Comfortable House overlooking water
Well equipped house with large open-plan living area which was very comfortable for a four-night stay. Would have liked a can-opener to be provided. Good quiet location but handy to town and easy to get out to sight-seeing places. However I question value for money for a couple.

Exploring KI
We spent a few days driving on KI exploring beaches, towns and the national park. Our Aussie friend was also checking out possible moorings for his boat in the future. We brought provisions and spent the evenings cooking, enjoying wine and watching movies on the large TV.

The house is located across the road from a beach. Beach ones for 5K there is also a path across the road which is part of the park run and is easy access to ocean pool. The main town is a 40 minute drive. But the local town is a 45 minute walk or three minute drive. The local town does not cater for shopping groceries or anything like that. We struggled to find even a restaurant that was opened but does have a delightful cafe but obviously only opened for lunch and breakfast so it’s advisable to purchase shopping at the IGA in the main town when you get off the ferry And complete all cooking in the house. House is perfectly set up for multiple people. One bedroom has queen bed another bedroom has a queen bed 3rd bedroom has two sets of bunks and a cot. There is also a rollaway bed included at the house. Multiple sets of cutlery and plates bowls etc. There were a few other things that were missing such as a CanOpener and soup ladle or something that could be used to scoop. The view from the front balcony is absolutely beautiful and is a lovely way to spend the morning having breakfast or the evening eating eating dinner. Their area is extremely quiet and very safe. The house hasn’t open plan design with lounge dining kitchen or facing the view. House also has a full laundry with washing machine dryer plus there is a clothesline out the back we enjoyed our stay here.

Gorgeous beach access
The beach is across the road and is beautiful. We went there every chance we had. The home has a well-equipped kitchen and a BBQ. The bedrooms are spacious, quiet and comfortable. The location is great for getting into the town centre and for exploring Kangaroo Island. We are planning to come again for a longer stay.
