Enjoy the expansive outdoor oasis, complete with a pool, BBQ, and an inviting entertaining area. Ideal for long summer days and memorable evenings together.
With four spacious bedrooms accommodating up to 8 guests, the home is thoughtfully designed to combine comfort, style, and convenience.
Location is everything, and Malabar Retreat truly delivers. Just a short stroll from the Golf Club and only minutes by car to Cowes lively main street, you’ll have easy access to cafés, restaurants, and boutique shops.

Step inside to discover the heart of the home, a light filled open plan living area where the kitchen, dining, and lounge flow seamlessly together. It’s an ideal space for shared meals and conversations. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare family feasts or quick bites, while the dining table and comfortable lounge provide plenty of room for everyone to come together.
The master bedroom welcomes you with its spacious layout and a private ensuite featuring a large shower and toilet.
Off the kitchen, a well-appointed laundry with washing machine, dryer, and essentials ensures convenience during longer stays.
Down the second hallway you’ll find 3 additional bedrooms and the main bathroom, complete with bath, shower, and toilet, perfect for families with children or groups of friends. With four bedrooms in total, everyone has their own private haven to rest and recharge.
The alfresco area is a standout, offering outdoor seating and a BBQ for relaxed dining under the open sky. The real highlight, however, is the swimming pool, ideal for cooling off on warm days, letting the kids splash about, or simply soaking up the sun by the landscaped surrounds that enhance the home’s peaceful, holiday atmosphere.
Guests can enjoy the convenience of both garage and driveway parking. A secure garage and spacious driveway provide plenty of parking options during your stay, with ample space available for your vehicles.
Whether you’re here for a relaxing family holiday, a weekend with friends, or to explore all that Phillip Island has to offer, Malabar Retreat is the perfect base for your stay. With its spacious layout, great amenities, and unbeatable location, it’s a place you’ll want to return to again and again.
