Wonderful Beach Stay

We had a wonderful stay. The place felt like home. It was clean and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. Tracey and Mac were very hospitable and were easily accessible if needed. It was a quick drive into town and a little market for any quick needs located just down the street. I would definitley book again. Thank you Tracey and Mac for sharing your home! We loved it!

Quaint Cosy Beach Getaway

My husband, parents, and I had the best time in Phillip Island at Tracey and Mac’s place! The house is even more cosy in person and was wonderfully laid out for the four of us and our dogs. The fire was perfect for keeping the whole house warm and the beds were warm and super comfy. We also loved the area and how quiet and peaceful it was while still being super close to everything! 10/10 would recommend!!

This place was ideal for a Christmas sojourn with our family (min age 30). The house is well stocked with equipment; is very pretty; and is away from the hustle and bustle of Cowes (over Christmas). The hosts have been very understanding (with the dubious connection with VRBO) and very friendly.

The perfect house and garden for a relaxing holiday for our family

We had such a great beach holiday at Mac's Beach House. Tracey and Mac really provided so many of the big and little things that enabled us to relax as soon as we walked in the front door, including a fully-fenced backyard and water bowls for our dog, a great library of books and DVDs, very comfortable mattresses, and a coffee machine! Thank-you both very much - we look forward to more holidays at Mac's Beach House.
