About this property

Lagoon House with breathtaking views and only minutes to the beach

Nestle in luxury amid treetops with breathtaking panoramic views of Eastern Cove encompassing American River, Ballast Head & Kangaroo Head. Lagoon House is a beautifully appointed contemporary beach house with stunning indoor & outdoor entertaining areas. Enjoy spectacular ocean & bushland views from the kitchen/dining/lounge. The house sleeps 8 in 4 generous bedrooms (2 Queen & 4 Singles) with 2 bathrooms. Both queen bedrooms have private decks with an ensuite bathroom in the master bedroom. Modern chef's kitchen features 4m stainless steel island bench, dishwasher & microwave. Covered outdoor deck with large roasting BBQ facility for informal meals. Outdoor shower & lots of room for boat parking.

Lagoon House KI

Once you arrive on Kangaroo Island you are only a short drive to Lagoon House. Situated 18km from the Penneshaw Ferry Terminal or 35km from the Kingscote Airport. The house is set on the edge of an ever changing tidal lagoon. Wallabies & the Heath Goannas make their homes in the bushland surrounding Lagoon House. You can watch them from the deck as they go on their daily walks. Possums & echidnas also live close by. The safety of the lagoon makes an excellent breeding ground for many of the Island's unique bird life. Blue Wrens flit amongst the trees just outside the deck. Fish for King George Whiting off the beach or maybe feed the pelicans at sunset at Strawbridge Point. Swim in the pristine waters of Island Beach or just enjoy the silence of the beautiful bushland.

Island Attractions

There are so many wonderful experiences to enjoy on Kangaroo Island. Join the penguins at Penneshaw on their nightly parade from the sea to their cozy burrows. Climb Prospect Hill & view both sides of Kangaroo Island. Enjoy the fantastic fresh produce & seafood. Book a fishing charter to catch fresh fish. Taste the unique Ligurian Bee honey at Cliffords Honey Farm or The Island Beehive. Try some wine tasting at various cellar doors around the Island such as The Islander Estate, Dudley Wines & Bay of Shoals Winery. Sample the world acclaimed gin at Kangaroo Island Spirits - KIS! Discover the amazing art of the Island. Explore the rugged coastline. Book an 4WD Adventure Tour. Visit the natural wonders of Admirals Arch, Remarkable Rocks & the Kelly Hill Caves. Take a guided tour of Seal Bay Conservation Park or a marine tour to swim with the local dolphins. There is so much to do & see on KI!

Amazing views and the wallabies visited each night. A wee bit hot while we were there; airconditioning would have made it perfect.

Hi Rebecca and thank you for your kind review. . During the rare hot spells we have found by opening up the windows down on the bottom deck. And opening the doors in the top deck. We get flow through ventilation from the afternoon. Seabreeze , unfortunately you got a particularly unusual hot spell . Glad you had a great time anyway? Kind regards, Steve and Joan.
