The Islander - sleeps 20

Great home - spacious, plenty of parking great outdoor area - beautiful swimming pool and spa

Great property, had no issues with checking in/out House was clean. Garage has a pool table and table tennis which was funIf I had to pick on things to improve in the future: - wish there was a heater in the backyard - little essentials were not in available (paper towels/oil) so factor that in when you’re booking Other than that, perfect place for a weekend away

Having read some reviews, I was worried coming in. But honestly, the place was lovely. Even with a big group, we still had loads of space. The kids loved the games area and had their own little retreat. Sure, the place was a little worn, but that had zero impact on our time there. We still enjoyed games of pool and table tennis. Everything was in working order, the kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed. All in all, we had a great time there. The only thing I'd recommend is taking some extra bedding if you're staying in winter, the downstairs bedrooms got quite cold overnight. But I would recommend this place for large groups and families, it's got something for everyone.

The property was as described with the all amenities on the property. However the cooking and dining equipment and utensils were all dirty. Furthermore there was a leak coming from a locked cupboard near the washing machine. It was needed to be mopped everyday. The table tennis equipment were in tatters and requires replacement. Otherwise everything was as described and ok.

Our family really enjoyed our stay here. Great spaces to really spread out for the 20 of us ranging in age from 18 months to 90. Each room had a lovely look out to the surrounding landscape. A 10-15 minute drive to Cowes was great for supplies. The oven needs a good clean but when everything else was so good, its a minor issue. I would definitely recommend staying here and would go again myself. Thanks guys.

I am writing this to express my extreme disappointment with this property that my family and I recently stayed at. Despite our hopes for a relaxing and enjoyable stay, we were met with a number of issues that made our short stay incredibly unpleasant & embarrassing. First and foremost, the lack of basic amenities such as hot water and gas for one night out of two was unacceptable. This was particularly frustrating as we had seniors and children in our group who require special attention to their needs. The fact that these issues were not addressed in a timely manner only added to our frustration. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the property was severely lacking. The property was not cleaned to a satisfactory standard, with dirt and grime present in many areas of the property. This is simply not acceptable and shows a lack of respect for guests who expect a clean and hygienic environment. Despite our attempts to report these issues to the property management team, we found them to be unhelpful and unresponsive. We were left feeling unsupported and ignored, which only compounded the stress and discomfort of our stay. As a result of these issues, I cannot recommend this property to anyone seeking a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The lack of basic amenities, poor cleanliness, and unresponsive property management team have left a lasting negative impression. I urge all future guests to be aware of these shortcomings.

Very pleased when we drove up to the property, large open space with lots of privacy and short walk to an awesome surf beach and walking trail. Soooo much space for the kids to spread out and enjoy themselves in downstairs living and games room, as well as the spa, bbq area and pool. Freezing weather and winds didn’t stop the kids jumping in the pool, it’s a walk-in pool great for toddlers to safely splash about. Upstairs living area had seats for all 20 of us comfortably. Kitchen equipped with everything we needed including 2 fridges and walk in pantry. Yes a bit of dirt and a few grotty pots and pans here and there but all as expected for this type of family-friendly, well-loved holiday house. Nothing that put us off returning that’s for sure. Enjoyed an impromptu lunch at the Phillip island winery, walkable distance or a 5 min drive, highly recommend the Pinot noir and pizzas. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend for large groups/families. ☺️

Spectacular location and facilities which require some maintenance. We prioritized booking a property with a pool table, so were very disappointed to find rocks on the table and no cues! We also set off the smoke alarm and filled the house with smoke by cooking a lasagna! The oven was so dirty it wouldn't have mattered what we cook. With a deep clean and some small fixes, the property would easily be worthy of 5 stars.

Great house for four families to catch up for a reunion. We needed plenty of space for all age groups and seven bedrooms. So it was to be an expensive accommodation option to find a place big enough for us all but it was suitable for this occasion. The Home was Casual and homely.

We stayed here with a group of 13 friends over the Easter holiday. All in all, the house left a lot to be desired. One of the 'pools' was nothing more than swamp, and the other was full of bugs. We saw several mice running around the house. Many parts of the kitchen and bathroom were broken or falling apart. The kitchen did not have the basic pots and pans that would be required to feed 13 people, and was instead full of old junk, clearly left from the last 20 groups who stayed. In several of the bedrooms the wardrobes didn't have drawers or even a rail to hand clothes from. The ice maker in the fridge was not connected, and the fridge was warm while the bar fridge was too cold, with the freezer so frosted over that it couldn't close. There weren't enough chairs for our group. The baby gate supplied to make the upstairs area baby proof was missing some key parts so that it was impossible to install it corrently, making it quite unsafe. The owners need to take the time to make a visit and even try staying there for a night. They must have spent a million dollars at least on the house and land, now they just need to spend another $5000 fixing these little problems, doing a proper clean of the pools, and stocking out the kitchen with a set of IKEA pots, pans and utensils so that it is actually usable.
