Gorgeous grounds and gardens, very peaceful and quiet. Comfy bed, very clean. I was a little sceptical because it was on the cheaper side so I was concerned it may not be the best but it was excellent value for money. I'd definitely stay again.

I arrived after dark due to my flight arrival time and there could have been more lighting at reception and the room areas as it took a while to find the room in the dark. Also given it was a self contained room, a small dining table and chairs would have made it easier to eat meals.

I expected, that it's some type of temporary building - if it is, it's my first time when I see such good quality and well-equipped pod. Really, the room includes everything you could need. The best were ventilation and air conditioning. Accommodation on Phillip Island as usual is expensive - this place is a really hidden gem. The pool was perfect ❤

If you don't have a car: to Cowes it's around 40 min by foot - other options are hitchhiking (working good except rainy weather), a bus (1-2 times per day) or Uber (around 20 AUD). If in the middle of the night you hear sound like somebody is being killed - don't be afraid, it's opossums :)

The location was great and made it a convenient location to stay in proximity to the places we needed to go while in the area. The apartment itself was spacious, clean and nice to stay in.

Minor issues such as limited soundproofing on the front of the apartment meaning sometimes noise carried when other guests were making noise in the shared outdoor space which was frustrating while trying to get our toddler to nap. Was also disappointed that despite the property claiming not to be pet friendly, there was another guest who seemed to have their dog staying. We would have loved to have had our dog stay with us rather than needing to find alternative accommodation for him. But overall, there was nothing significantly wrong with the property.

The one bedroom apartment was a great size for a family of 3. The kitchen in the apartment was well equipped with an oven, stove, microwave, pots and pans. The walk in wardrobe had a huge amount of storage space. Bed was comfy. The outdoor area was fantastic and we used the pool every day. The large lawn area is great for kids to play and our child loved playing with all the other children that were also staying here. Short drive to the shops and short walk to the beach Can’t wait to come back next year.

You could hear noise from the apartments upstairs and next door but this wasn’t a big deal for us.

We stayed in a pod. The facilities were high quality, and had a new and fresh appeal. The bed was very comfortable. The pod was very sound proof, providing privacy.

The steps from the car park to the board walk that runs along the pod doors, are poorly lit at night. This makes them difficult to navigate, especially for the elderly or those with poor vision. A white strip on the edge of each step and a hand rail could help to reduce potential accidents. One could question the level of hygiene of washing the plates and cutlery in the hand basin next to the toilet.

We arrived late (due to delays) - when the office was closed (at 4 pm on a Saturday !) - and had to beg a neighbour to let us use their phone to call the Emergency Number !! - But the staff person of the Sea Pavilions answered right away - AND they had left our room key with onstructions in the lock box - with combo # - so we could get in alright ! It helped overcome a moment of panic when we realized their office was closed so soon !

Loud neighbours - bellowing on cell phones across the property !

Clean and tidy

Door on pod that opens up to outdoor area would have good to have a screen door to let fresh air in

Pool was really nice, the staff on arrival, the view from the apartment and garden area was really lovely, bed was nice and clean.

No towel changes over six days, tiles loose in shower area, fittings in bathroom falling off the wall, stains on the settee, so we used the bed throw on it which was cleaner than the settee to sit on, the door didn't lock correctly and took a lot of messing to lock the door. There needs to be more shelf area in walk in cupboard area in bedroom. The apartment obviously was lovely at one time but not now.Its quite a walk to almost anywhere, shops or restaurants and a car is needed, I don't think this is stressed enough on the write up

The room was very comfortable. The contact person at the property was very helpful.

With a few very minor changes this accommodation could be perfect! Some shelving in the built-in wardrobe. There is only hanging space. It's nice to be able to unpack suitcases. Another towel rail. There is only room for one towel. So the bath mat and other towel has to be hung outside on the patio (luckily the weather was good) A full set of cooking utensils would also be appreciated.There wasn't even an egg lift or steak knives at all and only one t towel for a three night stay. Also the fridge is very temperamental. We had a bottle of wine explode because it froze.

The pods are comfortable and cosy but due to an unforeseen and understandable issue with the room, I was given un upgrade to a beautiful and spacious 1 bedroom apartment. Both rooms were very clean and well appointed, there was even a microwave in the pod, but having access to a full kitchen and the space to enjoy to cook and lounge around was lovely, especially after a sunset walk along the beach. Well maintained lawns, pool area and picnic tables. Fantastic location, easy to find, close to all the attractions but also walking distance to quiet beaches with beautiful views. I recommend a leisurely walk along the beach to Cowes and back, approx 5km round trip. The pool is a great temperature-solar heated. The staff are super friendly and can't do enough, made sure I had the extra coffee and pillows I requested with my booking. The bed in apartment was the most comfortable twin king I slept in, the zipped king is definitely superior. The bed in the pod room was a regular double, softer and very comfy. Would 100% stay in either the pods solo or for a quick trip or the apartments for a longer, more spacious and/or convenient stay. Can't wait to come back.

Loved every minute but perhaps, as when arriving by taxi or on foot you can't tell where the pods are, perhaps a sign pointing to the back of the carpark? Also salt and pepper grinders in the apartment kitchens wouldn't go astray.
