Cosy & inviting

Very nice house in a good location to explore everything Philip Island has to offer. Plenty of bedding and a well stocked pantry made this place a cosy and inviting place to stay. Aircon was even turned on to make the place warm for our arrival. Highly recommend.

Stoked!

We loved our stay at Smiths Beach. Perfect for two families with young kids - the kids loved being in the bunk room together! Perfect yard for our dogs too, huge and secure. Had everything we needed and close walk to Smiths Beach. Only think we would have loved was an indoor clothes horse for drying clothes when it’s wet outside and also the gas tank under the bbq was empty, but otherwise LOVED it and want to return next year!!!! Thank you :)
