"We had a lovely time on Kangaroo Island and staying at Sunset Hideaway made it so relaxing. Plenty of space for our family of 5 and everything we needed was there as promised. A great location in Kingscote also made for easy day trips in all directions around KI. A short easy drive to the supermarket that was fully stocked with everything you would need for a BBQ or a platter with a sip of local wine. The kids said the beds were so soft and comfortable."
