Walk to the Cowes beach - voted "Best Beach for Kids in VIC" (Herald Sun 4/1/08)

Just a few minutes walk leads you to the calm waters of the famous north facing Cowes Beach - perfect for long walks.

Endorsed as Victoria's Best beach for Kids - "The water is usually calm. The beach is wide, there's plenty of shade...and there's not too far to go to reach the main street." (Herald Sun 4/1/08)


Stroll along the beach to the main street of Cowes where you can enjoy coffee or a meal, whilst soaking up the atmosphere of this seaside village.

A short drive away are the Penguin Parade, fabulous wineries and some of Australia's best surf beaches. The Herald Sun nominated the island's Woolami Beach one of "Victoria's Best Surf Beaches."

The island also boasts Victoria's "Best Rocks - at Cape Woolamai Forrest Caves is a series of caverns where sea has eroded the rocks...at low tide the headlands at Smiths Beach have plenty of rock pools to explore."

Phillip Island is a famous perfect summer getaway - yet the Grape Escape offers an equally relaxing spring time experience - sunny days and crisp nights by the fire with a family game, good book or good friend!

Guest Reviews

 
  • "Anna, we had a great time at the Grape Escape! Thank you for making it all so easy. A fantastic, well equipped house and a brilliant location. The beach is so close, as well as the shops - plus it is a super base for all the other attractions on Phillip Island. Really comfortable and a great price too! "

  • "We visit Philip Island at least once a year and this time we (six adults)decided to stay in a holiday rental- The Grape is well equiped and very comfortable, the shop/cafe around the corner was a life saver for a rushed breakfast or a sensational snack of fish and chips and it's not that far to walk home from the Cowes restaurants and hotel so if you are considering this type of accomodation we reccomend the Grape Escape we considered it to be good value for money."

  • "We had a great week on Phillip Island. The property is a lovely 20 minute walk along the beach from town. The kids had a great time in the garden playing cricket and tennis.The beach is 5 minutes on foot and great for swimming and young children. The kitchen was well equiped and we cooked meals for 5 daily. We would like to stay again."

  • "As a group of 6, containing 3 adults and 3 children, we stayed very comfortably at this comfortable and well equiped venue. It is well located in relaxing surroundings, with the beach a few minutes from the door step, a great milk bar around the corner, and all local conveniences a ten minute walk from the door step. Everything you need is provided and the well secured yard is very comforting when you have children to consider. We took our bikes and enertained some great rides- with red rocks beach highly reccommended. Communication with the owners was exceptional and this on its own will see us visiting again. Highly reccommended!"

  • "An escape it was! Lovely relaxed feel to the cottage and we - especially the kids - loved the fenced back yard (and the bocce set). The cottage was very well equipped, is only a short walk to the beach and in a nice peaceful spot. We'll definitely be back!"
