Summary:

Family-Friendly Home, Near Beach + Walk to Shops



A tranquil escape awaits at the beautiful Kilara Cottage. Bright and airy spaces, modern upgrades, and refreshing indoor/outdoor living provide the perfect space to relax and rejuvenate during your visit to the seaside town of Cowes. This spacious family-friendly home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and comfortably accommodates up to 7 guests. Walk to the town’s shops, be at the beach in minutes, and enjoy easy driving access to all the popular Phillip Island attractions from this ideal location.



The Space:

Kilara Cottage offers peaceful solitude with a serene aesthetic vibe to all who enter. Detailed architectural elements such as beamed ceilings, unique roof lines, and barn door detailing soothe the senses while creating a perfect backdrop for pure vacation bliss. Find cosy corners and light-filled rooms indoors, and verdant green spaces interspersed with shady spots outside, all designed as a quiet retreat from the hectic schedules of everyday life.



Guests will appreciate a modern kitchen with distinctive character that is perfectly equipped for cooking and serving full course meals. The main social dining and living area provides a warm and inviting space for gathering, entertaining, and especially snuggling around the fireplace on cool evenings.



Three bedrooms are smartly situated across both levels of the home, providing privacy and separation from the kids or for groups traveling together. There are even cosy sleeping nooks and bunk beds that are sure to entice youngsters to tuck in for an early bedtime. Two remodelled bathrooms – one with a chic industrial flair, the other with a convenient tub for bathing little ones - keep morning and evening routines running smoothly.



Outdoor living is a definite highlight here with garden pathways, a shady dining deck, and sun lounging pergola offering a lush haven for family meals, meditation, yoga, or simply settling down with a good book.

    We had 5 family members share this 4 bedroom holiday home. It was so clean & comfortable and absolutely stunningly decorated. It has all facilities available for cooking a family meal and the location is superb. Communication with the host was perfect. Thanks for hosting us, it was a wonderful stay.

    Kilara Cottage was a wonderful base to explore Cowes and Phillip Island. We were able to spend the mornings enjoying the area and return to an exceptionally comfortable property. The fireplace was an absolute bonus in the cold July weather. Reading and relaxing with a glass of wine in front of the fire was rejuvenating. We will definitely be looking to use the property again. Thank you for the use of this home.
