Remembering San Remo
The property was large, fully equipped and extremely comfortable. Central to shops, pubs & restaurants. Nigel the owner was gracious, friendly and really helpful. I had a delightful stay reminiscing with friends and was very sad to leave. But! I’ll definitely be back. Thank you Nigel xx

Lovely unit in a great location
We had a lovely stay, the main bedroom is very spacious and en-suite is modern and also extremely roomy. The bed was very comfortable. Everything you need in the kitchen and nice courtyard out the front. The unit is perfectly located close to the shops in San Remo and nicely situated to explore Phillip Island. The only inaccuracy in the advertising is that there are 2 bathrooms mentioned however as we were a couple that booked the second bathroom is locked. Would be good to mention this upfront. Thank you for a beautiful stay, our first stop will be back to Black Dolphin on our next trip to the area :)

Very roomy and comfortable with everything you need. Great spot for local amenities and very private. Only drawback is the road, which could be an issue at busy times.

Fantastic apartment
Stayed at The Black Dolphin Apartment for 4 nights while down for the Superbikes. The Apartment is fantastic, it has everything that anyone could need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. The furnishings, bedding, bathroom accessories & kitchen equipment is all of a very high standard. The location of The Apartment is very central but still maintains a quiet, personal space for the occupant. We would very much like to stay there on our next trip down to San Remo/Phillip Island. Thank you Nigel for such great accommodation.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. Fantastic position for visiting all that Philip Island has to offer and lovely, clean and tidy accommodation.

This was a great place to stay at it was close to the shops and great for a stroll along the beach, the eating out was delicious and it was just near the bridge across to Phillip Island we went to the Chocolate Factory and to see the Penguins it was a great stay all round I would stay there again without hesitation.
