This property is quiet and comfortable, convenient to town and ferry with great ocean views, with dolphins swimming past morning and evening. You can’t ask for more.
This property is a real pearl. Breathe taking views of the ocean in a gorgeous home - everything possible for a dream holiday on kangaroo island. I will be definitely booking this house again.
The outlook (from the deck and the living areas of the house) over the bay and the ocean is one of the best of any place we have ever stayed. The house was clean and has everything you need. Website info is accurate and check-in and contact with owner very smooth. Highly recommended.
Wonderful position to explore beautiful Kangaroo Island. Home contained everything we required for a family holiday and Bruce the kangaroo delighted the 7 year old beyond the gate each day. Thank you.
The view from deck is utterly fantastic. Loved watching the ferrys arrive and depart, and seeing pods of dolphins swim by in the sea. And the birdlife in the garden amazing! Terrific wood heater inside for the evenings, with plentiful supply of wood. So cozy.Beds very comfortable.
My wife and I were going to take our Cavoodle but then realised we couldn't take her as the 'pet friendly' element meant that she couldn't be in the house but could stay outside. Nick was nice enough to say we could keep her in the laundry to sleep. We ended up leaving her at home and still had the best time! The place was so peaceful.
House good comfortable front gate needs repair very difficult to open / close
Shower handle falls off
Holes in screen wire had to put towels over holes to stop insects getting in
Nick and his amazing cleaner Dallys were so good and accommodating to us even tho we rocked up a day early cos of my mess up. The house was spotless and had everything you need including waking up on the last morning and looking out the window to dolphins playing in the ocean. Nothing bad at all to say about this place. Loved it. Will recommend to everybody. Thanks guys for being so awesome and having such a beautiful place for us to stay.

Great location, but wouldn't stay again.
On arrival, we were highly disappointed to see the lawns were extremely overgrown and the weeds were in abundance. The atmosphere outside was therefore ruined and we were unable to enjoy the backyard with our small children. We feel this was an unacceptable way to rent your home out to paying people. The house has many cobwebs all over and many arachnids reside at the home.
Overall, the rest of the house was okay, but could use some upgrades. For example the washing machine was so noisy, it was difficult to tolerate. The beds were really comfortable and the linen was also great so that was appreciated. The house was well equipped. Location and view was really good. Very close to the ferry.
Property was very clean and tidy
Great view from the deck
Great size yard for the dogs
Please keep it pet friendly with dogs allowed inside, maybe in the future the carpet can be replaced with vinyl flooring
Close to town so walked in each day with the dogs
