Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Michelle
We’re a family who loves learning, good conversations, and spending quality time together. When we’re not working, you’ll usually find us heading out for a walk along the beach, enjoying the fresh air and slowing the pace with our kids. Those simple moments—shared walks, laughs, and time to reconnect—are what we value most.
Christmas is our favourite time of year. It’s a reminder to pause, step away from the busyness of work, and truly be present with family and friends. We love the warmth, the togetherness, and the feeling of home that comes with it, and we try to bring that same sense of comfort and ease into hosting.
We enjoy being hosts because we genuinely love creating spaces where people can relax, unwind, and feel at home. Whether you’re visiting for a family getaway, a catch-up with friends, or just some time to recharge, we hope our home gives you the chance to slow down, enjoy the moment, and make some great memories of your own.

Why they chose this property
Phillip Island offers the best of both worlds — a relaxed, quiet island escape without giving up modern comforts. The pace instantly slows as soon as you arrive, with open spaces, coastal air, and a sense of calm that makes it easy to switch off.
What we love most is how effortlessly everything comes together. You can enjoy peaceful walks, coastal scenery, and that classic holiday feeling, then wander straight to great cafés, local restaurants, and shops just moments away. There’s no need to choose between convenience and tranquillity — Phillip Island gives you both.
It’s the kind of place where mornings start slowly with coffee nearby, days are spent exploring or unwinding, and evenings are about good food and relaxed catch-ups. That balance is what keeps us coming back, and what makes the area such a special place to stay.

What makes this property unique
What makes our home stand out is its unbeatable location paired with a sense of calm and privacy. As you arrive into central Cowes, the house is perfectly positioned — close to everything you need, yet tucked away in a quiet court so you can truly relax.
From the front door, it’s an easy walk down Main Street to Cowes Beach or Erewhon Beach, as well as cafés, shops, and local restaurants. You can leave the car behind and enjoy the convenience of having modern comforts right at your doorstep, without the noise or bustle that often comes with central locations.
It’s this balance — central, walkable, peaceful, and private — that makes the home ideal for a laid-back island stay where everything is close, but tranquillity still comes first.
