CandE on Samphire Spacious 4-bedroom home!
We stayed here for 2 nights. The house was very clean and had quality furniture and amenities in it. Location is not far from the town centre and a quiet location. We spotted a koala in the garden which was a bonus, also lots of wildlife around the house.

The Cottage
A lovely little place with everything we needed. There are great beaches nearby and the locals we met were very friendly.

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.

No 4 Giles
We loved staying at 4 Giles on KI. We stayed four nights and the house was just perfect. The space was great and has everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. It is 5 minutes walk to the shops, restaurants and other delights of Kingscote. A perfect base for exploring the wonderful Kangaroo Island. Christine was very responsive, providing excellent recommendations and check in was super easy.

Lovely 2 bedroom apartment with pool
The place was excellent, comfortable and relaxing. It’s home away from home. We will for sure come back again. Alison is a great host and spot on with her communication.

Rustic Cabin 2 - Cosy cabin with peaceful sea view
Absolutely loved our stay. Impeccably clean. Amazing location. Can’t wait to come back.

Bayview Villas
Very nice place to stay while visiting Kingscote, spacious, quiet and convenient. Enjoyed the balcony and the view. The kitchen and bathrooms were adequately equipped, but you need to bring your own tissues and paper towels. Great to have an ensuite as well as a full bathroom. Good parking.

The Boat House - Kangaroo Island
Great stay! Ticks all the boxes. Highly recommended.
Your guide to Vivonne Bay
All About Vivonne Bay
Located on the south side of Kangaroo Island, Vivonne Bay is home to one of Australia’s best beaches and most fertile wildlife habitats. Its namesake crescent beach is a vision of crystalline waters and white sand, a popular spot for swimming and sunbathing. With a jetty claiming the south end of the bay and sand dunes off to the north, Vivonne Bay is a postcard-perfect destination to snorkel the rock pools, reconnect with nature, or do some epic cray fishing.
The island is well-protected by wildlife conservancies, so you’re all but guaranteed to spot koalas, wallabies, and kangaroos, and more. The area is home to the Vivonne Bay Conservation Park and Seal Bay Conservation Park, home to Australia's third largest sea lion colony.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Vivonne Bay
Vivonne Bay never gets too hot or too cold, and keeps a pretty consistent temperature throughout the year. Summer is the perfect time to visit the beaches. Consider staying in your accommodation in Vivonne Bay in the spring so you can see the native flowers bloom, or winter, when the climate is mild and wet and the island is teeming with new life. Autumn is a good time for running buffs, when the local marathon zig-zags its way around Flinders Chase National Park. From June to September, mammals like to make a grand entrance, so you might see fur seal colonies and sea lions basking in the warm sun, babies peeking out from their mothers’ pouches, and get a glimpse of southern white whales emerging from the deep.
Top things to do in Vivonne Bay
Little Sahara Adventure Centre
Five minutes outside of town, this eco-park is made up of vast stretches of sand dunes that resemble a desert landscape. Walking over them is fun enough, but to really get the full effect, hire a toboggan or sandboard and slide or surf your way down the oversized sand dunes to your heart’s delight.
Flinders Chase National Park
Just a 30-minute drive from Vivonne Bay sits Flinders Chase National Park, home to two of the island’s best sites: the unusual rock formation, Admirals Arch, and the aptly-named Remarkable Rocks. The park is also teeming with wildlife, like koala bears and kangaroos, plus loads of native plants and attractions like the historic Cape du Couedic Lighthouse and the glorious Rocky River.
Seal Bay Conservation Park
Twenty minutes east of Vivonne Bay is Seal Bay, home to the third-largest colony of sea lions in Australia. Experienced guides can lead you on a tour, or you can do a self-guided tour along the wheelchair-accessible boardwalk lined with educational signs on sea lions behaviours and habits.
