Owners at Glen Isla
Set in extensive private gardens , Glen Isla House offers very fine surroundings & refined accommodations to adult guests, that only genuine history imbues. Wildlife experiences at the Phillip Island Nature Park (Little Penguins & Koalas just 10 minutes drive from the property. A pristine sandy beach is 120 metres (direct access) out the back gate, & surf beaches a short drive. Breakfast? A substantial European-style breakfast inspired by our professional chef is available on selected days only, at an additional cost per person. (breakfast is served in the elegant dining room overlooking the secluded heritage gardens). The kitchen/dining room does not operate every day & there are cafe's that offer breakfast just 3 minutes drive away, should Glen Isla's dining room not be open for breakfast during your stay. We can also recommend selected local restaurants for lunch & dinner nearby, some walking distance. Glen Isla has been welcoming guests since 2003 & many guests returning over the years to find Glen Isla just as they remember it from their first visit. This is an ADULTS ONLY property.
Phillip Island is freely accessible from the mainland by permanent drive-on drive-off bridge. The world famous Little Penguins and the nightly Penguin Parade are 10 minutes drive from Glen Isla but advance reservations for the Penguin Parade are a must as they do sell-out completely in warmer months. Restaurants, cafes and shops are 1700 metres away in the seaside township of Cowes, and a pristine sandy beaches for swimming or surfing abound on the island. The Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, home of the Australian round of MotoGP and World Superbikes is just 10 minutes drive from Glen Isla.
