“Thanks for a lovely stay Ben. Your place was perfect for our needs and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Phillip Island. Your home was clean and tidy and had everthing we needed and it wasn't far from anything. We appreciate you offering us the extra night and our puppy says thank you for the close proximity to the beach (and your outdoor shower when she returned). Thanks again.”

“Phillip Island is a beautiful place and Ben's home is equally beautiful. Big and spacious, it was an enjoyable stay for my family of 8. There were a/c in every corner of the house and provided warmth quickly in the cold winter weather. My kids enjoyed the play area upstairs and the pool table. The kitchen is well stocked with condiments, sauces and drinks and it provided convenience for quick tea break when we didnt have time to run to supermarket. Plus points: the bathroom are also very well equipped with items like sewing kit, wet wipes which i dont see other homes providing. Very suitable for families with young children. Bath salts are also provided for a good soak. Highly recommend Ben's home!”

“We had a fabulous stay here! The house is beautiful, clean and well equipped with lots of thoughtful little extras. Great location with a short walk to the beach and about a 10-15 minute walk to the Coles and main strip of shops. We also loved the pool table. If it had a pool/spa we would never leave!”
