Bimbadeen Phillip Island Farm Retreats

Perfectly adequate for my needs for one night. Host was super easy to deal with and very flexible. Linen on beds was spotless and towels good quality and snow white - - it's a personal 'thing' of mine. I can't get in a bed that looks a bit cruddy. A sensor light or small led porch light would have been super handy as I arrived in the dark and a hand rail on the steps up to the deck really would be helpful too.

We stayed 5 days at Bimbadeen. The accommodation is three portacabins situated in a farmers field in the center of Phillip island about 10 mins from Cowes. The keys were left in the door when we arrived so entry is easy. The place is clean and spacious and reasonably well furnished. The kitchen is small and basic but you can cook in it. Unless you stay in the second cabin there is no Wifi as it’s shared from that cabin and cannot reach the other two. Also the cellular service is spotty, great for a digital detox. Probably would have been better if Wifi was dropped from the amenities. Same with the BBQ which is a central one on the deck next to the permanent closed cafe. The BBQ was dirty rusty and didn’t work. On the 3rd day the kitchen bin became full. We messaged the manager via whatsapp about that situation they didn’t suggest anywhere we could take it. Only that they would come and collect it. Finally on our last day someone came to collect it. Communication with the manager isn’t great, slow to respond and not resolving issues in a timely manner. Not what you would expect from a 4 star accommodation. The sheep were great and friendly the llamas not so much. Overall this stay was overpriced and underwhelming. I would not recommend this accommodation.
