Charming, welcoming hosts Serena and Eric have carefully transformed Holmwood Guesthouse into a stylish boutique B & B with three elegantly appointed rooms, two luxury self-contained cottages for two persons with spa bath and two two-bedroom townhouses with spa bath bathrooms. Holmwood is situated in a quiet tree lined street in Cowes nestled amongst an extensive cottage garden. Surrounded by tall gum trees, you can take in the fresh air and marvel at the tameness of the wildlife. Surrounded by water, the island's climate is much milder than Melbourne and makes Holmwood the perfect retreat all year round. In the Guesthouse you can choose from three beautiful guest bedrooms, all with ensuite bathroom and individually furnished with antiques and quality appointments. The high ceilings, fretwork and ceiling roses retain the atmosphere of a bygone era, whilst modern day facilities ensure you can relax in total comfort! As you sink into the deep comfortable chairs in the guest lounge, feeling a tad full after a hearty cooked breakfast, you may wonder: should you go for a walk along the beach or stay here in front of the open fire with the morning paper, or a good book? Let yourself be pampered - a warm welcome awaits your arrival. Relax with afternoon tea in Holmwood's sunny courtyard, the intimate restaurant or the lounge where comfy sofas and a log fire await. Lovers of good coffee will appreciate Eric's expertise with espresso, and his chef training is obvious when you stay for dinner; an irresistible menu tempts diners with the freshest Phillip Island produce. Holmwood Guesthouse offers a licensed dining room where breakfasts and dinners are served, depending on the season either alfresco on the outdoor deck or by the cosy open woodfire in the dining room. Local wines and produce feature on the menu, which is prepared fresh daily according to availability of produce and guests' preferences. Holmwood's excellent guest accommodation, your hosts' careful attention to detail, marvellously hearty breakfasts, and informative help with island sightseeing are sure to make your stay enjoyable. The world famous Penguin Parade and the Seal Rock Sea Life Centre are only ten minutes' drive away. International visitors will feel at home because Eric speaks fluent French, German and Dutch.Holmwood is suitable for couples, small families and groups up to 18. Features:
