Very clean, beds were comfortable, pillows nice and firm. Would stay here again, only issue was another guest must have had a dog with them as it would not stop barking in the middle of the night.

Great place to stay on Phillip Island (Cowes).
My adult daughter and I loved the Arthur Phillip Motel. The room was a really good size, super clean and there was all we needed to warm up/cook some items in the microwave and not only tea and coffee options provided , but biscuits too. The bathroom had plenty of counter space for our toiletries. The motel has its own lovely grassy area with picnic tables. And outside each unit, a small table and chairs.
