This room also has a cosy reading nook with a range of boardgames. Downstairs, the third bedroom with views through to the bay offers a double bed. All of the beds feature luxurious French linen.
The open plan living room with oversized couch and wood fireplace is the perfect spot to relax in front of the tv after a day of exploring the island.

The house is mere minutes from Bay of Shoals boat ramp, Bay of Shoals Winery, Kangaroo Island Brewery, Kangaroo Island Spirits, local honey supplier Island Beehive as well as stunning Emu Bay beach.

Thank you ever so much for the most perfect of stays - what a lovely house and the endless wildlife was immense. We could not recommend the Sea Loft enough.
An amazing spot amongst the bush, with a Seaview. Our overseas visitors were very impressed.Our Host was easy to communicate with by email. Promptly replying and giving us suggestions on the area. The photos definitely don’t do the house justice
Julia and Tim were great hosts, contact with them was very prompt and helpful. The property was beautiful, extremely clean and beautifully furnished. The location was great for a quick trip into Kingscote.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sealoft.Thank you Julia & Tim
The Sea Loft was the perfect place to stay on Kangaroo Island. It’s close enough to Kingscote but also far enough away to feel secluded. We were visited daily by the local wild life, including kangaroos, wallabies and even an echidna! The property had great facilities including a fully equipped kitchen and BBQ. Located centrally enough to everything on the island it provided a great base camp to see all KI has to offer.

We loved the sea view from the top deck. And the kangaroos around the property!
We had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous loft. Beautiful views and cosy vibe, we stayed warm inside whilst it poured outside, we had no qualms staying in when the place was this lovely! Hosts were very helpful and nice, will definitely be booking here on our next trip to KI!
A gorgeous property! We loved being nestled in the trees and watching the wildlife. A perfect launching pad for exploring the local area. Julia ensured an easy check-in and the house was beautifully appointed. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Amazing two night stay in this beautiful, clean property. Very cosy on a cold windy winters night in front of the fireplace. Great base to see the entire island over a few days.
Amazing stay in a beautiful house. Very well presented and equipped. Highlights were sitting on the deck with kangaroos and wallabies right in front of us. Beautiful sunsets and we loved the peace and quiet.
Beautiful property. Modern, well designed and homely. Beautiful location with a remote bush feeling but yet so close to Kingscote, Emu Bay and other attractions. We had 3 adults (separate beds) and 1 child. The downstairs pull out is probably only really suited to kids though.
Absolutely loved the loft and the wildlife that live on this property. We have been lucky to see so many groups of kangaroos either coming in close or jumping right passed. The bonus was seeing an echidna.
The Sealoft was very clean and welcoming and close to amenities and day trips of the island. Good cooking and washing facilities as is always good.
Lovely place to stay, really cosy with everything you need during cooler months. Love the kangaroos coming up to the house each morning, the cosy combustion heater and the quietness surroundings.
However not sure I’d stay during the warmer months due to no aircon and high ceilings.
We brought family from overseas to KI and stayed at Sea Loft. What a wonderful place to stay. It feels like you’re in the middle of the bush but it’s only a 5 min drive from the town centre. Some kangaroos visited us whilst eating breakfast on both mornings. Everyone enjoyed their visit. We will definitely be back
The house exceeded our expectations. It is beautiful, the view from the upstairs deck was terrific and the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom were all top notch. The highlight was dusk when kangaroos and Wallabies came by. One evening we counted over 40 wallabies commuting from the water and going inland. We loved Kangaroo Island, especially Flinders Chase National Park our hosts were attentive and responsive. Fantastic place.
Beautiful place ina secluded yet convenient location
Beautiful and spotlessly clean place near kingscote. It is conveniently located but also still secluded enough with a beautiful view to enjoy your remote holiday. We saw some roos on the property as well as a wallaby on the first day we arrived (although after the storm, they did not come back for the subsequent days). The host was quick to respond to all of my messages and provided excellent recommendations. They also have a well organized booklet for recommendations, house rules, emergency procedures etc. 100% enjoyed our stay.
