10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely outstanding stay on Kangaroo Island. The home was spotless, beautifully renovated and equipped with modern, high‑quality facilities. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the ambience was relaxed and welcoming, and the heating and cooling made the house perfect in all conditions. There are multiple showers, including one of the best showers I’ve ever experienced.The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, the BBQ was great, and the house is spacious with plenty of room to relax. The large deck was a standout — ideal for watching wallabies, enjoying the sea views and taking in the amazing star-filled night skies. A stunning beach is just a short walk away.The kids absolutely loved it. They made use of the kayaks provided, played table tennis and billiards, watched movies, swam at the beach and went fishing — there was never a dull moment.The host was excellent: easily contactable, a great communicator, and very generous with local advice, sharing fantastic tips on Kangaroo Island activities and restaurants that really enhanced our stay.While Kangaroo Island involves some driving, this place is very well located and made it easy to explore the island. We had an amazing time and highly recommend this property."
