This stylish and unique house is located in the suburb of Surf Beach, Philip Island. The house is tastefully decorated throughout and fully equipped for your stay. It's the perfect place for a romantic getaway or holiday with the family or special friends. Relax, unwind and enjoy everything that Philip Island has to offer, whether it be the amazing beaches and wildlife, great food, cafes and restaurants and so much more. I know you will love it here!
Surf Beach is a relatively quiet neighbourhood made up mostly of holiday homes, so expect to see only a few people during your stay here. You will need a car to get around. Supermarkets, shops, chemist and all that you need is located in Cowes or San Remo, approximately 10 minutes from the house. Philip Island is famous for its stunning natural habitat, pristine beaches , stunning scenery and wildlife, including the world famous Penguin Parade (Book for this attraction in advance during peak season) Surf Beach is a quiet holiday destination comprising holiday homes and some permanent residents. There is one shop located in Surf Beach, a BottleO which stocks basics like milk. bread and breakfast essentials and alcohol . A car is the best way to discover th island. There is a bus stop located about 4 minutes walk from the house that services both Cowes and San Remo. If you don't have a car, there is also a regular Line service to Philip Island that departs Spencer Street Station in Melbourne.and stops at Surf Beach.
