Walk along the beach near our place to the main street of Cowes, where you can enjoy coffee or a meal, whilst soaking up the atmosphere of this seaside village. The Cowes boat ramp is just a minute's drive away too and in good weather, you can have breakfast or lunch right on the beach at the rustic Boat Ramp cafe.

Within a short drive from the Grape Escape are the Penguin Parade, Koala Park, the cute village of Rhyll, indoor children activities, historic Churchill Island, fabulous wineries and some of Australia's best surf beaches.

The island also boasts Victoria's 'Best Beach Rocks' - being Cape Woolamai Forrest Caves, a series of caverns where sea has eroded the 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 experience any time of year. In the cooler weather there is nothing better than an invigorating walk on the beach followed by nights by the Coonara fire with a family game, good book or a good friend!

    We had a great time staying at the cottage. Lots of things around to entertain the children. A short walk to the beach, a visit to the wildlife park, and you can’t go past the chocolate factory. The cottage is a great size and easily accommodated our family of 4. We spent lots of time playing catch in the backyard while getting dinner ready. Looking forward to coming back x
