Room was lovely and clean. Quite spacious and over all very good apart from the main bed mattress being hard and uncomfortable. Shower door opened inwards only and when in the shower you are unable to close the door so had to shower with the door open. It could have been just that 1 room and I would let it stop me from going again if only there for 1 night.

Nice apartment - great location

We stayed 4 nights in a 4th floor water view apartment on Phillip Island and found it very convenient and comfortable. The bedroom opened on to the balcony with lovely views and sunshine. We had a Queen size bed, large TV, free Internet, reverse cycle aircon and plenty of drawer and cupboard space as well as a large bench/desk area. The bathroom is in the middle of the apartment and was good with a large spa bath and complimentary toiletries. The kitchen/lounge/dining area can be closed off with a sliding door and has its own small oil heater, a good-sized fridge/freezer, a microwave, 2 hotplates and rangehood. Access is via the ground level carpark with security, reserved parking spaces and a quick lift. There is a reception area but we didn’t actually need to go there for anything. We liked the location a lot, it’s tucked away at the end of town and very quiet but close to restaurants and shops and across the road from the water.
