About this property

Nature's Embrace | The Pelican Cabin

Discover your own slice of paradise at The Pelican Cabin, where a rustic yet thoughtfully designed cabin awaits, nestled within the enchanting wilderness of Kangaroo Island's Island Beach. Once part of the untouched landscape, The Pelican cabin now offers a charming retreat where you can immerse yourself in the natural beauty surrounding you.

The property consists of two thoughtfully positioned cabins that are separated enough to provide privacy despite a shared backyard. Your Secluded Sanctuary:

Open Plan Living: Featuring a reverse cycle air conditioner for comfort year-round and a slow combustion fire for those chilly nights, however, please note that firewood is not complimentary, and if you wish to use the fireplace, wood can be purchased from either the local IGA or Fuel and Hardware store in Penneshaw.
Well-Equipped Kitchen: To prepare your meals, with each cabin boasting an outdoor deck complete with a BBQ for memorable dining under the stars.
Nature's Guests: Delight in frequent visits from the local wildlife, truly embracing the untouched beauty of your surroundings.

The hosts communication was exemplary, and was happy to answer any queries. There were also handouts in the cabin making suggestions as to places to visit and eat. My husband has a bad back and the bed was amazing and made for very restful nights. The location was as advertised, quiet and with a sandy beach within walking distance. A most pleasant stay.
Inside the cabin, great wood heater, or split system.

We had a really nice stay at the cabin! Very clean, and it had all the extra bits and pieces you could need eg oil, paper towel, etc. The kitchen had all the utensils / crockery / cookware you could possibly want. It was really cosy with the fireplace! We had kangaroo visitors to the back door

Nature's Embrace - Pelican cabin was a perfect chocie for our family holiday. The house itself was clean and well provisioned with linen, towels, salt/pepper/oil and small appliances for convenience. Our stay was made very comfortable by the air conditioning and very comfortable beds. The extra convenience of having wifi, a smart tv, board games and even wireless charging stations made the stay extra pleasant. Location was perfect! Close to Penneshaw and fairly centrally locates in the middle of the island so Kingscote and Vivonne Bay were still fairly close. And loved sharing the space with some wild locals who enjoyed lounging outside our cabin and raiding the bins. Our host Liam was great with communication and made sure to check in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed to make our stay complete. Couldnt have wished for more.

Great place for a family of 6 to stay. We were met by a kangaroo upon our arrival at the outside terrace. Place was tidy and had everything we needed. Short drive away from the ferry. Easy to find and to park.
