When to rent a villa in Cowes

When it comes to planning your villa holiday in Cowes, the timing is everything. If you're looking for warm weather and long days, visit Cowes during the summer months (December to February). This is the peak tourist season on Phillip Island, with average temperatures ranging from 22°C to 28°C (72°F to 82°F), making it perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and other water activities. However, be prepared for larger crowds and higher prices.

If you prefer milder weather and smaller crowds, consider visiting Cowes during the shoulder season (March to May or September to November). The temperatures are still pleasant, ranging from 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F), making it ideal for outdoor activities like walking, cycling, and exploring the island's wildlife. These periods also offer great deals on villas and other accommodations, so you can enjoy a more affordable and relaxing holiday.

Where to go in Cowes

Cowes is a charming coastal town on Phillip Island, with a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere that's perfect for a villa holiday. If you're looking for a quieter experience, head to the eastern end of the town, where you'll find a string of beautiful beaches, including Rhyll and Ventnor, which are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. Take a leisurely walk along the waterfront, or rent a bike and explore the surrounding countryside.

For a more vibrant experience, head to the western end of town, where you'll find a range of great restaurants, cafes, and shops. This area is also close to the Phillip Island Golf Club, if you're looking for an activity that's a little more challenging. And if you're visiting during peak season (December to January), be sure to check out the Cowes foreshore, which hosts a range of events and activities, including markets, live music, and fireworks displays.
