Great host, great facilities, nice breakfast, beautiful location. Highly recommended.
An absolutely fantastic stay at Swan Lake. The hosts made us feel like family. Knowledgeable about the area and enjoyed having a few laughs. The room was exceptional, clean with the best view.
We will definitely be back AAA
Bernadette is a fabulous owner/host. This is the best place to stay onPhillip Island. The location, views and Bernadette’s local knowledge create an amazing experience. This place is very special.
Such a beautiful place. An impromptu getaway was simply perfect thanks to Bernadette and Swan Lake House staff. Beautiful view, service and facilities. Catered to my fussy diet even with less than 1hours notice of our booking. Thank you so much!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
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.
The host was warm, friendly and accommodating. Bernadette made the stay what is was.
Room and location were terrific and relaxing after a big Saturday night
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.
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.
This is a beautiful house with multiple rooms. Owner is lovely. Very friendly.
Penguins are a 1km walk, very close to nobbies lookout (water hole)
Red Rock beach (Free BBQs), Smith's beach, go karts at the GP track.
amaze'n'things, seal rock by boat the the jetty $85 cheaper for RACV member, pensioner discount and children.
Take a trip to the chocolate factory in the way to Cowes
Be sure to leave early as busy times roads are crazy.
Lovely host, spotlessly clean, beautiful breakfast, beautiful views. No kettle in the room was frustrating, no toilet roll holder odd but not a problem. Bernadette a delightful host.
