Meet your hosts – Simonne and Marcus Liberman

A warm welcome from Simonne and Marcus

After living in Melbourne and Sale in East Gippsland, Simonne and Marcus made a ‘sea change’ to Phillip Island nineteen years ago, following Marcus’ career as a Professional Golfer. After long careers in demanding management roles, Simonne and Marcus made the transition to a more relaxed lifestyle, ensuring more time with their teenage daughter Stephanie. 

Having travelled extensively overseas and in Australia, we know the importance of good quality accommodation with great service. We also know what it’s like to be stressed out by our jobs and how important it is to take time out from the daily grind, to find a place where you can wind down, recharge and return home revitalized. At Genesta House we offer you peace, tranquility, proximity and relaxation.

When you stay with us you will be well looked after by experienced hosts. With years of experience in the tourism industry, our long-standing reputation for quality and service and our integral understanding of our guests’ needs, your Phillip Island stay will be one to remember.
We are part of the Phillip Island community. We live, work and play here, and we love to share our insider knowledge. There’s always something interesting happening, no matter what time of the year you choose to visit. Check out www.visitphillipisland.com.au for the whole story, or ask us for our personal favourites.

We invite you to join us here and make Genesta House your place on Phillip Island.
