Stayed 2 nights in standard room. Very clean and owners very helpful. Meals at RSL nearby good but overpriced but normal for this region. Motel on outskirts of town so a good walk to water. 1st night woken at 6am by inconsiderate car racing fraternity also staying in motel. Next night had a great sleep, very quiet. Tip - if... More

This was a gem of a Motel recommended once again by Trip Advisor reviews. Large clean rooms with extremely pleasant owners. The bed was very comfortable & there was a microwave oven & facilities for providing your own breakfast. There was a laundry free of charge and a dryer if needed. Parking was directly in front of your room with... More

We were only going to stay for one night but extended it to two. If we'd had the time we would have stayed longer. It was a lovely motel and very clean. The room was quite large and the owner Janine was so pleasant to deal with. This is one motel we would recommend to anyone going to Phillip Island.... More

I have stayed here on many occasions and overtime its easy and clean! I love that you can park your car at the door, arrive at ridiculous hours and the room has the lights on and heater on ready for you. The rooms are much larger than a standard hotel, so easily able to fit children or couple of pull... More

Great accommodation at a great price. Rooms were in great condition and the beds were comfortable. Janine was very helpful with directions and information. Even when we left something in the room, Janine when beyond expectations to get the item back to me. I high recommend this place to everyone. More

This was our second time staying here, exactly a year after the first time and exactly the same price as last time which is why I've upgraded my rating! The rooms are generous in size, nicely furnished and well equipped and most definitely they are the cleanest rooms we've ever stayed in .. they're spotless! The owners are nice and... More

We stayed in a 2 bedroom family room. Spacious and clean. Microwave in the room saves our day with young ones. Was chatting with receptionist and she understand that I have laundry to do hence she changed my assigned room next to the laundry room, it save us from walking more distance to check out our laundry. Configuration of bed... More

Prior to arriving on Phillip Island we'd looked into accommodation via the Phillip Island website and this motel wasn't listed. It was only driving into Cowes that we came upon it. It looked new despite being built in 1998. We also saw that it was a block down from the RSL Club so that made it more appealing to us.... More

If you and your family thinking of visiting Cowes on your next weekend getaway then I would highly recommend the Arthur Phillip Motor inn. It may have cost a little more than those motels around and with very basic facilities (DVD optional) but It's a nice modern motel with friendly/helpful staff at the reception and 5 star cleanliness.
