The property is neat and clean on the first day, but if you are staying more than one day, you have to stay in the dirty room with no housekeeping. No Bin, no iron, no table, no hair dryer, no microwave for the food; the photo on the website for breakfast is fake, and the view is not real apart from the lounge. 1947 old style TV, not internet is working; if you are paying $1000 for two nights, then its not worth while, host is nice, but amenities are below average.

A personal touch
This is a very warm and homely, B&B type experience. The hosts are very experienced and went out of their way to make us comfortable. The bedroom is designed to be fairly basic but comfortable sleeping space, however the large and inviting lounge area is very much part of their hospitality that guests are encouraged to use. The views and grounds are a real highlight of the property. This would suit people looking for a personal, B&B experience hosted by owner/occupiers. Thank you for your hospitality.

Best located accommodation for a visit to the penguins.

Great for visiting Penguin Parade
A great place to stay for a trip to Phillip Island. Swan Lake Guest House is walking distance to the Penguin Parade and a short drive to a lot of the other landmarks. We were warmly welcomed and our room was comfortable. Watching the wallabies from our balcony in the evening was a nice extra.

Walking distance to penguin parade
Visiting Phillip Island to watch the Penguin parade. Location is within walking distance to attraction. Beautiful views. This is a guest house not a hotel. Individual rooms with their own bathrooms. The family lives in a house adjacent to the guest house. Friendly service. Restaurants and town are a few miles away on two lane country roads. The bedroom we had was large with its own sliding glass door to outside. There was outside sitting area. The lobby is on 2nd floor with beautiful views of the bay. The breakfast provided was good. Toast, cheese, warm croissants, condiments, fresh fruit (watermelon & grapes) coffee and juice served with a smile and friendly conversation. We visited in autumn, the off season. The room we were in could use an additional chair and table inside. We could hear the guest in the room above us moving around. The gate to the guest house is next to swan lake. The gate opened at 3. You drive a gravel driveway and park on grass in front of house. Overall a Plesant stay.
Nina
Ideally located for the Penguin Parade
Super friendly host, located so close to the penguins. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a large bathroom and wraparound balcony. Breakfast was inuded which was great. Swan Lake Nature Reserve is right next door and worth a quick look after breakfast, to see the birds.
Jeanine
Serene location & quality accommodation!
Beautiful location, perfect accommodation for penguin viewing. Bernadette was a caring, thoughtful host. Close to natural highlights of Phillip Island and only ten minutes from local town and restaurants. Highly recommended!!

The property is immaculately clean. It bothered me that there was no toilet roll holders in the bathroom. i am not sure why this was the case.
the owner is most welcoming but sometimes a bit over the top friendly. You can feel like an intruder not a guest on occasions. I wanted to watch the footy on Saturday night and I turned it on in the guest room and turned off the music that was playing. I went to my room only for 20sec to return to find the tv off and the music back on. ???????

Very comfortable, perfect for penguin parade
We stayed for one night while visiting Philip Island and enjoyed our stay a lot. The location was great, easy to get to Cowes town, the Penguin Parade and other Phillip Island attractions and adjacent to Swan Lake, which is beautiful and well worth a visit.
The 'Music Room' was large and very comfortable, with a nice view and parking was easy.. We really enjoyed chatting with Bernadette, one of the owners who made us very welcome and was a mine of useful information. We would certainly stay again if visiting the area and thoroughly recommend the hotel.

B&B experience plus Penguins!
We booked the Guest House because it is close to Penguin Parade and experienced excellent customer service - Bernadette couldn't have been more helpful! The room was lovely and the breakfast was very tasty and just what we needed to fuel us for more exploring.
Mathew
Great place to stay
Lovely place, well maintained and friendly service
Charles
Comfortable and well appointed B+B for penguins
A well set out and nicely appointed set up with large open plan breakfasting, and multiple sitting areas. Our room was nicely laid out with lots of space, with large comfortable bed, and the bathroom well appointed.
The reason for going is that this is the closest accommodation to the Philip Island penguins. As well as this ‘must see’ display, there is other local wildlife both at the adjacent Swan lake itself and just outside the window with an eagle hunting on the open grass out front in the morning.

Fantastic place, location & amazing hosts!
We had a last minute stay here to celebrate my birthday.
Amazing hosts - Bernadette was such a pleasure to meet and gave us an enormous amount of local knowledge and information on what to do which was very helpful. We were made to feel so welcome and well looked after.
Our room was lovely and the overall house was beautiful. We loved the location with it being surrounded by rural landscape and so close to all of the beaches. It was also great to be able to walk down to the penguin parade and not have to use the car and hassle with parking etc.
Many thanks to Bernadette and Les for a great stay. I hope we can go back sometime again.

SWAN LAKE B & B
Swan Lake is in a quiet part of Phillip Island. The venue is a great design. You can hang in your room or come out and hang in the lounge area and take in the ocean views and birdlife. Bernadette is an awesome host who's personality imparts a great vibe to the stay. She is a wealth of knowledge on the local area and things to do. She also knows a great deal of history of the Island too. The venue is spotlessly clean. The bed comfy. The bathroom facilities were excellent.
Steven
Excellent guest house
We were warmly welcomed at this immaculately kept guest house set in lovely grounds with views across countryside to the sea. The room was a good size with wonderful views of the grounds and sea in the distance. Wallabies could be seen grazing at times. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very quiet and soundproof, we slept very well. Continental breakfast was included, cereals, ham,cheese, bread, toast, fruit, yoghurt, fruit juice, tea and coffee. Tea and coffee was available all day in the lounge.

Nice place - close to Pengiun Parade
Had a lovely night at the Swan Lake B&B. Got there late and Bernadette was very welcoming.
Just a couple of things, face washers would have been handy, the bathroom had a soapy residue on the floor (we could see someone's footprints in it) and the plug for the spa had a knob on it - well frankly it was in the most inappropriate place.

Very easy access to the Penguin Parade!!
Easy access to penguin parade - if you are going to eat, try to eat in advance in Cowes because by the time the parade is over everything will be closed in Cowes and the Swan Lake guest house doesn't do dinner. That said, the breakfast is a great continental breakfast with plenty to eat. The rooms have spas, the beds are comfortable, you can park more or less outside of your room and it's a lovely quiet sleep. Bernadette is more than willing to chat and make your stay comfortable. It's definitely worth a visit and for its location it's a great little guest house (the only one from what I understand) so close to the penguins. Would definitely happily recommend this b&b to tourists heading to Phillip Island!

Wonderful host, wonderful setting!
On a whim I decided to book a Saturday night in Phillip Island with my 8 year old son to spend some quality time together and explore the island. Swan Lake is one of the few places on the island with no minimum night stay requirements. Bernadette the lovely host was so helpful and accommodating. This place was just the ticket! Nothing was too much trouble (my son even got a welcome can of nice cold soft drink after our journey as a treat) and everything was explained thoroughly with care to discuss things my son would love to do (hello Grand Prix Go Karts and Chocolate factory!). Lovely, airy common area which would be fantastic in winter with cosy fire and big screen TV, or fabulous to sit outside on a hot night and look at the lovely view with a glass of something if you were travelling as a couple. We slept like babies in extremely comfortable beds with soft pillows (pet peeve: hotels with rock hard pillows!) My son loved a spa before bed and I loved the peace and quiet. It was the perfect weekend escape and we loved every minute together. Thanks Bernadette for your care and generosity. We will be back!

Perfect for us after seeing the penguin parade and returning to wood fire and immaculate rooms. Visited Nobbies the next morning after a lovely breakfast and good chat with the delightful Bernie.

Nice stay
This is a guesthouse so does not have some of the facilities of a hotel. There was no tea and coffee facilities in the room so we had to go outside and down to the breakfast room for a coffee. Also the walls are very thin, you can hear snoring from the next room and any noise travels. The room was warm and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Close to penguin parade...in a countryside setting. The town centre is ten minutes drive through the bush and countryside to get there.
Lots of great things to do and see nearby.
