About this property

Aalen Beach House | Kangaroo Island - Direct beach access in a central location

Aalen Beach House is located on the seafront at Kingscote, the heart of Kangaroo Island
Situated 1.6 km from the town centre and directly on the foreshore of Nepean Bay. The house is modern and has large living areas , with the front deck stretching the width of the house overlooking the sea . The beach is just a few steps away. The house has 3 queen bedrooms to accomodate up to 6 adults and a bunk room for 4 kids. There are 2 separate lounge areas, both with flat screen TVs, to ensure there is ample space for everyone to relax in. The kitchen is fitted out with modern appliances and faces the open plan dining and living area leading out to the front deck.
There are two bathrooms with walk in showers, plus a separate bath in the main bathroom and a fully equipped laundry in the second. There are 2 separate toilets.

A large spacious family friendly house where you can enjoy magnificent views over water sunrises, relaxing strolls on the long beach, swim in the safe waters of Nepean Bay and soak up the natural fauna and flora .
Aalen Beach House is a perfect central location to visit any area of the island. Kingscote, the main commercial centre of Kangaroo Island, is in easy walking distance via the paved walkway passing the front, and the Airport is only 10 minutes away.

Aalen is a German term for basking, we trust you will enjoy basking in the peacefulness and beauty of the setting that inspired the name.

Stayed there with my family and each one of us absolutely loved the place… especially my 3 year old daughter… Sunrise and sunsets were a beautiful view and we saw full rainbows all 3 days we stayed there…loved the part that the beach was just 10 steps away… so calm and quiet and exactly what we were looking for.. house was well equipped with everything we needed and variety of board games was cool.. Would most certainly stay at this place again whenever I visit Thanks Jen and Paul

Perfect Beachfront Holiday

Absolutely beautiful property looking straight over the ocean. Spotlessly clean, spacious and very peaceful, yet still within a few minutes drive to town. Even had the odd dolphin swim past. Would highly recommend this property to all.

Aalen Beach House, Kingscote

Property very easy to find. Great location along the beach and near Kingscote. Beautiful views of the ocean from front deck of the property. The house was spacious and very modern. Very beautifully beach themed and very clean. We would stay there again when we re visit Kangaroo island.

KI beauty!

Spent 6 nights at Aalen Beach House, what a wonderful, spacious, well equipped and comfortable rental. Great location only a kilometre or so from eateries etc in Kingscote and has all mod cons if you wish to self cater. The Drakes store in town has all the groceries you could require.We visited in winter so it was pretty cold, but there was only a small aircon in the living area for heating. There is a tile fire but wood is not provided - it is fan forced and does work a treat.In summer the numerous doors would provide cooling breezes right thru the house.Loved our stay - quite expensive but the comfort and quietness made it a winner!

A wonderful place for a fabulous holiday!

We stayed at Aalen Beach House for 8 nights and cannot recommend it highly enough. The ocean views from the deck, the bird life, the beach at our doorstep and the comfortable facilities of the house made for the perfect holiday. The beds were SO comfortable and neither of us has slept so well in a long time. The kitchen is fully equipped and the living area is a wonderful spot to curl up and read or to watch a movie on the surround sound system. The house was kept beautifully and was a pleasure to stay in. Jen and Paul were wonderful hosts and responded to all queries promptly and with good humour and courtesy. We cannot recommend this property enough and Kangaroo Island has become our “go to” holiday spot now. In fact, we’re planning on another visit later this year and will be sure to stay at Aalen Beach House again. Thanks for everything Jen and Paul!
