We bought this home because we fell in love with Phillip Island. After a full renovation in 2023, we opened the doors to guests who want the same experience we have every time we visit.
We are hands-on hosts. We respond fast, and we genuinely care that you have the best time. Every detail in the house has been chosen with guests in mind.

“This home was by far among the best we have stayed at. Fabulous hosts. House was spotlessly clean. Pool table afforded some great family fun. In a great location, easy to get into town. Generous with supplies needed to make your stay comfortable without running out to restock. Would definitely recommend this home and hosts. We would absolutely choose to stay here again.”
Colleen“We had a wonderful stay for my wife's 40th birthday weekend. The house was great and we couldn't have asked for better. Across the road from a beautiful beach and 15 minute walk into town. Thank you for a memorable stay”
Scott“Honestly one of the best airbnb's i have ever stayed at. The house location is perfect, a short 10 minute stroll to the main street and there is a general store next door. The house is extremely well stocked and has absolutely everything you need. We had a girls weekend with a couple of bubs & furbaby and everyone was sooo impressed. Huge driveway for everyone to park in. We can't wait to come back!!”
Carly“Big Isle Retreat exceeded all our expectations. The space is huge and perfect for groups, the pool table and outdoor fire pit were big hits! The location in Cowes is unbeatable (only 250m to the beach), and the host was super responsive throughout our stay. Finding a luxury, pet-friendly spot can be tough, so this was a massive win for us. We'll definitely be back!”
Gavin“This roomy home was so lovely. The bedrooms felt luxurious with loads of natural light all through the house. Three adults two kids and a dog all fit with room to spare. We enjoyed the pool table and coffee machine. And the dog was safe in the yard with a stable fence. A great place for us to relax after long days exploring the coastline. Highly recommend.”
