Genesta House Bed & Breakfast

Traditional bed and breakfast in Cowes offering cooked breakfasts and period charm near the beach.

One of Phillip Island's original guesthouses — a 100-year-old heritage property on Steele Street undergoing careful period renovation, a few minutes' stroll from the Cowes town centre and beach. Three suites, each with ensuite and kitchenette: Lilly Pilly, the chandelier-and-vintage-wallpaper Maple, and the spacious Fernery with its own verandah access.

Continental breakfast is included, and hosts Marcus and Simonne add welcome touches — chocolates, port, fruit — along with local recommendations.

Book direct through the Cloudbeds system on their website; gift vouchers are available.
