Just a short drive from Melbourne (about 1.5 hours), Phillip Island offers the perfect escape while still being close enough to the city.
The island is famous for its Little Penguin Parade and the iconic Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix, but there’s so much more to offer. Feel the sand beneath your toes, keep an eye out for whales, dolphins, and seals, or take a Wildlife Coast Cruises tour for an up-close encounter. Phillip Island is a coastal paradise, featuring stunning natural attractions like Churchill Island, the Nobbies, and the world-famous Penguin Parade. Don’t miss the coastal drive from the Nobbies Centre—take a moment to soak in the breathtaking scenery!
If you’re seeking adventure, catch a wave, sandboard down the dunes at Cape Woolamai, snorkel with stingrays at San Remo Jetty, or enjoy a scenic helicopter flight. Go-karting is another exciting option—after all, the island is famous for its Grand Prix! Keeping the kids entertained is easy with attractions like Amaze N Things and the Chocolate Factory.
Cowes is a fantastic base for enjoying the island's seaside holiday atmosphere. During the holiday season, Cowes comes alive with bustling cafes, waterfront restaurants, boutique shops, and stunning ocean views. In the summer, the main beach is patrolled by lifeguards, making it an ideal spot for a sunny afternoon of beach games (be sure to check for all patrolled beaches on the island).
Island Breeze Resort is just 100 meters from the sparkling ocean, providing the perfect setting to unwind. Enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of coffee while listening to the soothing sounds of the sea. With 16 holiday units located near the beach and just 2 km from shops and amenities, it truly is a hidden gem on the island.
Our Resort Managers are passionate about Phillip Island and are eager to share their local knowledge to help you create the perfect holiday experience.
Once you cross that bridge, you’ll truly be on "Island Time."
