D'Estrees Bay

D'Estrees Bay Kangaroo Island South Australia
Located on the southern side of Kangaroo Island. D'Estrees Bay is an unspoilt natural paradise. Natural bushland meets long stretches of beach with firm sand, ideal for a leisurely stroll. The beaches are perfect for swimming, diving and surfing.

D'Estrees Bay is renowned for a former whaling station, the elusive paper Nautilus shell, and ship wrecks (rumour has it that gold treasure is somewhere in the bay). Birdwatchers will not be disappointed as the Western Whipbird is a local and Murray's Lagoon is a nearby bird Mecca. The start of Cape Gantheaume coastal trek is at D'Estrees Bay leading into Cape Gantheaume Wilderness

The house was perfectly located, wonderfully clean and just amazing. The views were breathtaking and the fact that you can sit out of the wind at the back and still have views is very clever. The perfect holiday for our family to reconnect and recharge.

Amazing location, beautiful house with privacy

Lovely view and total relaxation!

Blueseas is a well equipped beach house in a remote area of KI - this is what we wanted! We used it as a base for travel each day to other areas of the island. The house itself was comfortable, yet we wouldn't call it luxurious. The verandahs, both front and back are great! Communication with Ben was easy and he answered any questions promptly. Although our six days were predominately windy we enjoyed watching the ever changing sea vista! All in all, a very pleasant stay at Blueseas!

Charming little ocean front shack with fantastic view

Blueseas is a really great place to stay for an ocean front get away. The host was very friendly and great to talk to. I had a very small ask of him while staying there and he helped me out instantly, can not praise Ben enough for that. The place was clean and tidy, clean quality furniture, big kitchen and a large viewing deck with 180 degree view of the ocean. That part was exceptional! Kangaroo Island in general is a charming place to visit - like a really large country town with friendly people. Lots of long open roads and the sights were great to see.My only criticisms were that the listing stated there was private beach that stretched on for miles,in front - when in fact there was no beach at all, it was just ocean right up to the rocks, even at low tide. The closest beach was just a monument to seaweed and quite small. The other issue was the roads, it took half an hour each time leaving the shack to just reach a bitumen road as the dirt roads which stretched on for dozens of kilometres were non-stop deep pot holes you cant avoid. I was glad I brough a rental car as I would have been upset if I had of subjected my own car to that kind of punishment. You NEED a 4 wheel drive to get around. Admittedly that is not the fault of the owners, but it is something that anyone staying there should be aware of. Overall, we had a great stay, it was a very nice shack which had amazing views, the owner was very nice, friendly and it was quiet and peaceful. Wonderful holiday :)

Beautiful views, stones throw from the beach, comfortable and spacious living area, lots of room to enjoy your own space. The road (track) in is pretty rough, but worth the drive. Ben was helpful and friendly and met us at the property on our arrival.

Serenity with Sea Views

Could hear a pin drop and this fabulous home away from home. Awesome waking up to sounds of beautiful birds, surrounded by nature. We had an awesome 6 night stay in this secluded property. The road in is a little bumpy but adds to the character of the experience. You need to stock up on everything as Kingscote is your closest place for cheaper groceries! We would have loved a larger TV for enjoying movies in the evening and a few more basic kitchen items would have helped with food storage. All in all we had a lovely relaxing time and highly recommend Ben and his lovely home, when you want to get away from EVERYTHING!

About the host

Hosted by Ben Byass

Host profile image
I came to this area on a surfing/ camping trip and fell in love with its unique and unspoilt character. I built my own house here, raised a family and worked as a design and technology teacher in the local secondary school. I have since designed and built BlueSeas to share our piece of paradise

Why they chose this property

Centrally located. It is a one minute walk to the beach. Absolute privacy. Peace , quiet. Floor to ceiling glass and large decks open the house to the totally unspoilt environment and huge ocean views. I designed and built BlueSeas to blend into the landscape, provide a strong connection to nature combined with comfort and style.
