Holmwood, a multi-award winning B&B set amongst a colourful garden just 200m from the beach and Cowes' town centre, provides a choice of traditional ensuited guest rooms or self contained cottages! Come and discover why island living is so relaxing!
Phillip Island, just 1½ hours drive from Melbourne CBD and well known for its Fairy Penguins, is also home to Australia’s largest Fur Seal colony and other wildlife. Numerous walking trails dot the island, which has 100km of coastline, consisting of sunny beaches and rugged cliffs.
Your hosts, Serena and Eric, have created a fine example of what can be achieved with youth, foresight and energy! Originally starting life in 1934 as a private residence, Holmwood has been transformed into a stylish retreat, providing a selection of quality accommodation.
For the traditionalists there are three rooms in the guesthouse, all with ensuite:
• Toile Room, indicative of a French country house.
• Jane Austen Room, furnished in a traditional English country house style.
• Nelson Room, colourful and bright.
The guest lounge, with open fireplace, comfortable sofas, daily papers, books, lifestyle magazines and games, is hard to resist to retire to after a hearty cooked breakfast.
Those who prefer more privacy would find it difficult to choose between the two cottages. Though they both feature slow combustion fires (in winter), TV, DVD, HiFi, aircon, as well as kitchenette and dining, Oriental Cottage has a spa bath, whereas Coastal Cottage has a lovely deep bath. Their individually landscaped courtyard gardens continue the theme, and provide a perfect oasis to relax in.
