Stayed in beachfront suite. Spacious with 2 single beds for young kids. A well-kept kitchenette with various utensils. Drinks inside refrigerator available for free! Nice view from the balcony. The beach and playground are just across the road. Good to drive there with covered garages. Reception staff was very friendly. As it closed at 10pm, we were notified of the... More

We recently stayed at The Waves Apartments for 1 night. We booked a beachfront suite which has views of the water. The other rooms which are slightly cheaper appear to face onto the parking area. We were very happy with our choice, which we had booked directly through the establishment website. The staff at the reservation desk were very friendly... More

These apartments are really nice. There are 2 sections, one that is only 3 years old and the other which is six years old. We chose the ones that were 3 years old and a lot more modern, though a bit more expensive. We chose these apartments from the internet and for the first time in a while, what we... More

We booked this accomodation through online travel.com and got a better deal than going direct with the hotel. We were a little worried after reading reviews stating that the non sea view rooms were not great. We found our room to be fantastic, modern and roomy. The only down side was we all (two adults and two children) kept sneezing... More

We got here via a last minute enquiry at tourist information in Newhaven (which was so helpful). Reception at the Wave could not have been more friendly. The superb room was really two rooms, one with a huge (very comfy) double bed and the other with three fully adult sized singles. Excellent facilities in the room, including a kitchenette. Easily...

We spent one night in the waves apartment at philip islands, and enjoyed it as a quiet, tidy place to be with beautiful panorama see view. The points that I did not like: - I was supposed to have an indoor parking bay but when I arrived at night there was no spot available and I parked the car outside.... More

We stayed for one Saturday night to allow us to explore Phillip Island over the weekend. The location was good and the room was comfortable enough. Although we travelled as a couple, we opted for a larger room/apartment that actually sleeps 5 as we wanted to have sea views. We were on the second floor and a higher floor would... More

We stayed here for one night and have to say that was long enough. Not really worth the money and is one of those places where the photos make it look much nicer than it is. The rooms are average and the beds uncomfortable. The location is amazing though and waking up to crashing waves is beautiful. The rooms are... More

We arrived seeking a place for 2A / 3C (15, 13 & 10) and to our surprise were given what was called a "Studio Apartment". This was by far the most wonderful apartment - plenty of room. Entrance into a room consisting of Bunk beds and single bed, room had a TV, Fully equipped kitchen and dining table. Sliding door... More
