French Island Eco Inn

Escape to a truly unique off-grid retreat at the French Island Eco Inn, where sweeping double water views, rich native wildlife and genuine hospitality, set the tone for an unforgettable stay.

Just a short ferry ride from Mornington Peninsula on the mainland or Cowes Phillip Island, the Eco Inn offers peaceful, ensuite accommodation sitting proudly between two pristine coastlines, with panoramic bay views from each cabin. Wake up to the sounds of nature, spot koalas in nearby gums and enjoy over 200 species of native birds right from your deck. Lovingly prepared dinners and a comprehensive guest bar also help make your stay as relaxing and stress-free as possible.

Operated by island residents Phil and Yuko, the Eco Inn is slowly being re-established after a devastating fire a few years ago — and guests say the welcoming spirit, natural beauty, and peaceful atmosphere are as strong as ever.

Whether you're seeking quiet restoration, creative inspiration, or a truly wild-hearted weekend away, the French Island Eco Inn is a place where nature leads and you follow at your own pace.
