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.

Thanks Paul and Jen

Great property, very comfortable and so well laid out with everything you could need. It was a great venue to relax, watch the water and tides and the clouds or veg in front of the tele, cook a barbecue dinner or walk to the cafe for brekkie or the pub for lunch. We did all sorts of relaxing. We loved it and were sad to leave.

Handy location-short drive in to Kingscote. Nice clean and comfortable property, very well equipped. Two couples for our stay but house would be terrific for larger family group. Lovely view and great deck to sit out on and enjoy it. We did have difficulty with the key box-salt air affected.
