A group of four 30something adults rented a family villa for one night. We only had two days on Philip Island and obviously the Penguin Parade was the main attraction. The static cabin was large, spacious and clean. It included one room with double bed and a second room with two bunk beds to sleep four. The beds were clean... More

Great little place near town. Swimming pool was great after a long hot day at Phillip Island raceway. Just one block from the main street through town. Good clean rooms and shared bathrooms. For someone on a budget this is the place.

Firstly I must say that the staff were great, we'd messed up a booking somewhere else and they went above and beyond to help us! The rooms are really nice and comfortable.. We had a double, shared bathroom. The kitchen facilities are adequate, and the lounge/communal area comfortable and clean. A good choice!

We stayed at Amaroo on Christmas day on our recent Australia trip. Almost all hotels were booked out during this busy season so we were lucky to find this accommodation. We opted for double room with shared bathroom. The room was clean and came with free wifi. One thing to note is that the reception shuts at 6pm. We called... More

The overwhelmingly positive reviews in Trip Advisor from July 2012 to now are spot on. The management team and staff have... More

Located in a nice and quiet area not far from the City centre within few minutes walking distance a large supermarket and all others convenient stores. The staff... More
