Dec 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Melissa W. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue G. Nov 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Sue G. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward B. Mar 26, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome! Location, location, location! Hard to describe just how stunning the position of this house is, overlooking perhaps the most beautiful beach on KI. safe swimming and snorkelling and rock walking. Fabulous views, peace and quiet and perfectly comfortable, although now some years old. Well equipped, comfortable beds, friendly owner. Some fire damage around, but miraculous escape for this property and the result of the fires by no means detract from the experience. ##### Edward B.

This fabulous home facing the most amazing beach and sea view as far as the eye can see, it is just breathtakingly beautiful. A Short walk down to the beach, Will have you feeling like you are on your very own island. It has a well equipped kitchen, great wood burning fire, sherian linen, lovely furnishings and magnificent view from every room!! I have really enjoyed my 6 night stay here and would love to return again. Chris is a wonderful host and his ‘little sisters’ are super sweet. Thank you Chris for your hospitality, and for sharing your paradise with me. Regards Katherine ##### KATHERINE M. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bernhard W. Oct 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### an extraordinary location We spent a full week on Kangaroo Island (1 location of in total 4 at which each we spent at least a full week) and made hikes car trips starting from there. Already the location above the beach, so solitary (what we love), solitary except for that the host, Chris, lives there part of the year and was there 5 of the 7 days we stayed there. Chris is extremely helpful and knowledgeable, we enjoyed chatting with him. He allowed us to use his internet connection (which was necessary for me due to actual business issues), he invited us one evening for a chat with wine plus some snacks. - He is an exceptionally good host! Thanks, Chris, for having built this gem on this extraordinaryly interesting island, where alone I have taken hundreds of bird and other nature photos! ##### Bernhard W.

May 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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 ##### Lisa C. Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lexi R. Aug 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Lexi R.

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. ##### JO P. Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David C.
