Kangaroo Island cottage, walk to the beach
A lovely rustic place close to everything you would need to enjoy Kangaroo Island. We loved the beach front and the character of the cottage. The best part was the enclosed courtyard, which was the selling point upon booking and didn’t disappoint. We brought 3 small dogs with us and left them in the courtyard whilst exploring the island for a whole day and it was the best set up for us!. Although the cottage was very no frills, it still felt very comfortable and relaxing.

Authenticity Beach House Island Beach KI
We had a great time - we are a family of 4 with two daughters (6 and 3 yo). Location and views are awesome. Super easy to get to shops back in Penneshaw and a short drive to some great wineries and restaurants suitable for families. The house had everything you could need and was very comfortable. We would highly recommend to others

This place was even better than the photos, super clean, stylish, and in a perfect location. Loved the little touches like fresh coffee and local recommendations, it really made the stay special.

The ‘Cape House’ Spectacular Ocean Views to KI.
Lots of the previous reviews speak about the very pleasant accomodation and the outstanding cliff-top views - which we fully endorse too. It's just great! What we'd like to add (it was important for us) is the tranquility of the place, with nothing to disturb the absolute sense of peace, quiet and privacy - other than the local birdlife! Highly special. Thanks Nicole!

4 Bedroom 2 bath Ducted Aircon Pets ok Kingscote
What a gem! This cute Victorian cottage is modern and comfortable inside. We loved the location as Brownlow is close to the Kingscote shops and restaurants yet on a quiet typical inner beach; weedy but great for dog walking. Lovely hosts, Sabine and Kevin. Thanks.

Emu Bay Bliss: Ocean-view 5 bedroom holiday home
Fantastic views and lots of space to spend out with multi generational family. Accessible beach and pier for fishing - we caught our dinner one night. Fun to watch the 3 resident Koalas in trees across the street and local kangaroos in surrounding yards.

Marion Bay Seaside Apartments - Oceanview no.1
Great spot in great location. Unfortunately there were some civil works being undertaken in the boat ramp car park during our stay which meant it was quite noisey with trucks and diggers from early morning. In saying that would definitely stay again once works are complete!

Snelling Beach Studio
My husand and i stayed here for 6 days and ended up eloping at the accommodation site! It is truly beautiful and there are plently of fish to catch at the beach. Our location host tony was truly amazing and went above and beyond to make the trip unforgettable! We plan to make this our anniverasy spot! 10/10 the place is perfect for two looking to imerse themseves in the island with almost panoramic views from the bed and an almost private beach, this is your spot!

CandE on Wheelton
Eva's place was nice and modern. The selection of amenities was nice and the location is very convenient to walk around the town of Kingscote.

Baudin House: Beachfront Holiday Accommodation
excellent stay ideally location for the ferry and nearby restaurant and shop. the host quick to respond to messages and clarified detail as I'm disabled and it was important to understand what the access to the property would be like. thanks for a great stay stay we would definitely stay again p

Marine Cottage Stunning sea views
Marine Cottage was perfect. The view was spectacular with the beach directly in front. The house had everything we needed, was extremely clean and had personal touches like fresh eggs and water. The location is excellent for exploring the island. We walked and swam at the beach everyday. We will be back next year. Thanks Peter and Jo.

Magnolia - NEW Hampton style holiday home
Great location overlooking the ocean. Home is well designed with windows taking advantage of light and views. Kitchen well stocked with everything one could need. Two bathrooms and two lounge areas made it a very enjoyable stay. Would love to stay again sometime. Thank you Christine.

Beachfront 4 bedroom 4 bathroom Nepean Bay WiFi
Kevin's house was the perfect base for our Kangaroo Island Adventures. We had 9 adults and we all had plenty of space. 2 seperate living rooms were fantastic for watching different shows at night. Located 15-18 mins from Kingscote meant we could easily drop in for a bite to eat. Kangaroo Island was superb with lots of outdoor adventures. The sea lion guided experience at Seal Bay was a highlight. Flinders Chase National Park was well worth a 2 day visit. Coming back to Kevin's after our big days out was a god send.

Sandy Feet Retreat
Great house for our group of 12, lots of room downstairs and up, nice views, right on the beach and walking distance to the jetty and pub (400m) we'll be back.

Shylie's Retreat
Our experience at Shylies was outstanding, and we are already looking forward to our next visit, which is a reflection of the high quality of the accommodation. Located in close proximity to the ferry port, the property is easily accessible, and upon arrival, we were impressed by the peaceful and secluded surroundings. The accommodation exceeded our expectations in every way, and we particularly enjoyed relaxing on the deck with a bottle of wine, observing the local wildlife, and even spotting a few kangaroos. The property is exceptionally well-appointed and maintained, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the bed linen was of exceptional quality. A highlight of our stay was the stunning private beach, accessible via a short walk from the property, which we enjoyed visiting every evening. We would like to thank Kate and Andy for accommodating us at short notice, and we look forward to returning soon.

Stones Throw - Brand New Beach House
Wow! This is the most accurate way to describe the experience we had at Stones Throw. We (3 generations of 1 family) loved the house. It’s the beach house you wish you had, with a great layout and an amazing fit out and Emily has thought of everything - she even arranged an Easter egg hunt for our 2 kids because it was the week before Easter! We will definitely be returning if we make it back to KI.

Wild Retreat - Luxury Home with Magnificent Views
Magical end of the earth location. Brand new home, very well stocked and well set up for cooking and bar-b-que. Loved seeing the wallabies at the food bowl at sunset. Had the special treat of a koala stopping by! Stunning sunrises. Warren is excellent communicator with great recommendations. Looking forward to returning some day!

Saltbush Farm Luxury house with Ocean views
What an incredible getaway at Gabi and Jim’s accommodation! This place was worth every single penny and my group had the most wonderful stay. It felt luxurious from the first moment we pulled up to the property. The photos do not do this location justice. The house was spacious, it had every single possible amenity we could need, the kitchen was big, the bedrooms were comfortable, the outdoor space was fabulous to relax in. The pool was a winner though, heated, an incredible view at sunset, watching kangaroos hop by. We really couldn’t have stayed at a better place, it was such a lovely treat. Thank you for such a relaxing weekend, it won’t be forgotten and I would absolutely stay again.

Copperstone KI (Beach House)
Was an excellent family holiday in an excellent location no complaints at all

Kingscote Terraces 3: Ocean Views-2 King Beds-Wifi
Beautifully appointed townhouse overlooking the sea. Very well equipped and felt like a real home from home. Everything you need to either dine out or dine in. Excellent location for access to shops and restaurants 2 minute walk away. Drakes supermarket is great, we found everything we needed. Rachel is a superb host, she made it all very smooth and easy for us, and provided lots of excellent recommendations for activities, restaurants etc. We were indeed sorry to leave! Thank you Rachel!

Stunning Sheoaks Villa with Ocean Views
Was a BEAUTIFUL Airbnb, my parents were visiting from London and were blown away by the kangaroos every morning, the empty beach felt like we had our own private access and it’s at a good location, making the commute all around the island approximately 1 hour in any direction.

Doyles on the Bay
Our third stay at Doyle's, and each time it feels like a home away from home. Beautiful surroundings, peaceful bush noises, modern amenities - this place has it all! So much space and plenty for everyone to do! The Starlink internet is SUPERFAST!! Thanks for that upgrade lol Special mention to Craig and Rachael, the wonderful custodians. They always go above and beyond to make sure we have everything we need. This time they wrote a beautiful card for us that really touched our hearts! ❤️❤️❤️

“The Pier House” Seaside, oceanfront at your door
Fantastic home away from home in a stunning location. Very peaceful, private, comfy and relaxing. The house had everything we needed and more, than you would expect. Super comfortable beds, we all slept very well. Michelle was great to deal with, every step of the process was a breeze. The drive on beach at Emu Bay is one of the best we have visited, and not too busy despite the hot weather and long weekend there were no crowds and it’s great to set up for the day at the beach a stones throw from the house. Lots of fish were caught by the kids off the jetty while we watched from the house deck directly across the road, we saw penguins, pelicans and wildlife galore, this truly is a remarkable house and location. Highly recommend, we enjoyed our stay so much we’re already planning another. Thanks Michelle for your hospitality it was one of the best holidays we’ve had.
