Kangaroo Island Supashak - Modern take on iconic Australian Shack

Kangaroo Island Supashak - Modern take on iconic Australian Shack

10/10 Excellent
"The Supashak did not disappoint. As you drive up, you may be mistaken for its unassuming facade, however as soon as you enter you can tell it’s special. The best part are the little visitors you’ll meet each night from around 5/5.30pm. They’ll keep you entertained for hours from the dining window, so no need for the TV. The premises were beautiful and clean, and the coffee machine was a very welcome addition! The only issue were the mozzies, so come well equipped with mozzie repellent. Also, there isn’t a lot of food options near by so pack a good supply for meals. If you’re heading to Vivonne Bay, give this place a spot on your list!"

"Good location in the middle of the island. Nice house with lovely garden surroundings where native birds can be seen from the windows. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly which is helpful in a fairly isolated area. We had some cold items and early check in could be accommodated so we could use the fridge. The hosts cooked some pizza for us on Saturday night which was good as there are no local restaurants and driving at night is not recommended due to wildlife on the roads."
