| An
intimate & luxurious Mediterranean
style villa surrounded by the sea, sun
and sand in the heart of Cowes, the
main township of Phillip Island
Located
in a magnificent garden oasis and only
footsteps from the beach. Choose from
standard or luxury spa suites, cooked
gourmet breakfasts, room service or
restaurant dining.
We
only accomodate a small number of guests
to ensure your total privacy, comfort
and relaxation.
Your
hosts, Jenni and Harley Boyle, have
an extensive background in arts, entertaining
and hospitality and know how to make
your stay truly special.
The
Gardens - The magnificent gardens
are an outstanding feature of our villa.
Lovingly and painstakingly transformed
by Jenni in only a few short years,
they are designed to capture the ever
changing seasons and to create a private
oasis. Once surrounded by the gardens
you are truly in your own private world.
Winding paths could lead you to a secret
corner, a lily pond or a special sculpture.
It is a wonderful way to while away
the day and forget the outside world.

Restaurant is unique with it's cosy
and romantic ambience and provides candlelit
tables for two.
The
Gallery - Situated in a beautiful
corner of the rear gardens, The Gallery
features original artworks for sale
by Jenni and her daughter Freya (who
is also an artist).
Things
to see on Phillip Island - Phillip
Island is a jewel of an island set in
beautiful Westernport Bay.
It
is a thriving seaside and rural community
of 6000 residents who share this unique
natural attraction with visitors and
tourists 365 days a year. Surrounded
by pristine beaches, there are endless
activities to fill the day, swim, fish,
surf, sail or simply marvel at the abundant
rock-pools.
Take
in a nature walk or hire a bike to explore
the island at your own pace.
Every
evening you can see the fairy penguins
who magically appear at dusk and parade
along the beach to nest. Phillip Island
is also home to one of the largest fur
seal colonies in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Island's koalas have their own special
enclosure where viewing can be made
from specially built boardwalks.There
are also vast numbers of seabirds and
other native birds including the Short
Tailed Shearwaters, who arrive via Siberia
and make for a very special sight at
dawn and dusk when they leave and return
from their day at sea. Elsewhere wallabies
and echidnas can be seen in the grassy
shrublands.
