Luxury Accommodation · Phillip Island, Victoria
The Verandah.
Part shelter, part ritual. A threshold between indoors and out — where the day softens, time loosens, and the sea is always just beyond.
Verandah Retreat is luxury accommodation on Phillip Island, 200 metres from the sea. A beach house in Cowes designed to be lived in rather than rushed through. The kitchen is yours. The long table holds everyone. The dog has the run of it. The fire is already set.

The fire is already set. The wool blankets are out. The season for slowing down is here — and there is nowhere better to do it than this. Midweek or weekend, the house is waiting.

Kind words
Loved by the people
who stay.
"
I cannot put any other accommodation in the same bracket. The luxury, tranquillity and cleanliness of this property is second to none. The homely feel you get from the moment you walk in is fantastic. Location is in a quiet part of Cowes, walking distance to shops.
"
We chose this house for the wood fire, and it didn't disappoint — such an inviting, warm and snuggly house, it was perfect. Walking distance to Cowes was great for us as well. Ten out of ten recommend this house.
"
I almost want to keep this fantastic house a secret. Excellent location in a quiet neighbourhood, just a few minutes' walk to the beach. The entire house is spacious, well-equipped, and has a great sense of style.
