Phillip Island Accommodation
Phillip Island Hotels
| Whether you are a nature lover or love motorcycle and car racing, our Phillip Island hotels allow you to enjoy all the island has to offer, from penguins, seals, koalas and birds, to the famous Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. The island is just a 90 minute drive from Melbourne, with a bridge connecting the island to the mainland at San Remo, and we have great rates on Phillip Island accommodation to suit everyone. Our Phillip Island hotels are a great base to visit the Island’s internationally renowned nature attraction, the Penguin Parade. Every sunset around 4500 Little Penguins, native to Australia and standing just 33cm tall, make their way up from the sea to their burrows in the sand dunes on Summerland Beach. Our Phillip Island accommodation also acts as a great base for seeing the largest colony of Australian Fur Seals, 1.5km offshore at Seal Rocks. The colony can be seen with binoculars from the island at The Nobbies or by taking a boat cruise from Cowes out to the rocks. Phillip Island is surely a bird-watcher’s paradise, with Rhyll Inlet on the north coast being home to a wide variety of wading birds including spoonbills, oyster catchers, herons and egrets, Swan Lake being an important habitat for black swans, and Cape Woolamai hosting around 120,000 short-tailed shearwaters, also known as muttonbirds, from September to May after their migration from the Arctic Circle. While staying in our Phillip Island accommodation see 1500 koalas in the wild by taking the ferry to French Island, or get up close and personal with them on the elevated boardwalk at the Koala Conservation Centre. Phillip Island is not only renowned for its natural highlights, it is also famous for the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit which dates back to 1928 and hosts a number of annual international racing events, including the World Superbike Championship in April, the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix in October and V8 Supercar racing in November. The track is booked over 280 days of the year, but is worth a visit even if there is no event scheduled as the visitor centre boasts many classic cars and a history of motor racing display, or you can race go karts on the adjacent replica track. Or use our Melbourne accommodation as a base to explore Phillip Island and the rest of Victoria. Image courtesy of Destination Phillip Island. |
