An ideal location for the ferry. The house has great views. Modern with everything that any type of traveller might need. When the road works are completed there will be easier access to the main body of rhe Island, albeit as it currently is, we had no problems.

Living room was great with a stunging seaview. Kitchen utensils were well maintain and I was surprised by the number of boxes of board games provided as well as the table tennis table. Towels and bedsheets were clean and there are lots of space in the whole house. Will definitely introduce my friends to this property.

Great location. Loved the amenities, truly appreciated. Kids games. Stunning view. Great kitchen with everything we needed. Comfy beds and pillows. Great to have a fire and wood. Heater worked great, nice showers/bathroom. Again thank you for the amenities. Thank you for thinking of everything so nice to turn up and not need a million things at the shop for our stay. We will stay again!

Gem of a house!

I booked Baudin House for a weekend getaway with friends for our first trip to KI. The house was amazing! The pictures were exactly as the house was. The view of Penneshaw and the Bay was perfect. It rained all weekend but we didn't care as the wood fire kept us cosy and warm. We can't wait to come back and will definitely book Baudin House again. Betty was a lovely lady who made sure everything was perfect for us. We can't wait to see her again also!

Mysigt boende med underbart läge

Baudin House är ettt mycket bra och mysigt boende i form av ett litet hus med altan. Köket är mycket välutrustat och bra grillplats finns på den stora altanen. Vaker utsikt och ett fåtal meter till fin sandstrand. Även nära till mycket bra mataffär. Kvälllspromenader i närheten där vi såg ett stort antal kängurur. Hit vill vi gärna återvända!

Perfect base for exploring east end of Kangaroo Is

3 of us stayed at Baudin House for 2 nights at the end of a wonderful trip to Kangaroo Island. It was the perfect place to stay with everything we could possibly have needed and plenty of space. Betty and Michael were on hand if we wanted anything and they gave us a few recommendations of places to go. It was a great base from which to get around the eastern part of the island and just minutes to the ferry terminal. Happy to recommend and would stay again.

Great location, great view. The house is a great space to share with family or friends and is very well appointed. It has everything you need to help you relax and unwind and feel like you're in your own home. The owners welcomed us on arrival enabling us to check in early as soon as we got off the ferry. They couldn't have been more helpful.

Excellent host and excellent amenities

When we booked this place we had no idea what to expect. And what an experience it turned out to be. With an excellent hostess in Betty nothing could go wrong. She was extremely helpful in setting up the beautiful house. More importantly she understood that we have a young family and guided us to some of the best "non commercial " places to visit. She also help us feel at home during our stay and the amenities were just cherry on the cake. I would whole wholeheartedly recommend staying at Baudin Beach in any time. Thanks Betty for being so nice, warm and helpful. This house is great and a like a dream with its convenient location and awesome views.
