Fantastic short stay accommodation and great value. The only improvement we could suggest was to fix the Chromecast on the TV. Could not get that to work. Would definitely recommend.

We had a fantastic time at Chill Out- the facilities were perfect for us travelling with elderly parents who had the bedroom and en-suite on the ground floor while we as a couple had the space upstairs to ourselves. And the fact they are pet friendly allowed us to bring our small dog too.We will definitely book this accommodation again and highly recommend to others!

Stayed only for pne night but would have liked more. The property is spacious and in a great location. 5 minutes walk to the beach, cafes, restaurants and shops.
Great location close to the beach for walking the dog and also walking distance to main shopping/ cafe strip. Accommodation is large as well as compact and has all your needs met. Would go back there again.
Chill Out is a great place to stay in Cowes. The house was really clean and neat and well stocked for basic requirements. Good heating which was needed over our few days there. The location was perfect for us and we would definitely recommend.
Our stay at this property was fantastic! The location was brilliant, within walking distance to beach and shops. The safe, secure yard provided peace of mind for our dog. Inside, the tidy space boasted cosy couches and a very comfortable bed, ensuring a relaxing stay. Highly recommend for pet-friendly travellers.
Perfect location. Booking agents exceptionally good communication.
Accommodation was super just like being at home. Clean, comfy beds, terrific sized back and side yard.
Great kitchen with so many extras provided, terrific meals and lounge areas that can easily seat 7 people in comfort.
We definitely recommend to anyone and we will stay here again.
We had a great time at ‘Chill out’ in Cowes. The townhouse is in the perfect location being only a five minute walk to the shops and the beach. Despite being so close to town, the the unit was quiet and very relaxing. The unit was a great size our family and had everything we needed including a secure yard for our dog. We will definitely stay here again, when we’re back in Cowes next.
The property accommodated our family for a 2 week break. Great location. A short walk to beach, cafes and grocery stores. We left our portacot at home and there was a travel cot available with the property, not ideal but made do! Would return for another break in Car Cowes.
Super safe for our fur baby and a great location for the humans, easy walk to the beach and main street. Only a few negatives, the DVD player would not work so we couldn't watch any movies and the front sensor lights could not be turned off, and they were obviously being triggered by movement of the strappy plants around the front verandah and they lit up every few minutes for most of the night. We could not find a light switch to turn them off. The same thing happened with the back yard sensor light but we were able to turn that one off. Apart from these minor problems our stay was fantastic and we would recommend this unit to others wanting somewhere safe for themselves and their fur babies.
Chill out at this Central , Comfortable and Relaxing Home
Chill Out is a very comfortable and well equipped town house two blocks walk from the beach and the wonderful coffee shops of Cowes. Our second stay at Chill Out has just confirmed it as our favourite place to stay on Phillip Island
