Comfort and Style in a 1920’s beautifully renovated bungalow rental home.
We enjoyed this extremely well appointed holiday rental, close to all that is on offer in the Port LIncoln district. Our host left no stone unturned in her quest to provide guests with all they could possibly need in facilities and comfort. Very clear instructions were provided on how to operate in such classy and convivial accomodation, and it was the thoughtful, little touches that made our 4 night stay so special. Highly recommended.

Wonderful house.
Joanna was prompt in responding to any queries we had. The house is just beautifully appointed with beautiful scents in the rooms, extremely generous pantry provisions and lots of dishes, pots and pans. The property has a beautiful garden with lots of herbs, citrus trees and rhubarb plants. someone is a gardener! The bed was extremely comfortable with a warm quilt for the winter months. The property is in a great location. There is absolutely nothing negative to say and wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying there.

Amazing home
When we arrived after a 7 hour drive, it was amazing to see the presentation and features of the house. Beautifully clean, aromatherapy smells in every room, comfy bed and so many creature comforts. The extra touches of milk and bread in the fridge, coffee pods, access to a pantry of staples and a welcome box of chocolates. The location was perfect-just at the beginning of port Lincoln , close but not too close. We had an amazing stay. Highly recommend to stay at this property. We’ll be back!

Fabulous house rental
It was exactly as described in the listing. Kitchen was extremely clean, better equipped than my home. The owner has provided everything we could possibly require. The bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept in. There was so much to do ,even when it rained , lots of games to play and the best of all was the piano . We sang great songs and put a big smile on all of us .The barbeque cooked many great meals of fresh tasty fish .There is an art to running a vacation rental business and the part of it is being 100% customer focused, was a welcoming experience for my whole family. We will return to Kernilla House Port Lincoln. Regards Alex and Terri A

Peaceful Port Lincoln stay @ Kernilla
Kernilla is a very cosy holiday house with lots of thoughtful extras (eg dressing gowns, wellness magazines and local wine/chocolate/breakfast supplies). The master bedroom's bed was very comfortable and the sun room bright and warm in winter with a day bed. The location is great, short car trip to town, ocean view and close to corner store for essentials. Would recommend and definitely would stay again. Joanna was very accommodating with the uncertainty of changing border rules between SA and VIC.
