Hotels in Cape Woolamai

Cape Woolamai sits on Phillip Island's southeastern tip, known mainly for its surf beach, granite headland walking track, and one of the largest short-tailed shearwater colonies in Victoria, with nesting burrows visible along the clifftop paths from around September to April. It's a small, quiet settlement rather than a resort town, built around holiday houses and caravan parks more than hotels, so options here are limited and skew towards motel-style or self-contained stays rather than anything upscale.

There's little in the way of restaurants or nightlife in Cape Woolamai itself, and most visitors come for the surf, the walk, or the penguins and shearwaters rather than the town. It's also a fair drive from Phillip Island's other main draws like the Nobbies and Cowes' shopping strip. Stay here if you want direct access to the surf beach and headland walk without the crowds of Cowes, but base yourself in Cowes instead if you want dining options and easier access to the island's other attractions.
