Cowes had some shops to look at plus the cafes and eateries had good food la porcehetta ( pumpkin risotto gluten free)plus the ice- cream shop at the end of main st had good sorbet ( strawberry).Plus a few golf courses.
3-4 days was the right amount to look around.

Cowes is a live town not just a tourist town with everything you need easily accessible. Lovely locals, lots of options, interesting and nature all around. Easy, short drive to Penguin parade and multiple beaches. Very clean, safe and picturesque, a great location from which to discover the island's many attractions.

Stayed at North Pier Hotel .
Stayed at North Pier Hotel . We booked family room which comes with an outdoor patio. Great location. Within walking distance to family friendly beach and restaurants. We had the best lamb curry in Chocolate Factory cafe. Not spicy, lamb was tender, suitable for kids. Love the fish and chips!! We purchased bundle pass which comes with Penguin Parade, Churchil Island (picnic area, picturesque view, Highlander cow), Koala Conservation (spotted lots of koala on the trees while walking on boardwalk). Highly recommended these places of interest.

I am sending these 2 photos as on the screen shot you see I paid for a studio with patio and balcony and all I got was this pod for $500 per night.
They lied about what my accommodation was to you.
Probably because they had a big group staying as well they decided to shove me down in a "trades pod".
Unacceptable! They need to give me a refund and booking.com can't trust them in the future!
Thanks Kerry

Location for brunch and lunch great, disappointed in evening meals.
Good base if you have car to explore island.
The Thai restaurant is an experience and great value and food. The two upmarket restaurants were disappointing, expensive and food unfortunately was underwhelming.
Quite large and spacious - would suit a large-ish group. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms nicely appointed and the couch was quite comfortable. We arrived during a day-long power outage so there was no electricity until about 1 the next morning - luckily the host had phoned us to advise that the power was out in the whole town so we got dinner on the way.
The location would be walking distance to Cowes centre in summer but not so much on a cold and windy winter weekend.
Beautiful home with lovely views, very close to Penguin Parade and in a safe quiet complex.
The apartment was pristine. The bed/linens super comfy.
The place is spacious, the views make you feel like you have the island to yourself.
We went to Melbourne after Phillips Island and stayed at a 5-star hotel, which felt like a hole-in-the-wall in comparison with the Hilltop apartments.
Thank you Eve and Chris for a wonderful stay!
Cowes is the place to stay on Phillip Island, and Captain's Nook is walking distance to the centre of town for shops, cafes and restaurants.
Birdlife and wildlife are excellent in the vicinity, Penguin Parade not to be missed (and worth paying for premier seats)
Captains Nook is very well set up, perfect for up to 5 people. Very comfortable bed, lovely spa bath, 2 lounge areas.
Quaint and cosy hidden accommodation.
Location is fantastic as it is down the road, a short walk from the beach and shops.

By far the best house I’ve stayed at in Phillip Island. We needed a place that was close to the track for the GP weekend and it ticked all the boxes.
Would highly recommend it for family or bunch of friends who are after a house with proper amenities as well as a spacious bedding and dinning area.
Location is a bit far from beach and shops but house size, amenities and cleanliness made up for it. Have stayed at places in Cowes that weren't as good as this house. You can walk to stuff but takes too long if you have small kids or need to bring back heavy items from shops.
House was a beautiful place to stay, clean and lots of space. Very near to everything we wanted to do on Phillip Island. Would recommend this place for anyone to stay.
Had everything we needed, and even had things for the kids to play with.
This property is well located, clean and comfortable. A great location to be in when staying in Cowes. Walking distance to cafes and restaurants. A short drive to the attractions on the Island. The view from the courtyard is wonderful.
Great location, on door step to beach. Room was comfy and clean.
Kids loved the pool n spa. Main shopping strip is very close approx 300m from hotel. Hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful.
The property was walking distance into the Main Street as well as to the beach. Great facilities within the house, great pool and everything we needed for a trip at Phillip island.
great private free standing villa so very quiet and away from the noise and crowds of Cowes .
wonderful facilities, with everything you need for a relaxing holiday
