Family Holiday in Kangaroo Island
Arrived at WOW, already with instructions on how to enter. All went smoothly. House was absolutely beautiful and the view spectacular. There was an area with games and books, and toys for kids. It looks to me that the house caters from babies through to aged. It really is a beautiful house with the best view.

Great location, great house, but
The house is lovely, well set out, nicely furnished, big picture windows, spacious and with 3 bathrooms, which is what we needed. Good location, near Kingscote, and right on the beach. Information for the house was hidden in the pantry, hand written instructions taped to the wall. A compendium on the kitchen bench would have been more professional and easier to find. I was disappointed to find that I could not use the spa, as it had a note on it saying that it leaks. The bbq area is on the side of the house, which feels quite disjointed, I guess for shelter, with adequate outdoor furniture. More outdoor chairs were stored in the garage. Unfortunately the outdoor furniture setting in the main kitchen/dining/living area was appalling. The table was worn and rusted, the chairs worn, ripped, dirty, encrusted with bird droppings. Totally unusable. The lawn was not cut, and our uncut grass was a stark contrast to the neatly cut grass of the neighbours. There was a considerable amount of weeds around the house both back and front in the pavers. Directions and signage could be improved as we had difficulty finding a lot number instead of a house number.

Perfect property for our stay. Our two families enjoyed the great views and spacious house. It is a short drive to town and has great access to all tourist sites around the island. Communication was excellent. We would highly recommend Wahroonga on the Water.

Family visit to KI
This property was an excellent choice for our 3-generation family group of 7 adults plus 2 children. Everything we needed was there. The website could use a little updating, particularly in relation to getting there - the property signage is only visible if coming from Brownlow direction rather than from Kingscote. Communication was good, augmented by many hand-written notes inside. we all enjoyed our stay

Huge house and really well set up in a great location
Location is great, house is huge with separate lounge areas and loads of bedrooms. Great view and super quiet location. Outside area could be tidied up for more practical use on the beach side but overall it is a well appointed house for use all year round and right on the coast of Kingscote! Would definitely go back. Thank you.

Nat's 70th celebrated with friends
So, the house was amazing - very spacious, great location. We (4 old friends - of 45 yrs +) were there to celebrate my 70th birthday! The disappointing bit was the very strong smell of septic on arrival, and, subsequently the toilets filling up and not flushing properly, and, the septic itself overflowing. We were only 4... The house has the potential of 12!! We contacted the host who said he would send the cleaner to check. I have no reason to think this happened. Also, the grass out the front should have been mowed.
