This was a very comfortable home for us and our dog. The decks front and back are great, unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to utilise them.Good base to explore the island being quite central to attractions.

Great location for a Kangaroo Island getaway. Very reasonably priced and communication from host was excellent. Clean, tidy and comfortable for our group. Kitchen was well appointed for home cooking. Location was great for walking to the coffee van and the pier to see the seals. We even spotted dolphins in the bay during our stay. A beautiful part of the world.

We had a lovely 3 nights. Loved the fire place with ample supply of wood and Monopoly. Great location, lovely little walking trail to the oyster factory and close to The Shed for a good dinner. Carol was very helpful and the house was great value for money. We had our own coffee beans, body gel, shampoo etc... recommend to other travellers to bring those little necessities in advance too as shops arent super close. Will recommend to others for sure
