Wyndham Philip Island is a Bird Paradise

Yes, Wyndham Philip Island is Bird Paradise.

Ramada Hotel chain has established a massive Resort  with 210 villas numbered from 101 to 311.

Villas are spacious and have two or three rooms.

One has to book in advance to enjoy the quiet luxury.

Our stay was very short on our way to see the Penguin Parade.

I am a Linux guy and our Logo is Penguin!

The birds who are numerous to name and I picked up only three names.

No sparrows but a birds the size of a sparrow are plenty.

Purple hen
Spur winged Plover
Cape Barren Goose

The magpie of course, I did not like.

They come in to steal the food left out on the table.

Resort facilities include;
Gymnasium
Indoor pool
Indoor spa
Outdoor pools
Outdoor spar 
Games room for children including a pool table
Tennis Court
Karts
Walking tracks
Barbecues
A guest laundry

We were busy could not play a snooker game or go Karting.


Wifi is available and TV needs to be connected through one's cellphone.

One need not cook and food is available at Flametrees Restaurant.


We had one meal at Flametrees but rest cooked.

We took enough fish to cook and I remained a vegetarian with lot of fruits as the compliment.

House Keeping

Housekeeping is not available but (2 and 3 bedroom) villas are equipped with washers and dryers.

One is encouraged to reuse towel when possible.

The weather, even in summer is cold with Northerlies and Westerlies determined the wind directions and the temperature.

Whether is very pleasant in summer time.

The generally nocturnal Brushtail possums   can be spotted around the villas looking for food.

One has to keep doors and windows closed to avoid unauthorized entry of the wild beasts.

Roads are littered with birds' droppings and your car needs a general clean up after a visit.

We were lucky the overnight rain cleaned the roods and the car top.

We did not have to wash the car.

Do not park under trees and garages are missing by default but there is ample space in front to park for two cars.

We had two cars one rented.

Back of the villa is open to the wild and one cannot take the car to the backyard.

One should not throw food to the birds and possums.

That is the cardinal rule to protect wild life.
