Best location. Most wonderful host - Amazing fireplace with the smell of woodsmoke in the air when you enter the building. Room was perfect size - spacious -with a beautiful beautiful bathroom featuring a spa bath and rain shower, an absolutely divine and refreshing way to start the day... just to end it with your own private Jacuzzi outside under the twinkle of fairy lights on your private balcony. They had everything you could want - from champagne buckets to your own dressing gowns and slippers. What a perfect stay for our anniversary. We wouldn't stay anywhere else on Phillip island in the future.

Location excellent, room itself had a WOW factor and the host Jenny even rang us prior to find out our eta which was a good touch. Upon arrival we were eventually greeted by Harley who was a delightful if not eccentric man with a somewhat different take on the world which could be mistaken for being confronting however his introduction to The Castle we found quite amusing.

Ronald

Lovely ambience in Erehwon Suite. Spacious with separate loungeroom. Indoor & outdoor bathrooms with spa baths & showers. Nice lighting & interesting artworks. Plenty space for clothes etc. Close to the beach with lovely gardens. Friendly owner who supplied everything we needed. All in all a delightful experience. Hope to stay again sometime.

Patricia

Very comfortable accommodation in the Castle Main house. Large bedroom with elevated small balcony overlooking the garden, and separate sitting room and bathroom. Bed very comfortable and everything is generally well appointed but within an older house. Located a 5 min walk from the centre of Cowes. The garden is a feature!

Shane

I had an excellent stay in the lovely Villa by the Sea. There was an interesting, arty aspect to the entire property and everything had been thought about with care and taste. I enjoyed returning to my cosy room after a long beach walk and felt safe and snug and peaceful while I was there.
