Phillip IslandTowers

In the heart of Cowes, a few minutes' walk from the beach and the town's shops and cafes, this locally run tower holds modern one-, two- and three-bedroom self-contained apartments built with families and larger groups in mind. Each has a full kitchen, laundry, air conditioning, pillow-top beds and crisp white linen. It's part of a small Phillip Island group that also runs two nearby properties and carries Quality Tourism and Sustainable Tourism accreditation, putting the penguins, surf beaches and the Cowes waterfront within easy reach.
