Great location, close to the river and beach. We managed to fit Seal Bay, Kelly Hill Caves, and Flinders Chase into one day. Plenty of wildlife around the Vivonne Bay, including wallabies and koalas.
We loved our time at Kangastay. The location was great for our day trips and the house had everything we needed and a well stocked pantry of basics. Vivonne bay was beautiful and having the general store at the end of the road was great. We didn't get to see the possum but it was so nice to have food there to put out for him. Thanks so much for having us.
Had a great time at Kanga stay, place was as described, had plenty of toys and games for the kids. Vivonne Bay is a great base for exploring the west and south of KI.
Nice location. Next to a quiet beach. Not far from the seal bay conservatory and the flinders chase national park. The house is really homely and comfy, and has all the necessities.
was close to all the attractions we wanted to visit, which was important as we were only there for 2 days (which was not enough time) would stay there again for a longer time.
Kangastay is located within short driving distances from Kangaroo Islands attractions.The house is in a lovely peaceful natural setting including visits from local wildlife.It provides all the amenities needed for a short or long stay.Highly Recommend for a family holiday.
Clean, Tidy, Good amenities. Great location. Kanga Stay was a great spot to start the day off from and was perfect to wind down. Kids loved learning to fish in the river too!
Beautiful home with everything needed for a family stay. Quiet and peaceful, centrally located to all attractions on Kangaroo Island. Would definitely stay again if visiting the island.
very neat and tidy house in quiet place ideally fitted out for a family stay with plenty of books ,games and puzzles for the wet days,will definetly stay again next trip
Perfectly located for all ends of the island. We had koalas in the trees, geckos and wallabies on the ground, the beach a stone’s throw away. Everything you need for a family getaway.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Vivonne Bay. The property was as described and pictured. We had everything we needed including a comfortable bed and more than adequate kitchen facilities. The location was perfect for exploring and south and west sections of Kangaroo Island. Everything was as described and Dean came in person to help us out with the TV. Thank you.
Well equipped kitchen and outdoor BBQ, nice spacious 3 bedroom with outdoor deck. Owners clearly care about local wildlife and enhancing the experience for visitors.
