"Stokes Bay, and thus the cabins, is isolated. Situated on the cliff face, looking north, one is surrounded by silence and peace, mixed with dozens of kangaroos and even some sheep. Nearby is the only restaurant, sadly open only till 5 pm; so bring your own food or consider a drive to Kingcote (sadly with roo-danger for the nightly return. We stayed three nights to have a holiday… make daytime excursions and enjoy evenings at the cabin. Highly recommended, but not if you expect action!"

"Great location and easy to get to everything that the island has to offer Would love to come back again "

"Amazing location with privacy, views and beach access. Comfortable accommodation, clean and basic. Appreciated the supply and top up of fire wood to help on a couple of chilly nights."

"Olivia was a lovely host who communicated well and very kindly even gave us an insightful and exciting farm tour. My son was able to pat working dogs and horses, feed chickens, collect eggs for his breakfast and see a horse and rider conducted cattle muster! In real life! The accomodation was very comfortable, and would suit any type of group, even large family groups! Fully private and self contained with all amenities, no ducted air or ceiling fans, but a log burning heater, complete with supply of logs and an outside fire pit. Main bedroom has a walk in robe and ensuite and house also has main bathroom with bath and shower and separate toilet. Decor And furnishings peaceful, tasteful and very comfortable Native animals around, and farm animals in sight over the fencing. Well situated in the middle of KI near small town of Parndana, which has a very good hotel/pub which does delicious and very reasonably priced meals. Parndana also has an interesting pioneer museum and a very eclectically chic new shop, opened by our host Olivia, coincidentally, which has a variety of beautiful KI produced and/or sourced items including antiques, homewares, skin care and clothing items. Unfortunately I missed the opening times, so I was disappointed, and had to make do with window shopping, but for future visits, I noted they are open Tues, Wed and Thursday 1100 - 3. Definitely worth a visit. The accommodation is also well placed to visit Flinders Chase National Park"

"We had the best time, so close to fishing and we caught heaps of marron and enjoyed our stay on the property. So many beautiful day trips out in glorious wildlife and countryside. The kitchen was all stocked and we could cater for all our guests for our party with the huge oven, glasses, coffee machine, cutlery and platters to boot. "

"We highly recommend it!"

"Wonderful location. Friendly, helpful staff who are happy to have a chat and share their knowledge of the area. Loved being able to wake up to the sounds of the birds and watch the kangaroos grazing only meters away while having a morning cuppa. Will definitely recommended this location to friends and family visiting the island. "

"The property was confusing to find at first. A sign at the entrance way would have been most helpful. The studio was very comfortable and peaceful. Love the remoteness and the beach area."

"We visited from the US as a family of 4 with 2 teenage daughters. We loved the remoteness of the property and seeing the kangaroo & echidna right out the window. If you’re a bird watcher, there is plenty to see! Accommodations were top notch. Excellent quality linens and really comfortable beds. We would stay again if visiting KI in the future. We brought all our groceries from Adelaide which worked out really well. Such a nice welcome tray of local from Yael, the host & we had to go buy 3 more packages of the local figs because they were so delicious! Really nice experience. "
