Great place to stay on Phillip Island (Cowes).
My adult daughter and I loved the Arthur Phillip Motel. The room was a really good size, super clean and there was all we needed to warm up/cook some items in the microwave and not only tea and coffee options provided , but biscuits too. The bathroom had plenty of counter space for our toiletries. The motel has its own lovely grassy area with picnic tables. And outside each unit, a small table and chairs.

Our space was clean and bright , quiet and spacious. Our hosts were welcoming, personable and made sure we had what we needed. The amenities were convenient and it was nice to have fresh milk in the fridge for coffee/tea in the morning as well as complimentary treats. Thank you. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this location and the area overall.

Very clean and spacious
Extremely clean and in good working order. Linen and sheets all crispy clean. Very spacious layout. We booked a queen bed and twin bed set up for 3 people and we were not falling over each other or our bags. Table was set for 3. Tea and coffee making was included with ample tea bags for 2 days for 3 people and a complimentary pack of biscuits - a very nice touch. Also included were 2 small tetra pack of milk. Kitchen kit for cleaning came in sealed packs.
