach is a short drive (less than 10 mins) into Cowes and The Nobbies.

The staff were most helpful and informative. I was notified by message if/when changes were made. My only objection would perhaps be no electric frying pan in the Cabin. It was very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.. I would definitely recommend to others.

Weather dreadful. Rain, freezing wind, cold, very little sun. Wouldn't go there in winter. Traffic in Cowes was maniac. Good supermarkets, Coles, Woolworths, Aldi. Some great clothes shops. Loved the scallop pies, baked deserts. Loved the Chocolate Factory. Penguin Parade was great to see. Saw the Koalas & 1 echidna at the Koala Sanctuary. Liked Churchill Island. Loved seeing the Highland cows. Went to Catholic Church at Rhyll for 9.00 am Mass Sunday. Choir lovely. Good attendance.

If you love the ocean, long beach walks and a charming, well equipped house with everything you need to relax and enjoy then this cottage is for you. In warmer weather the fabulous outdoor spaces will come in handy.
