Guest Reviews

 
  • "Our stay at Glen Isla House was wonderful. Ian and Madeleine were great hosts. Ian was a fountain of information about the island which was most helpful and had some great suggestions. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer but maybe next time. The property is picturesque. We stayed in the Gate House which was separate from the main accommodation but lacked for nothing and would thoroughly recommend Glen Isle to anyone contemplating a stay on Phillip Island."

  • "The room was great, breakfast was great, and Ian and Madeleine are lovely people. Nancy, the dog, was so beautiful, I just wanted to take her home with me. A very tranquil and relaxing getaway. I would definately go back again."
