The property was very pet friendly other than it was over 2 floors and the living area was upstairs. Also we couldn't find an external light in the back yard. The kitchen was well equipped but small, especially when there is more than one person trying to cook. It could have used another saucepan. There was plenty of games and activities for all ages. Short walk to beach and about 25 minutes walk to shops.

Thank you for your detailed feedback, Jeanette—we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed the pet-friendly aspects of the property, the well-equipped kitchen, and the range of games and activities available for all ages, as well as the convenient proximity to the beach. We also appreciate your constructive comments. We understand the layout with the living area upstairs may not suit everyone, and we’ve noted your feedback regarding the backyard lighting and the need for an additional saucepan. Please be assured these points have been passed to the owner. Thank you again for your valuable input—we’re grateful for it and always strive to improve. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again in the future. Regards, The team at Phillip Island Holiday Homes
