Some apartments feature a separate lounge area.

Self-Catering & Nearby Dining

There is no on-site restaurant. Each apartment has a kitchenette for self-catering, and BBQ facilities are available on the terrace. The main street of Cowes, a 5-minute walk away, has several restaurants and cafes.

Beachfront Recreation & Activities

The property is directly opposite Cowes Beach. Guests can borrow bicycles to explore the area, use the BBQ area, or access a nearby golf course. A children's playground is across the street. The apartment also offers a free DVD library.

Prime Location Near Attractions

The Waves Apartments sits on the Esplanade opposite Cowes Beach. It is a 6-minute drive to Phillip Island Wildlife Park, 14 minutes to Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, and 15 minutes to the Penguin Parade. The main street with shops and restaurants is within a 5-minute walk. Secure undercover parking with reserved spaces and lift access are provided.

Contactless Check-In & Amenities

Guests receive detailed instructions for contactless self-check-in. Services include express check-in/check-out, 24-hour security with CCTV, key access, and a lift. Free high-speed Wi-Fi is available. On-site facilities include BBQ equipment, bicycle rental, and a coin-operated laundry. The apartment complex is non-smoking throughout.

“The positioning here is quite remarkable, directly across from the beach and shops, making for a truly convenient base. The apartments themselves feel generously proportioned, and the inclusion of a spa bath in many is a thoughtful touch I appreciated. Secure parking is also a definite plus for peace of mind.”
