Fantastic location

This is a perfect getaway for a group of friends. We have two 80+year olds in our group. Bathroom access was easy. Beds were comfortable . Location is central to the islands sightseeing attractions. No easy wifi access meant we spent the evenings enjoying each others company.

Perfect beach house for our stay on the beautiful Kangaroo Island.

My family really enjoyed our time at Pelican Retreat. Great, central location on the island. House has lots of bedrooms and is well stocked with kitchen utensils etc. Stunning view including the sunset on the deck every night. We were lucky to have a koala family living in the trees across the road. The owners make it very clear to bring everything and you must including items like soap, clothes washing powder, salt, pepper, oil, tea, coffee etc. Shop up before you come over or plentiful supplies can be purchased in Penneshaw or Kingscote. The house and yard is secure and gated with plenty of room. Large outdoor clothes line. No cooling so on one very hot, windless day we found the night sleeping very warm but most evenings are cool and windy so opening up the plentiful windows cooled the house quickly. Our girls had a taste of sleeping with wet towels and they now won't take our air-conditioning for granted. A good lesson. Thanks for our stay. Would definitely stay again if we are ever lucky enough to visit Kangaroo Island again.

Blended Family Vacation

Property is older but clean, neat and tidy. Great view from the front deck and communication was seamless with Anele. We did have an issue using 2 heaters in the back rooms at the same time; but was fine when using one at a time. Good location which felt central on the island.
