Nice getaway in Cowes

A nice house in the back streets of Cowes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here with two 4-yr olds loving the kids room. Overall, our stay was mostly positive and recommend the house. As a few others have mentioned there is some work required in some areas (garden, bbq etc.).

Nice little getaway

We often go to stay at the island but normally at the resort or an apartment but this time thought we'd get a home and we really enjoyed this beautiful home. 1km walk to the beach . Comfortable beds and lots of TV's. So good for any age.

What a lovely home

This is gorgeous, we were in town for a close friends wedding and had the pleasure of staying here with our friends and son. The facilities were modern and felt luxurious. The house was spacious and provided enough privacy for all of us to come together when we wanted too and to comfortably relax when we needed a break from eachother. We had a beautiful time and would highly reccomend this home.

Another Grand Holiday at Nos 17

Thankyou to our Hosts at nos 17 Katherine Circuit Cowes. This is our second visit in so many years and we love the accommodation The location is great and the home is equipped with more than you would expect from a Holiday Rental. A few things may need some n next attention. Ie the hot water situation and the claw foot bath plugs. Both claw foot baths were unusable for the whole month There were a couple of other minor issues but nothing from deterring us from requesting a re-rental Next year. Thankyou for the use of your lovely home

Stayz at Katherine Circuit

Overall a lovely 3 week holiday. We usually stay In Genesta st but was unavailable this year. We were very happy to be availed of your home. Couple of small things. Code was wrong when we arrived. Coffee machine was broken and it just needs a suitable broom and dustpan to regularly sweep. Thankyou again

Needs maintenance

Hi, we were very excited to stay at this property, it was grandfinal day and all we wanted to do was make a bbq and have a spa...however when we got there the spa was dirty and not working and the bqq was filthy! The house needs maintence and a good sort..the kitchen items are all over the place, tomato sauce sitting there out of date, pans dont work on the stove due to be damaged, no bin bags provided etc. The house is also extememly dark and the lounge near the kitchen is so uncomfortable. A positive is the play room for kids, although toys again need to be sorted and cleaned.

Great layout and space for a group to stay and enjoy

The property was a great layout and catered for a group with a variety of ages. It’s a great location and was well looked after. We had an issue with the spa not heating which was unfortunate as the kids couldn’t use it.

Beautiful home with great amenities

Everything a family needs for a long stay with luxury extras. Central location. 10 minute walk to the shops. The spa is great (I’d recommend it being turned on by the cleaner before your guest come so they can use it the day the check in) Great communication by host Thank you so much

Ideal Winter Break

Having decided to go to Phillip Island for several days over school holidays mid-winter with my kids, I was looking for a comfortable, warm house in reasonable proximity to the beach and shops. This was a lovely house - nicely furnished with a well equipped kitchen with modern appliances and an abundance of tvs. Bedrooms were very spacious with good linen, towels etc It was nice to come back to after our various activities. As one of the features of the house is its two fireplaces, I would suggest having some firewood for guests upon arrival.

Summer Getaway

I stayed here with my family and really enjoyed ourselves. The rooms are very generous in size, the property is well kept, the house including furnishings are very comfortable, and the neighbourhood is very quiet which is perfect. It is only about a 5 minute drive to red rock beach and about the same to the Main Street of Cowes.
