This place is all about the location, which really is spectacular. We loved the uninterrupted ocean views and private access to the beach which we were able to enjoy mostly to ourselves (occasionally saw the odd person from a neighbouring house). As another reviewer mentioned, you're paying for the location. The house itself is a bit tired and the photos do tend to show it's best side, and not the older bathroom and kitchen. We did have one issue with the power having gone out before we arrived due to a lightening strike. Obviously out of the owner's control, but still problematic when the water pump relies on electricity. We ended up having power back on that evening but no water. It was only in the morning that we worked out for ourselves the pump and water valves had all been turned off so we unnecessarily spent a night without water, including no flushing toilet. This put a damper on the start of our trip, although it was better once we had running water again.

The view & quietness

We stayed for 3 nights and had the whole property to ourselves. We did day trips out but were always keen to come back to enjoy the view and the peace! The house had everything you could ask for (except for ceiling fan or pedestal fans in the bedrooms) but overall we are looking forward to booking this place again for longer and maybe in the cooler months. Communication and directions were great and easy to follow.

Loved our stay

Had two main requirements, view and open fire. The view was fantastic, our own private beach although winter was amazing. The sunsets were spectacular. Combustion heater with plenty of fire wood was just what we asked for.

Private and stunning

This property is in a beautiful, peaceful location. We had this gorgeous beach to ourselves as even though two other houses (one still being built) are on the same private parcel of land, there was no one else staying at the time. The house is a little tired and not fancy, but it was clean and well equipped. The location is hard to beat and we were delighted to stay there. We even saw an echidna in the yard on our last night! We’d happily book again.

What a special place!

We loved our stay, great directions to the property, clear communication with our host, easy check-in and a fantastic place to stay. We marveled at the view, watched the many different animals and overall just relaxed. Sunsets on the deck were a favourite time. We left hoping to visit again soon.

Untouched beauty

The view from this property is simply stunning With its own private beach access and a umbrella set up ready for a blissful private visit, this property feels like home away from home. I tried to read a book in the afternoons but I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the beach view and the sun setting over the ocean. Once the sun went down we enjoyed the second lounge space facing the wood fire heater playing cards and just relaxing. We appreciated the owner contacting us on our night of arrival to ensure we didn’t get lost and checking in with us to ensure we had everything we needed. We loved our 5 night stay and enjoyed everything kangaroo island has to offer, including the friendly locals which made our stay a time we will cherish

Amazing location

If you’re looking for a room with a view… this is it. Magnificent. Walks along the beach all to yourself… heaven. Would appreciate some outdoor shade and comfy lounge to catch up on the long overdue reading. A little closer monitoring of the kitchen cupboard contents would be appreciated. But we enjoyed our stay immensely, revisiting places we’d seen before and finding many new places of beauty. KI is a gem.

Stunning views, peaceful and relaxing stay. We stayed at this wonderful property for our honeymoon and enjoyed the time to relax and unwind. It’s the perfect spot to disconnect and just breathe.

Pros and Cons

Pros: The location of this place is superb as long as you don’t mind being isolated. The beach it overlooks and the land it is set on is really beautiful. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. There is little phone reception and no TV reception which we really appreciated as it allowed us to truly cut off. The beds are comfy and warm with electric blankets. There was plenty of wood for the fireplace. The host is lovely and communication with him was good. Cons: to be completely honest, I thought the place was quite overpriced. For what we paid, I expected better. In general, the home looks tired and the wet areas particularly are in need of maintenance or updating. There was no tea, coffee or sugar in the kitchen which I would think is a basic inclusion. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but do believe you’re paying for the view.

The house is full of character and we felt right at home from the minute we stepped inside. The fire and the spectacular views were mesmerising. Highly recommend the house for its charm and Chris was a fabulous host providing detailed communication for our stay as well as a well stocked wood heap for the fire! Loved the welcome from the sheep too!
