Wonderful position to explore beautiful Kangaroo Island. Home contained everything we required for a family holiday and Bruce the kangaroo delighted the 7 year old beyond the gate each day. Thank you.
This property is quiet and comfortable, convenient to town and ferry with great ocean views, with dolphins swimming past morning and evening. You can’t ask for more.
The view from deck is utterly fantastic. Loved watching the ferrys arrive and depart, and seeing pods of dolphins swim by in the sea. And the birdlife in the garden amazing! Terrific wood heater inside for the evenings, with plentiful supply of wood. So cozy.Beds very comfortable.

The property itself needs attention to maintenance. Only screen doors were lockable. Not a secure premises. Cleaning of house was disgusting. Floors dirty(new Ugg boots had dark staining on souls after walking on inside floors). Bin in bathroom had a panty liner still in it. No top sheet for both beds. One of the beds had snot marks at the bottom....meaning sheet was not cleaned after previous person, was only reversed to hid marks. Cover of doona would not get washed after each person. House and cleaning poor. Location and view only good points. To be charged 240 for cleaning is very poor. Never been charged for cleaning before.

Thank you for your feedback. All items have been addressed with our cleaner, who confirms that all linen is washed between each guest stay. The house is secured by lockable security doors.
The outlook (from the deck and the living areas of the house) over the bay and the ocean is one of the best of any place we have ever stayed. The house was clean and has everything you need. Website info is accurate and check-in and contact with owner very smooth. Highly recommended.
My wife and I were going to take our Cavoodle but then realised we couldn't take her as the 'pet friendly' element meant that she couldn't be in the house but could stay outside. Nick was nice enough to say we could keep her in the laundry to sleep. We ended up leaving her at home and still had the best time! The place was so peaceful.
House good comfortable front gate needs repair very difficult to open / close
Shower handle falls off
Holes in screen wire had to put towels over holes to stop insects getting in
Nick and his amazing cleaner Dallys were so good and accommodating to us even tho we rocked up a day early cos of my mess up. The house was spotless and had everything you need including waking up on the last morning and looking out the window to dolphins playing in the ocean. Nothing bad at all to say about this place. Loved it. Will recommend to everybody. Thanks guys for being so awesome and having such a beautiful place for us to stay.

Great location, but wouldn't stay again.
On arrival, we were highly disappointed to see the lawns were extremely overgrown and the weeds were in abundance. The atmosphere outside was therefore ruined and we were unable to enjoy the backyard with our small children. We feel this was an unacceptable way to rent your home out to paying people. The house has many cobwebs all over and many arachnids reside at the home.
Overall, the rest of the house was okay, but could use some upgrades. For example the washing machine was so noisy, it was difficult to tolerate. The beds were really comfortable and the linen was also great so that was appreciated. The house was well equipped. Location and view was really good. Very close to the ferry.

Thanks for your feedback. The recent wet weather has been problematic for everyone with a garden. It's a shame you didn't let us know about the lawns as we could have arranged a gardener immediately.
Property was very clean and tidy
Great view from the deck
Great size yard for the dogs
Please keep it pet friendly with dogs allowed inside, maybe in the future the carpet can be replaced with vinyl flooring
Close to town so walked in each day with the dogs
