Beautifully styled, Holmwood Guesthouse offers a choice between 3 spacious luxury bedrooms with private ensuites, and 2 self contained spa cottages. Mouthwatering breakfasts are very popular and included in the tariff. It's just a short stroll to the local shops, restaurants and beach from this gorgeous retreat. What a cosy place to unwind after a day at local wineries, or for the more adventurous, viewing 8000 seals at seal rocks, watching the twilight pengion parade or walking along rugged cliffs and deserted beaches. Or take in the excitement of World Superbikes, Hot Laps, Go Karts and V8 Supercars at the Grand Prix Circuit just a short drive away.
Morning sunshine and an outlook across Holmwood's magnificent cottage garden are just two reasons why the Garden Room with its king size bed will leave you feeling revitalised and ready for island adventures. And when the sun has moved on over the giant eucalypt trees, the soothing blue, mauve and white decor merges with the hues of the deepening twilight, creating a sense of tranquility.
First to greet the island sunshine and a riot of colour even when the skies are grey, the East Room has undeniable WOW factor. The biggest and brightest guest room, it features a king size bed that can be reconfigured as twin singles. You will be energised by the vibrance surrounding you in this elegantly appointed guest room.
Soft greens and creams with a splash of white cane make the Verandah Room with its queen size bed a comfortable vantage point from which to view Holmwood's gorgeous cottage garden and surrounds. Or sip wine in front of the crackling fire in the shared guest lounge and licensed dining area.
2 luxurious cottages with open plan design are perfect romantic retreats for couples. With separate courtyard access they are self-contained with queen bed (Inglenook) or King/twin (Driftwood), a lounge with wood fire in winter, a spa bath and a kitchenette. Landscaped courtyard gardens with private verandahs continue the cottage theme. Both feature HDTV with DVD, hifi with iPod dock, broadband access point, split system heating/air conditioning, fully equipped kitchenette, and bathroom with double spa bath.

An absolute gem and well worth staying in should you visit Philip Island. Quiet, peaceful location yet in Cowes close to restaurants, shops and all island attractions. We loved this place and would consider this our favourite overnight stop. Jill was welcoming and hospitable throughout and does a great breakfast. Our biggest regret is that we couldn't stay longer!
Victoria
