This place was ideal for a Christmas sojourn with our family (min age 30). The house is well stocked with equipment; is very pretty; and is away from the hustle and bustle of Cowes (over Christmas). The hosts have been very understanding (with the dubious connection with VRBO) and very friendly.

Wonderful break in Phillip Island

We had a wonderful time. The property was just as described and our dog Elliott was very safe in the secure yard and it was just a short walk to the dog beach which was great.

The perfect house and garden for a relaxing holiday for our family

We had such a great beach holiday at Mac's Beach House. Tracey and Mac really provided so many of the big and little things that enabled us to relax as soon as we walked in the front door, including a fully-fenced backyard and water bowls for our dog, a great library of books and DVDs, very comfortable mattresses, and a coffee machine! Thank-you both very much - we look forward to more holidays at Mac's Beach House.

My husband, parents, and I had the best time in Phillip Island at Tracey and Mac’s place! The house is even more cosy in person and was wonderfully laid out for the four of us and our dogs. The fire was perfect for keeping the whole house warm and the beds were warm and super comfy.
