78km from Footscray · 73 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Cowes, VIC
Looking for a relaxing island escape? At NRMA Phillip Island Beachfront Holiday Park, the charm of coastal villages meets the magic of little penguins waddling ashore at dusk. Located in Cowes on Phillip Island, this beachfront caravan park and camping spot is just a short drive from Melbourne – but feels a world away. Stay in a comfy cabin or set up on a spacious site just metres from the sand. Pets are welcome, and Cowes’ cafes, shops and restaurants are an easy stroll from your door (or tent). Wake to the sound of waves, unwind beneath the stars, and let island time take over. NRMA Phillip Island Beachfront Holiday Park is located in the town of Cowes on Phillip Island, two hours’ drive south of Melbourne. The park’s beachfront location on the bayside of Phillip Island provides uninterrupted access to sandy beaches and protected waters – but there’s waves to be had nearby for the surfers. The colorful cafes and shops of Cowes are within walking distance.

Ukiyo Nature Retreat

4. Ukiyo Nature Retreat

69km from Footscray · 1 site · Lodging · Fingal, VIC
Secluded, private, and surrounded by nature, our glamping tents for couples on the Mornington Peninsula are fully powered, cosy, and, most of all, private. Explore the Peninsula or simply take time out amongst the trees and open space. Ukiyo Nature Retreat is for over 18s only. Designed with couples in mind, Ukiyo offers tranquil surroundings immersed in nature, with majestic Moonah trees and plenty of space to escape from the stresses of life and reconnect. We have a maximum of four tents, each with its own private surroundings and hidden areas for couples to enjoy. Ukiyo is your private escape into nature. Located in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula, our retreat sits between the back beaches and the bay, near the famous Hawkes Farm and St Andrews Brewery (both approximately a 20-minute walk away), and a short drive to renowned walking trails like Bushrangers Bay. Local wineries are also close by, with the nearest just a 5-minute drive away. The world-famous Peninsula Hot Springs is also just a short drive from the retreat. We have one safari tent with a deck situated in a valley, surrounded by Moonahs, Coastal Banksias, and She-oaks, and a large Bell tent located slightly higher up, offering treetop views. Both tents feature a queen-size bed and are furnished with all the comforts you could need. Both options are fully powered. Designed with comfort in mind, you’ll find a cosy coonara and plenty of blankets in our common room at the back of the retreat, along with games, a fridge, and basic amenities. While there is no full cooking on-site, tea and coffee-making facilities and a small kitchen are available.
