A Tranquil Oasis at Emu Bay Holiday Homes
I can confidently say that this was one of the most delightful accommodations I've experienced in my travels to 62 countries. From the moment I arrived, the owner's warm welcome set the tone for an exceptional stay. The personal touch of being shown to my small, impeccably clean apartment immediately made me feel at home. The attention to detail was evident throughout, with everything thoughtfully organized for the utmost comfort. What truly stood out were the considerate touches, such as the informative notes strategically placed around the apartment. One noteworthy suggestion was a creative way to conserve water by using buckets to collect cold water while waiting for it to heat up. The notes gently encouraged guests to water the plants outside with this collected water, reflecting a commitment to sustainability without imposing demands. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the breathtaking view, It's the kind of scenery that captivates your senses and beckons you to stay for days on end. While the price may be on the higher side, I found every penny well spent considering the exceptional quality of the stay.

Thank you for your lovely review of our Bayview Apartment at Emu Bay Holiday Homes. Appreciate the time you took to write us this review. A one night stay always works out a bit more expensive. We would highly recommend a 4 night stay to be able to experience all Kangaroo Island has to offer.

My Wife and I travel quite a lot. This place is special. The units are well equipped and spotlessly clean. The owner Rene was welcoming and informative of the local area.The local wildlfe including the Koalas and birds were fascinating to watch. I highly recommend staying here and hope I can visit again

Lovely peaceful location
Our cottage was small but extremely well-equipped. The host was very helpful with suggestions of places to visit and where to eat - including sending links to local places. Even letting us know where the closest koalas were (very close!) The location was lovely. Very peaceful, with distant views over the water. The closest town is 15 minutes drive, but it's easy to organise around that. I would stay here again.

Thank you Suresh. Yes, Kangaroo Island is certainly bigger than most people realise and a 4-7 night stay is recommended and 10 days if you want some time to just relax.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The rooms are big, well equipped, comfortable and in a great garden setting with amazing views. It is a great base to explore KI. As it's a big island with lots to see and do, no one location is perfect but Emu Bay is easy enough to get everywhere and the room is great to come back to at the end of the day. The koalas and birds on the property were a treat. Would have given a 5 rating if there was a laundry (which we understand was being installed)

Loved our stay
We had a great time at EBHH, property had quite an open area, easy to find, with an amazing EMU bay view. It was nice to see Kangaroos and Kuala near our cabin. Cabin was clean, enough space for two, with almost everything available just like home, there’s quite a thought put into making this place feels like home. Christine ensured that we have all the information required for our stay on the Island, always got a prompt response for any query. We will love to stay again.

The property had everything one need to have to have a amazing stay. ***** The view from our Bayview home was spectacular. I still can’t believe waking up every morning to see that amazing view. I want to rate the place 10/10 it was total bargain. One of the cheapest stays on the island, still can’t believe what we paid for what we got. The owner Rene was lovely too, she came over the day after we got there to ensure. We had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone without hesitation. I can’t wait to come back here on our next trip to KI.
