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!

Perfect Holiday House

The layout of the house was perfect for us, particularly the 2 living areas, 2 bathrooms and the extra toilet upstairs. We loved sitting out on the big deck each afternoon looking out over the water. It was the perfect location to base our Kangaroo Island experience.
