Welcome to Glen Isla House
Set in the grounds of the historic Glen Isla Homestead (circa 1870), award winning Glen Isla House offers discerning guests old-world charm and refined elegance,
the very finest surroundings in a secluded heritage garden of 2 acres with a beachside location on Phillip Island.
The Glen Isla homestead is one of the oldest homes on the island. Soak-up the country-house ambience and extensive heritage gardens!
Adjacent to a pristine North-facing sandy beach (100 metres to the water),
Glen Isla House is close to the Phillip Island Nature Park (nightly Penguin Parade and Koalas), and other attractions including the Cowes Golf Club,
swimming & surf beaches, Phillip Island Winery, native animal parks and the International Grand Prix Circuit.
Just a short walk away is the seaside township of Cowes with shops and restaurants.
