Great (and very well maintained) outdoor area ideal for families, with a playground, pool and barbecue facilities. Fun outdoor games scattered around the yard too. The kids loved it and spent lots of time outside. Very friendly helpful staff.

Woodbyne Cottages is a fabulous place to stay
The manager was so welcoming and helpful
The 3 bedroom cottage was so spacious clean and private with a large grassed space outside
The toilet is through the laundry not in the bathroom which was great for privacy
The pool was beautifully maintained and the bbq area spotless
We strolled into Cowes twice which took about 15 minutes
We loved everything about this place and will definitely be back

Nice stay but wifi was woefull
The cabin was comfy and everything worked fine except the wifi. The pool was not available on time one morning as it was still being cleaned, the cleaner didn’t speak English so couldn’t find out when it would be open. I had arranged my morning for a run then a swim so was annoyed at this delay.

Precious family time
My family and I had a great time, we got what we were looking for! Comfort, cleanliness and close proximity to all local attractions. A good place to get together from your day to day activities!
What a great little spot to stay. Just out of Cowes and so peaceful. We could sit on the balcony and watch the wallabies next door in the evening. Only six cottages, all with covered space for your car, and lots of room inside. We stayed in a 2 bedroom and it was great. Everything we needed for the stay was included, we would definitely stay here again. Oh, and lovely hosts too.

A lovely place to stay
This is a lovely site. Ignore the word ‘resort’ if that conjures up large numbers of people and cabins. There are only 6 cabins in a well maintained landscaped park. It’s handy for all attractions on the island

Very clean and generous sized apartment. Has everything you need inside. Unfortunately aircon was smelly so we couldn’t use it. A couple of more extra blanket would be helpful in the small bedroom as it gets cold at night even in January

The property is in a good location on the island and we enjoyed seeing the kangaroos in the open field as well as the koalas in the reserve nearby. It is a simple cabin/cottage which was cold for us because there is no heating and the weather was cool.
I repeat my complaint about the instant coffee offered in the majority of rentals in Australia! What a shock not to have a simple coffee machine available. I hope that changes because instant coffee is dreadful.
There is a lovely restaurant on the property which added a very nice touch for a one night stay. I wish them success.

This resort blew me away with an amazing spacious cottage, with everything I could have wished for. The staff were so accommodating and helpful and the beds were so comfortable. I will be telling everyone about my experience and will be staying here again!
