Reviews

  • Toby - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The Cottage

    “My partner and I chose Poets Corner for our overnight getaway to Phillip Island. From the moment we arrived, the place was exactly as pictured, if not better. Howard made the experience seamless and went above and beyond, excelling at the little things. Whether it was leaving a bottle of wine with glasses, a stocked pantry with essentials, or a cute wood fire set up ready to light, these touches made Poets Corner a delight and an incredibly welcoming experience. The quaint cottage is conveniently located a short drive from Cowes and nearby sights and experiences, and only a short walk from a beautiful beach and Forrest Caves. The cottage itself, along with the stunning garden, is expertly styled in a modern Australian and Japanese fusion aesthetic, with tasteful design and a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. The amenities throughout were modern, in great condition, and maintained to a high standard of cleanliness.”

  • Eloise - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The House

    “Such a beautiful home with Lots of character. Had everything you could want for a home away from home. Beds were comfortable, loved the two separate living spaces and most importantly the fireplace! Gorgeous touch as the temperatures were getting cooler in Phillip Island.


    Excellent location and only a short drive from cowes and other key locations on the island.


    Howard was a fantastic host and very responsive”

  • Harriet - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The Cottage

    “We had a great stay at the poets corner, the place was lovely and clean with all of the amenities we needed. The location was fantastic, walking distance to surf beach. Howard was a great host, quick with communication and making sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again”

  • Jane - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The House

    ”Howard is the host you always hope for. I can’t praise him or the home highly enough! He attended to questions immediately and was a brilliant problem solver.

    We had a wonderful stay.

  • Sarah - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The Cottage

    “Really enjoyed the stay at Howard’s place. Would highly recommend the property to anyone visiting Phillip Island.”

  • Lis - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The House

    ”Howard’s place is honestly one of the nicest Aribnbs we have stayed at. We recently stayed with our two small dogs. The house is a genuinely gorgeous and beautifully made space. It’s appointed with really quality amenities. It’s surrounded by lovely gardens that are obviously tended to with care. The outdoor spaces were so lovely and private to relax. We would love to come back and stay again.”
