Fantastic house and location
Really had it all and was perfect for our two families. Lovely sitting on the balcony and the layout inside was good. So quiet. The little things were good too like plastic containers for left overs and basic supplies to get you through until you made it to the shops. Also, supplying the towels and linen. No negatives.

All of the above ratings are not exaggerated. This property is so very comfortable and well established. The hosts were easily contactable and friendly. Location location location , perfect for a short stroll to the beach, close enough ( if you like a walk) to the town centre and located within easy driving distance to many attractions.

Great KI experience.
The property is spacious, we had 6 adults and a teenager with room for plenty more. Just a short walk to the beach, and not far from the town centre. Would definitely recommend for larger families or groups. We were there during a heatwave, but the house was cool (on both levels) and the bedroom ceiling fans well utilised. Enjoyed the stay very much.

The layout of the house was perfect for us, particularly the 2 living areas, 2 bathrooms and the extra toilet upstairs. We loved sitting out on the big deck each afternoon looking out over the water. It was the perfect location to base our Kangaroo Island experience.
