BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Phillip Island

10/10 Excellent

"We love it here! We’ll definitely be back"

Peppers Moonah Links Resort

8/10 Good

"The stay was relaxing, quiet and enjoyable. Friendly staff on reception and in restaurant/bar. There were stairs to my room so had to carry bags up one level. The room furniture seemed tired and basic although comfortable. Most amenities such as good quality soaps, Nespresso coffee, and tea were provided, but there were no tissues, no decaf tea, and no bottled water or minibar snacks. A minibar selection of snacks and drinks or hallway vending machine would’ve been nice as the rooms are away from the main reception and clubhouse building, but room service and snacks could be purchased at reception. Overall a great stay with beautiful golf course views."

Amaroo Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"We only needed somewhere for a night and the price was great. The guy at reception was friendly and he upgraded our cabin. The cabin was really nice. We did not expect much for the price we paid but were surprised at how good the place was. Electric blanket was another win for a winter night. So close to the shops or walk to the beach. Will definitely be locking this place in if we are back this way in the future."
