About the home
“Original Beach Retreat” is a character filled double-storey mud brick cottage that has been tastefully renovated and extended to become part of the Phillip Island Hot Springs Retreat, located just 900m from the Hot Springs (opening 2026), 280m from the beach, and just a short drive from the supermarkets, restaurants & cafés of Cowes.

The Retreat
There are four dwellings on the block, just metres from each other, sharing the amazing facilities.

The second dwelling is the Island Beach Retreat - a brand new one-bedroom addition that is perfect for a couple or small family. The third dwelling is the newly renovated Forrest Caves Retreat - a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom wheelchair friendly accommodation. The fourth dwelling is the Seafoam Retreat - another newly renovated home with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. There are gates that can be closed off to provide separate spaces (with their own access) or opened up to create one fantastic Retreat with some shared facilities (if the whole Hot Springs Retreat is booked).
Indoor Areas
Downstairs is the light-filled north facing Living Room (with 50" smart TV, soft throw rugs & Panosonic sound system), an adjoining Kitchen/Dining area, a Bathroom (with shower) and a separate Toilet. For those that love a cozy spot to curl up with a good read, there’s the oversized daybed, surrounded by windows that overlook the garden and let the sunlight flood in. An extension on the rear of the original Mud brick cottage has a second Living Room (with 50" smart TV), fully equipped European Laundry (with washing maching and clothes dryer) and Bedrooms 2 and 3.
Upstairs is the stunning loft-style main Bedroom (with a study desk & chair) with original feature round windows overlooking the sand dunes, where a stunning beach lies beyond & migratory birds glide in nightly over the Summer to nest on sunset.
