The Continental Hotel located in Cowes Phillip Island is a very pleasant hotel to stay at in. The lovely Cowes beach, perfect for children, is just across the road from the hotel and the main street is only a short 1 minute walk away. The accommodation is reasonably priced, clean and very comfortable. On one side of the hotel is... More

We had the misfortune of booking the hotel through the Phillip Island tourist website so the pictures looked pretty good. We were stuck in the back "garden view" room with wide sliding glass doors offering minimal privacy, a room that i would compare directly to a prison cell with painted cinder blocks surrounding a sparsely furnished room. The bed was... More

we stayed here on the weekend of Tough Mudder. A very busy weekend for Phillip Island with most places being sold out. We stayed on the Saturday night in the hope of having an early night for an early rise the following morning. No such luck. The noise from neighboring rooms and the bar downstairs was so loud i only... More

We arranged for five couples (including ourselves) to stay in Cowes for three days, including two nights at the Continental Hotel. Most of us played golf at the excellent nearby Phillip Island Golf Course and the 30 minutes away golf course at Wonthaggi on all of the days, which was very enjoyable. Those who did not play golf found the... More

Don't even consider it.... The hotel claims three star for their ocean view rooms - by whose standards? To take a guess I would say self rated! My husband, 4 month old baby and I checked in on Friday night for two nights at $250 per night. We were allocated a third floor room - hardly practical with a young... More

I won tickets to the Superbikes including accommodation here. I rang prior to our stay after reading reviews to check on parking arrangements (to ensure our bikes would not be on the street). I was told the parking was off-street. On arrival, we discovered that our room was facing the street & the off-street parking was nowhere near our bikes... More

The Continental Hotel is a bit run down but you are paying for the great location. the rooms are a bit old and the cleaners need to do a bit of work, eg clean the bathroom. thats the last thing you want to have to do when you cheak into your room. but the service from the manager was second...
