Reviews for Cowes Caravan Park
Review 1：cabin 4 bed very uncomfortable and felt clostaphobic,the shower did not work properly,and the floor was dirty,over priced for what it was.
Review 2：tidy park,great location.friendly staff
Review 3：My husband and I stayed at Cowes Tourist Park for our 5th Wedding Anniversary and also celebrating our first baby due November! I informed the tourist park that I'm pregnant just for safety precautions however upon arrival we were greeted by the friendly staff with a complimentary upgrade of accommodation. This was not necessary for them to do at all but was very much humbling on the kind gesture. The executive cabin we stayed in was clean, tidy and perfect!! The staff are faultless in every sense of the word. We thoroughly enjoyed our little getaway to Phillip Island. Will endeavour to return again with our baby! 10/10 no questions!!!
Review 4：Over priced for what it was. Just a glorified caravan and pictures look better than actually was. Also No cancellation policy sucks!
Review 5：Water pressure was good. Location was ok.
Review 6：Not clean, grit on floor, hair in bed. Linen not provided unless you pay additional fees. Even after paying it was not put on the bed, just given to us in a bag. Bed was uncomfortable and shoved in a corner with a falling down curtain around it. Even though park was not near full, we were given a room opposite maintenance shed and heard noise from this from 7am, after hearing garbage trucks from much earlier.
Review 7：Nothing.
Review 8：noise from neighbouring cabin,bed was a little uncomfortably sized and too firm
Review 9：within walking distance of town,knowledgeable friendly staff,on the beachfront ,easy access to beach fishing,shower/bathroom fascilities clean and tidy
Review 10：just the stickyness of the floor was a bit of a turn off the rest of the place was clean and well maintianed, maybe a plug available for the shower to make it easier to bath little ones to.
Review 11：loved the free upgrade to beach view unit, and the playground was good for kids.
Review 12：Excellent stay, great value. Super clean and super friendly staff. We were also upgraded to delux. Thank you, we will definitely be returning.
Review 13：We had two nights away and the Beach View cabin suited us (a couple) perfectly. The weather was cold and windy, but the cabin has a great heater and the view across western port bay was fabulous.
Review 14：Insufficient heating of unit - cold, lacking a "cosy atmosphere ".
Review 15：Personal office staff friendly and good to talk with. Good customer relations.
Review 16：I feel for the amount I paid for one night the facilities were a little bit disappointing. E.g lack of free wifi, no linen etc.
Review 17：The staff were absolutely lovely. The lady at the front desk was fantastic when I checked in to the park and gave me all the info I needed.
Review 18：I didn't like the fact I didn't stay longer Haha!!
Review 19：The kindness and helpfulness the staff had given us. So close to everything could even walk to the shops Room was very clean and spacious Quiet area not much noise or disturbance
Review 20：Paid top dollar for a beach view (we were in beach view no 4) but it was covered by other caravans and tents. Also, the piezo on the grill did not work and as a result had an injury. Grill should come with a warning! Space around bed in main bedroom too small to even walk around bed and one can easily snub toes if not careful. Not enough space to get dressed comfortably. Also had to take my own bedding and towels. I have stayed at other places for less and never needed to bring my own. Surprised the table and chairs are standing because they are all wobbly!
Review 21：We were just a few metres away from the beach, had cute rabbits visiting every night, enjoyed sitting on the front porch. Cabin was clean.
Review 22：The bed wasn't to my liking. Then again it's not MY bed so there isn't much to complain about. The Rec room was quite bare, large area that could fit many games. Especially a 'foosball' table.
Review 23：The security of a pass code and the freedom to roam the premises. The beach was a great back view of the caravan park.
Review 24：Needs to have a electric bbq in each cabin. Didn't like how we had to pay for everything ee used. We paid good money for the cabin. It fits 6 we should be able to let 6 people sleep without extra cost.
Review 25：Views were good but was expecting front cabins with more views.
Review 26：No way to light stove igniter broken on stove Heating poor little two bar heater hate to stay when really cold Basic accommodation
Review 27：Good location Good laundry Clean
Review 28：No table on veranda but there was chairs Friends in opposite cabin had a table and chairs. When you pay top dollar for beach view why bins right out side. There must be a better location for the bins or at least build a wall around them. Cabin décor very outdated Would not stay there again
Review 29：Clean unit
Review 30：We booked a standard cabin which online was nothing like what we got. Paid $440.00 for 4 nights, as soon as we saw how filthy the cabin was we asked for an upgrade, got charged an extra $100 and only stayed 3 nights..really disapointed

Review 34：We arrived and floors were mopped but sand all over couch and dinning chairs. Mirror and toilet bowl in bathroom were dirty. We had clean it, not something I wanted to do on my holiday. But overall when cleaned was very comfortable.

Review 36：Very clean and good cabin location. Helpful and friendly staff in the office.

Review 107：location friendly check in out staff very clean
Review 108：Nothing not to like
Review 109：Comfortable cabins. Excellent value for money
Review 110：Everything
Review 111：Nothing
Review 112：They could have made it more clear that we needed to bring our own sheets. We didn't know until we got there, and ended up buying a cheap set from Woolworths, so it wasn't too bad, but it would have been nice to know to bring our own.
Review 113：The cabin we were staying at was very self sustained, with a beautiful view. The heater, although not amazing, really did help on those cold days.
Review 114：Everrrrrything! The service was lovely, staff were so helpful and polite, close to town and 1 minute from the beach by foot. Couldn't have picked a better park to stay in!
Review 115：The hot water service was horrible. It was just off the cold and I had to boil pots of water to get a warm bath every day. I did ask to have someone look at it but I never got an answer
Review 116：My daughter & I enjoyed having the cabin right next to the beach. It was great to just walk along it each day and also very handy to the main centre of town. The Reception staff were very friendly and welcoming
Review 117：Bathroom and bedroom too small. Couldn't shut door as bunk beds too wide for room. No head room in bed. Same with bathroom too narrow.
Review 118：Very clean, quiet, comfortable double bed, private and very helpful staff.
Review 119：Pretty basic cooking facilities & crockery/cutlery, whichdidn't bother us, but some people might expect more.
Review 120：Beachview 1 cabin was only metres from the beach, looking out to thewater from inside the cabin and on the verandah. (There are oftencaravans & tents in between, but the cabin is set up higher, sodidn't bother us). It is just the right length walk along thesheltered north-facing beach into Cowes township, or along the Esplanade& roads if the weather not good. We found it to be a quiet caravanpark with nice 'neighbours'.
Review 121：Standard cabin used, bed needs to be thrown out! Too old and hard, Shower water too changeable to let my child use by herself. Hot to cold every 60 seconds, no warning.
Review 122：Very clean facilities, secure and great spot
Review 123：Blankets provided poor - thin foam no insulation value. Froze the last night. Only heater was strip heater mounted on wall in lounge area. If using cabins take your own doona.
Review 124：Abuts the beach. Staff very helpful & eager to help. Cabin recently refitted. Fit-out and layout very good. Park security very good.
Review 125：Only 3 little things - The first step up to the cabin was too high for an elderly lady so an additional step is required. There wasn't an outside table to use to put your drinks on whilst enjoying the scenery and the queen bed mattress was too hard.
Review 126：The location of our cabin was within a few steps of the beach and perfectly positioned to see the sea from the bed! The cabin was functional, comfortable and very clean. Security of the park was excellent and in off season, very quiet and serene.
Review 127：There's no airconditioning in standard cabin, which is very hot in summer. I have to wait until 11:00 pm to sleep because of the hot room. It is strongly recommed to equip with airconditioning. The cabin is a little old.
Review 128：The Enviroment is excellent with beatiful beach. The staff are friendly and professional.
