Stayed here with extended family as part of a family trip to Phillip island with an overseas family member. Lovely property caters for the whole family. Is suitable for both children and dogs. Host very accommodating, flexible and was available to answer any questions as they came up. Will definitely be visiting again, our stay made a very memorable trip for our family.

#### Summer Family Memories
We were all very comfortable at Twin Beaches Resort. The house was clean and stocked with a number of extras. I have only given 4 to location and neighbourhood as the house is on a busy thoroughfare for both road traffic and late night time revellers. Thoroughly recommend this property.

#### Best Family Weekend!
From the moment we booked to the moment we left we loved everything about this home. Aaron is an incredible host, very accommodating and the tiny details (dog bed, bowl, colouring books, firewood all inc.) just made it such a great stay. We had 13 family members stay here for our mums 80th bday with no worries. Plenty of room and seperate spaces. The fire pit was awesome! Absolutely want to come back. Highly recommend!

#### Short break
Lovely property, would definately stay again. Great view from the back deck and great backyard. Loved having a carport to drive into. Situated in a good spot, 20 minute walk from main street of Cowes and easy walk to beach. Aaron was very friendly and easy to deal with. Only downside for us all was the beds were a bit firm in all rooms.
