Exceptional value. Loved our stay at The Dunes Kangaroo Island. The house feels newly built—airy, generous spaces, high ceilings, and big windows that bring in soft coastal light. Beds are superb, showers have great pressure, and the kitchen has everything. Outdoor deck + lounge were our favourite spots for sunrise and evenings, and we saw kangaroos in the early morning (around 7.30 am). Everything is spotless and clearly well cared for—truly worth more than its price. A small request for future guests: please treat the house with the same care—tidiness as you go, so everyone can enjoy it at its best.
