We could not have asked for a better venue for our holiday. The house was spotless and amenities faultless. The view from the balcony and living area was relaxing. The owners communicated effectively to make our stay seamless.

Everything you need and more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at SeaKing Escape. Everything was very clean and in excellent working order and there was plenty of space for a family of 5 and 2 grandparents. We loved the location- only a very short drive from the tidal pool and a short walk to a lovely beach to walk along. Such a lovely house to stay in and perfect for our week in KI!

All of the above ratings are not exaggerated. This property is so very comfortable and well established. The hosts were easily contactable and friendly. Location location location , perfect for a short stroll to the beach, close enough ( if you like a walk) to the town centre and located within easy driving distance to many attractions.

Fantastic house and location

Really had it all and was perfect for our two families. Lovely sitting on the balcony and the layout inside was good. So quiet. The little things were good too like plastic containers for left overs and basic supplies to get you through until you made it to the shops. Also, supplying the towels and linen. No negatives.

Excellent, clean accommodations near to the conveniences of town but just enough outside it to feel a little quieter. There were lots of clear instructions all around the house, and the couple of times I still had a question, the host was very responsive. It seemed unusua to us to need to bring our own soap, shampoo and coffee but the instructions told us that ahead of time so it was no problem and maybe that is typical in Australia to not provide it. Great place and we enjoyed the deck view of the water.
