The Waves Cowes Phillip Island
We were led to believe from the online photos that we would have sea views. But we got the car park instead.
The shower was not properly sealed and it flooded the bathroom and toilet whenever we used it. We used all the towel that we wee given to seal the base and had to use our beach towels after showering. We also were given the bed linen when we picked up our keys and had to make our own bed. No very professional.
Likes-
Very good location
Secured parking
Price
Not so likes-
Top bunk bed not safe for either a child as no railings or an adult as not sturdy so we were not able to use it
Tv remote was sticky to the touch I tried to clean it but the grime was so thick so I just wrapped it in plastic when using it
Felt a bit unsafe without the deadbolt in the front door
Too many rules on your face that it dampened the mood a bit of being on vacation
Very poor communication and no access to garage to enter property, so was waiting for 2 hrs to get assistance. Very noisy at night and water in walls is noisy also.
