Glen Isla House, Phillip Island

Our stay at Glen Isla House was perfect. We received a warm welcome and were provided with local information which was very useful for planning trips around the island and finding out about where some of the best places to eat/drink were. The surrounding gardens were beautiful and the room was excellent with some lovely touches added to give it a luxury feel. For us the location was great because we walked along the beach to cafes for breakfast in the morning and liked the 15 minute stroll to the centre in the evening for dinner. We would most definitely recommend Glen Isla House to others and would go back again.

Excellent boutique hotel with lovely host!

The stay was beyond pleasant. The host and service was excellent and it was a big bonus having the hotel receive us late because of delayed flight and travel time. They where a privatized boutique hotel with early check in but host organized late check in for us due to complications with our travel. This family owned hotel is one of the nicest me and my spouse have stayed at and we had such a nice experience. Would recommend this to everyone.

High-quality accommodation

Classy B&B-style accommodation set in beautiful gardens and close to the beach and Cowes restaurants. Good for couples and also for groups needing multiple rooms and large shared lounge, garden etc. Well-appointed kitchen and welcome small touches such as a very drinkable port in the rooms. Highly recommended.
