A wonderful B&B. My boyfriend and I booked in last minute over the Australia Day long weekend using wotif.com. Glen Isla matched the wotif description perfectly. Upon check in, our host described features of the area and recommendd some lovely restaurants for dinner. We stayed in the oriental room which was lovely and comfortable. Highlights were complimentary water in our... More

My husband booked the beautiful Glen Isla House for our wedding anniversary and it really lived up to the reviews on trip advisor. Great accommodation, fantastic location and lovely hosts who were extremely helpful. I would recommend Glen Isla House for anyone wanting a special getaway in Phillip Island slightly off the beaten track. More

We never felt like we were paying customers, instead we felt that we were being cared for by friends who simply wanted us to relax. Comfortable bed, quiet and beautiful surroundings made the place a retreat. More

Hosts, Madeleine & Ian, are so, super friendly!! The rooms are neat, tidy, and clean. The hosts adapted to our need for an early check out & had breakfast for us before their usual serving time. Our only complaint, is that we could not spend more time at Glen Isla House, with these lovely people!! More

Outstanding service, excellent food, and lovely rooms...without doubt the best place I have stayed for a long time (and I do have the good fortune to travel a lot for pleasure, and the misfortune to travel a lot on business). No hesitation at all in recommending this as a great place to stay while on the island. Oh, and the... More

On the road to Phillip Island we were looking in a guide book and saw a good listing for Glen Isla House. We rang them to see if they had availability for 2 nights. They only had one but we took it. We didn't regret it. It turned out that they were off the island the second night and consequently... More

My partner and I recently made a trip to Philip Island and stayed at Glen Isla house after reviewing recommendations from Tripadvisor - and we are so glad we did. I had originally asked for a yellow room, but when I arrived we were given a green room - as the other wing of the house was occupied by three... More

Great location ,close to beach but kind of secluded amongst the well established gardens. Friendly hosts made us very welcome and the food was excellent. Rooms have different themes which are tastefully done. Superb getaway for couples. More
