Loved our stay
Had two main requirements, view and open fire. The view was fantastic, our own private beach although winter was amazing. The sunsets were spectacular. Combustion heater with plenty of fire wood was just what we asked for.

Private and stunning
This property is in a beautiful, peaceful location. We had this gorgeous beach to ourselves as even though two other houses (one still being built) are on the same private parcel of land, there was no one else staying at the time. The house is a little tired and not fancy, but it was clean and well equipped. The location is hard to beat and we were delighted to stay there. We even saw an echidna in the yard on our last night! We’d happily book again.

Rustic beach house on the north coast. The bay/location is truly incredible. There are some unsealed roads to reach the property, but well worth the journey!

What a special place!
We loved our stay, great directions to the property, clear communication with our host, easy check-in and a fantastic place to stay. We marveled at the view, watched the many different animals and overall just relaxed. Sunsets on the deck were a favourite time. We left hoping to visit again soon.

Untouched beauty
The view from this property is simply stunning With its own private beach access and a umbrella set up ready for a blissful private visit, this property feels like home away from home. I tried to read a book in the afternoons but I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the beach view and the sun setting over the ocean. Once the sun went down we enjoyed the second lounge space facing the wood fire heater playing cards and just relaxing. We appreciated the owner contacting us on our night of arrival to ensure we didn’t get lost and checking in with us to ensure we had everything we needed. We loved our 5 night stay and enjoyed everything kangaroo island has to offer, including the friendly locals which made our stay a time we will cherish

Amazing location
If you’re looking for a room with a view… this is it. Magnificent. Walks along the beach all to yourself… heaven. Would appreciate some outdoor shade and comfy lounge to catch up on the long overdue reading. A little closer monitoring of the kitchen cupboard contents would be appreciated. But we enjoyed our stay immensely, revisiting places we’d seen before and finding many new places of beauty. KI is a gem.

Stunning views, peaceful and relaxing stay. We stayed at this wonderful property for our honeymoon and enjoyed the time to relax and unwind. It’s the perfect spot to disconnect and just breathe. The host was wonderful, even offering to pick up things for us from Kingscote if we needed! We will be back!

Pros and Cons
Pros: The location of this place is superb as long as you don’t mind being isolated. The beach it overlooks and the land it is set on is really beautiful. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. There is little phone reception and no TV reception which we really appreciated as it allowed us to truly cut off. The beds are comfy and warm with electric blankets. There was plenty of wood for the fireplace. The host is lovely and communication with him was good. Cons: to be completely honest, I thought the place was quite overpriced. For what we paid, I expected better. In general, the home looks tired and the wet areas particularly are in need of maintenance or updating. There was no tea, coffee or sugar in the kitchen which I would think is a basic inclusion. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but do believe you’re paying for the view.

The house is full of character and we felt right at home from the minute we stepped inside. The fire and the spectacular views were mesmerising. Highly recommend the house for its charm and Chris was a fabulous host providing detailed communication for our stay as well as a well stocked wood heap for the fire! Loved the welcome from the sheep too!

A little piece of heaven
From the moment you arrive you feel at home. The view is absolutely breathtaking and the sound of the waves rocks you to sleep each night! We woke up to the most stunning sunrises before exploring the area each day. We then enjoyed a wine on the deck each night watching the sunset before enjoying the most spectacular show of stars before retiring to the lounge for a warm fire. The private beach doesn’t disappoint either! If you need to completely switch off from the world and slow down- this is the place!

Time to Recalibrate
Location and surroundings were spectacular … Whilst the house is pretty basic it’s all you need … the lack of TV and wifi was a bonus and enabled true relaxation and a chance to just be present … Chris was very hospitable and welcoming and had wood stocked up for open fires each night . You Don’t realise how busy life is until you visit this beautiful part of the world . Thank you Chris for sharing it with us .

What a view
This property is perfectly placed to take in the views of King George Beach and the surrounding landscape. The beach is pristine, presents great photo opportunities or a place to relax and unwind. If the weather isn't conducive to being outside, the panoramic views from the living room is the perfect substitute. Highly recommend.
