Near enough to reach on a short drive from Melbourne (1.5 hours) but far enough to feel like you’ve had a real escape, Phillip Island is Victoria’s holiday sweet spot.
The island is famous for its Little Penguin parade and the legendary Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix, but there’s much, much more to see and do, let us be your guide to getting out there and experiencing it all. Feel the sand between your toes, watch with an eagle eye for whales, dolphins and seals or take a cruise with Wildlife Coast Cruises to get up close and personal. Phillip Island has everything you would want from a coastal hub. It is simply one of Victoria’s most beautiful settings for nature with Churchill Island, the Nobbies and of course, the world-famous Penguin Parade giving you a wonderful appreciation for how spectacular this island really is; take the coastal drive from the Nobbies Centre and take a moment to breathe!
Are you feeling adventurous? Catch a wave, boogie board down the sand dunes of "Spew Hill" at Cape Woolamai, snorkel with the Stingrays at San Remo Jetty, take the Helicopter Scenic Flight or zoom around Go Karting. The Island is renowned for the Grand Prix after all! Entertaining the kids is a breeze with fun filled activities like Amaze N Things and the Chocolate Factory close by.
Cowes, Phillip Island's commercial hub, is an ideal base to soak up the Island's seaside holiday vibe! During the holiday season, Cowes is bustling as visitors and locals enjoy the buzzing cafes, waterfront restaurants, boutique shops and ocean views. During the summertime, Cowes main beach is patrolled by lifesavers and is a perfect location to spend the afternoon soaking up the sun and beach games on the foreshore (check for all patrolled beaches on the island).
Island Breeze Resort is 100 meters from the glistening ocean and is the perfect place to melt into holiday mode. There’s nothing like having a wine, a coffee or tea listening to the sounds of the ocean so close you can smell it. With 16 holiday units so close to the beach and town and shops only 2km away it truly is a hidden gem on The Island,
Our Resort Managers love The Island and pride themselves with giving you all of the local knowledge and information you need for the perfect holiday experience.
Once you cross that bridge, you are on "Island Time".
