    Everything was excellent. Location was great, right next to the main town in Philip Island but remains quiet at night. Would definitely recommend if visiting Philip Island.

    Lovely guest house accommodation with a good ensuite. A gem. Everything was perfect. No sign of the owner though , and it took some time to get his number to get the entry code. You DO need that code!!
