THE PROPERTY
Still Windy is situated on a 100 Ha bush block with large stands of remnant vegetation including sugar gum woodlands and yacca grasslands. White Tree Creek meanders through the middle of the property and provides a delightful guide to follow for bush walks or secluded picnics.
Native wildlife abounds on the property and it is common to see kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, wedge-tailed eagles and goannas.
The more dedicated nature lover may also see stone curlews, pygmy possums, boobook owls and glossy-black cockatoos. In Spring time there are abundant wildflowers and native orchids throughout the valley.
There are at least two nesting Glossy-black cockatoos on the property and we have an ongoing re-vegetation program designed to provide shelter and forage trees for these critically endangered birds.

At nearby Snelling Beach you may see dolphins, sea eagles, hooded plovers and the occasional fur seal.

If you'd like to help us keep track of local rainfall you can read the rain gauge and enter it into the Visitor book.

DOG FRIENDLY CONDITIONS OF STAY
Dogs are very welcome at Still Windy, both outside and inside the house, and there are a few things for guests to note.
We charge an extra $25 per stay for guests bringing dogs.
The house and the property are not fenced in a way that will prevent dogs from running away or travelling onto other properties and our neighbours with chickens or livestock will not appreciate a visit from an unknown dog.
It is therefore the responsibility of the guest to ensure the safety and well being of their dog at all times and for the dog to always be under effective control.
Dogs must be left outside if guests leave the property without them and a shaded enclosure is provided which may be easily moved around to a suitable location.
Guests are welcome to walk their dogs anywhere within the property boundaries but need to be aware they may encounter snakes or large kangaroos. Kangaroo Island Council requires dogs to be on leads at all times when on the beach.
When inside the house dogs must remain at floor level at all times. Please bring dog bedding but note that bowls for food and water are supplied.
We appreciate your cooperation and welcome you and your best friend to Still Windy.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
The north coast is more sheltered than the south and provides ample opportunities for water-based activities like swimming, surfing, snorkelling, diving, beach-walking and fishing in the local marine parks. Still Windy is also the perfect base for exploring the iconic Flinders Chase National Park and the Seal Bay Conservation Park.

Total Heaven
We loved our three night stay. It was fabulous to have such a panoramic view over the hills to the sea. We could watch Eagles circling below us. Had a lovely time with a pair of Glossy Black Cockatoos that fed in the Sheoaks. Congratulations on your conservation work. We saw three Cockatoos flying at one stage. Loved the well appointed kitchen which was a real blessing as you have to prepare each meal because of distance. Thanks for the delicious bottle of sparkling red which we enjoyed on the decking while admiring the view. It was great to go to bed with no blinds drawn and wake at dawn. We loved the tranquility. A memorable experience. Tammar wallabies come in at night and it's lovely to see wildlife like echidna, kangaroos and even a very long Tiger Snake!

Relax in seclusion
Still Windy is amazing. Secluded, spacious and close to Snellings Beach (one of KI’s best beaches!). There is everything you need, even a coffee machine! Very relaxing.

Feeling at home at still windy
We felt really at home here at ‘still windy’. Even though it was a rainy day we enjoyed the views, the peace and the luxury. We saw kangaroos, sheep, different birds and an echidna in the garden and even koalas at Middle River.

Peaceful and relaxing getaway
We loved our time at Still Windy which had everything we needed for a truly relaxing holiday away from it all. As the property sits within 100 hectares of beautiful bush land, it was the perfect place to walk around and we enjoyed our evening walks spotting the abundant wildlife.
