Everything you want for a beach holiday

Loved it. Perched above the fine white sands and that limpid blue water of Island Beach. Comfortable accommodation for our two families; kitchen well kitted out for holiday cooking, generous with the basics left in pantry for guest use. Great central living area, the dining table large enough for jigsaws at one end, dining at the other. Easy access to Penneshaw & ferry,

Amazing Holiday Home on a stunning beach with excellent features and facilities!

Beautiful home situated on the most child friendly beach we have ever encountered. The home itself was brilliantly presented, clean with great facilities. The layout is great for accomodating 2 families and the kitchen living and dining area is spacious. The deck is great, and as the property is north facing it is well sheltered from the wind. Great Weber bbq and Nespresso machine. Island Beach is stunning with no waves and a haven for fishing in the torquise waters just past the buoy line. Absolutely no regrets. Will return every year!

Incredible Island Beach stay

The house was immaculate, so clean and tidy. Incredible views of island beach white sand and crystal clear blue water. Fantastic deck that was safe for our 2 year old to play on. Perfect location not far from Penneshaw. Felt as though we had a private beach to ourselves. We will be back and will highly recommend staying here to friends and family.

My husband and I, with our two children lived and farmed at the Western end of Kangaroo Island for 20 fabulous years. During this time we built our holiday escape at Island Beach where we had many fun times with family and friends.
We have since retired to Adelaide but escape back to idyllic KI when ever we can.
