After some 18 years at the helm of Glen Isla, its time for Ian and Madeleine to pass on the baton to new owners... In that regard we want to send our heartfelt thanks to all our fabulous guests from the world over for your support over the years. We welcome Evie & Richard as the new owners from 29th October 2021. Ian & Maddie will be retiring to spend more time travelling this great country of ours, but staying on Phillip Island. Evie and Richard will be residing at Glen Isla, and will be continuing to offer B&B at Glen Isla in the six Classic Deluxe Rooms overlooking the extensive private gardens. They also expect to reopen the breakfast dining room in the near future as pandemic health restrictions continue to ease. This update provided by Ian & Madeleine 😀
