Add in koala encounters, dramatic coastal views, and quiet island charm—and it’s the perfect day trip from Melbourne.

With MNMRidez’s private chauffeur packages , you travel in comfort and at your own pace—without depending on rigid tour schedules or shared buses.

  • Phillip Island Apartments — Two-bedroom deluxe stays starting around AUD 329/night.
