We had a lovely stay at Wallaby Retreat! The house was comfortable, clean and lovely to stay in. Well set up, it is perfect for relaxing, curling up on the couch with a book or cooking local produce. ...
It’s close enough to walk to dog friendly beaches, the pub or to just meander around the quiet streets. The back yard is well fenced, perfect for our border collie. Great hosts, would definatly recommend.

Surfing

With the tiny house not a far drive from the iconic surf destination Phillip Island, it's always a good idea to pack the surfboards for a fun session in the ocean.

Pyramid Rock Lookout

The sun had set as we arrived at Pyramid Rock lookout in hope of catching the Aurora lights, the clouds had other plans and rolled in covering the sky. The views were stunning, wallabies bounced around as the last light of the day disappeared.

Swimming And Surfing

Smiths Beach is normally the best surf spot for kids and beginners surfers on popular Phillip Island. This small beach has soft waves that are ideal for practising in the whitewater or catching green waves when the surf is small.

Surfing At Smiths Beach

Smiths Beach is a great little surf spot on Phillip Island. It's great for all levels of experience and has the calm you might be looking for compared to Woolamai
