The place was nice and the views spectacular, my son who loves animals was blown away by how close the farm animals and the kangaroos came to the house. The caretaker was excellent with helping with any issues/queries and the owner was responsive to queries. ##### Greg C. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michelle P. May 28, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### More like a 3.5 to 4 star. It was a nice stay, lovely views, and quiteness. Beautiful spot. But planned on cooking a roast in the fire over, but no pans that fitted, lacking utensils. Barbie was old and soiled, couches stained. Not unhappy but a little over priced and not 5 star, more like 3.5 to 4 star. ##### Michelle P. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy W. Jan 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short but not so sweet The property was amazing. The goats & llama make it a not so friendly 'pet friendly' stay. Due to life & death medical reasons - we had to leave a day early & didn't have time to tidy up as we were on a very tight timeline to make it back ti Adelaide. I expressed this to the owner and said we hadn't cleaned up and why but we were still charged the night we didn't stay AND a cleaning fee. ##### Amy W. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chris D. Mar 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### OK, but not great. Thanks for hosting us last weekend. The property was well-maintained and had all necessary facilities. Despite a heatwave, the air-conditioning kept us comfortable indoors. However, the description (‘the Coorong Island Retreat is a tranquil secluded treat’ and ‘Having the whole peninsular to yourself’) of tranquillity was misleading; other groups were nearby on the same peninsular in caravans, hindering our solitude. Also, a backyard security camera made us feel uneasy. While the property has positives, the negatives outweighed our desire to return. ##### Chris D.
