Thank you - we LOVED the Cowries - such a beautiful property as well as being spotlessly clean and so well provisioned- we will definitely book again. I can honestly say it’s the best property we have stayed at in our 6 visits to the island. Mason was outstanding too !

Hi girls Just wanted to let you know what a great holiday we had at The Cowries earlier this month. The house is very well set up for 3 families as we were. The owners had everything that we would need in the house for our enjoyment as well as the 2 X 4 person buggies. The decks were used for breakfast, lunch & dinner with the Weber working overtime while we relaxed and enjoyed the views and the pool below. We all enjoyed all that Hamilton Island has to offer from us ( the grandparents), to our 2 sons & their wives & our 5 grandchildren. Thanks to owners Bronwyn & Percy . Kind regards Malcolm & Helen Hill

Every member of our family truly enjoyed our stay on Hamilton Island and in particular the use of 'The Cowries' house. We shared many happy meals and stories on the wonderful veranda and inside at the formal table. The house was easy to live in and so well equipped. We look forward to recommending this location to friends and family.
