The Point Villa

The villa is in a beautiful bushland location. It is simply furnished and compact but with everything needed for a quiet escape for a few days. We enjoyed the comfy bed, the walks around the resort with the creek, small lake, wildlife and birdlife, evenings at sunset near the pool with a cappuccino from Flametrees Restaurant onsite, and a takeaway pizza from next to Reception for dinner. Despite being on the main road into Cowes, which has good shopping facilities and a beachfront, there is no traffic noise at all. The Ramada Resort is situated in an oasis of Australian bushland. The owner’s communication was very good and respectful.

Only two small things that we didn’t like - the vacant villa behind us had left its bright outdoor lights on 24/7, which shone into The Point Villa at night (even through our curtains). This is obviously NOT The Point Villa’s owner’s fault. And, secondly, the full oven in the villa was not available for cooking. A small portable bench top oven was supplied instead which is adequate for reheating, but not as good for other baking if you like to do your own cooking, as we do.

Good location, had all the amenities. Suited our needs with a 1 night stay

No sugar!! Had some difficulty locking the villa when leaving.

Clean and comfortable little cottage. In a very quiet location with lots of different birds roaming around. Close to the penguin parade. Host was quick to respond. Definitely would stay here again.

Perfect location for the Penguin Parade! Only a 10-15 min drive away. It's the best option for summer trips, allowing you to get back and rest immediately after the show.

For over 180 AUD a night, the lack of basic toiletries like shampoo and conditioner was disappointing. Additionally, even though it gets extremely cold at night on the island, there was no heating provided
