We had a lovely stay whilst waiting for our ferry back to the mainland. It is huge and had a great view of the wild seas. A short walk away from the local pub, cafes and supermarkets. The owners were very accomodating of our booking (made just a few hours before check in), and they made sure everything was set up and ready for us. Will definitely stay there again when I back on KI.

The property was great. You do need a car, but everything is nearby. There is an information centre just across the street. The view from the apartment is the best and everything you need is found within the unit. It is defiantly home away from home. We highly recommend staying here.

Great location close to the sealink terminal, shops,dining and coffee. If you were more adventurous, then kingscote closer to the natonal park. You do need an element of fitness, as stairs inside the house were steep. Be aware that when front blinds down, you can see in when lights on. Communication very good with owner. Will stay here again in the future.

Location on seafront at Christmas Cove was excellent. Amenities in kitchen, bbq, bathrooms, books, toys, magazines and tourism brochures excellent. Janitor living below was a bit close living. Shame no undercover parking protection for car. Otherwise this clean modern property near shops & pub, beach and museum faultless. Would return again.

Spacious and modern two storey holiday house with ocean view. Good facilities and convenient location, unfortunately being close to the main road in and out of town also meant being woken up early by the occasional truck speeding through. My kids loved the place and were sad to leave, that said they didn't like the spiders and millipedes downstairs - suggest better door seals to keep them out. Would still recommend to others and stay here again myself.

Super comfortable modern stay on Kangaroo Island

The unit was a two storey affair with two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs. The rooms were large well furnished and comfortable. The main Living area is upstairs with views to the north and east. Very comfortable and modern. Highly recommend stay

Lovely convenient house

The house was lovely, spacious and clean with great sea views both upstairs and downstairs. The location meant we were at the house, unpacked and relaxing within minutes of disembarking the ferry. It was convenient to walk into Penneshaw for a meal in the evenings, and being directly across the road from the Visitor Information Centre made it was easy to plan activities for our short break. With four bedrooms, a main open plan kitchen, living and dining area upstairs plus an additional smaller kitchen, living and dining area downstairs there was plenty of room for our group of five adults. There was an en suite, main bathroom plus additional toilet and vanity. It was also very well equipped, with a laundry with washer and tumble dryer (we didn't need to use either for our three night stay), and microwave and dishwasher in the main kitchen as well as the oven and cook top. Had a great stay and would definitely stay there again if we re-visit Kangaroo Island.

Great unit but lacks housekeeping and cleanliness

The location of the unit is fabulous and it overlooks the water (fantastic sunset views). Fairly new unit but cleanliness is not great. We were initially given the wrong code to the house but property manager quickly texted me the new one. The cleanliness is not great as the oven, dishwasher etc was not clean prior to our arrival. There were dishes in the dishwasher, unclean oven tray in the oven and food (some expired) in the fridge. There was lack of towels, no dishwashing liquid and even though they advertised that there was a bit of coffee tea etc - it was two packets of coffee etc - not replenished. We even found cobwebs in the kitchen. Even though the unit was fairly new the cleanliness is less desirable.

Nicest hotel/Apt on the island from what we saw...

Ok. I promise I am not the owner trying to write my own review... This apartment was more than perfect! It was in the best location (if youre coming off the ferry). It was huge with plenty spacious. We only were 2 but it would be perfect for 2 families (with 2 kids or so each) to have a vacation. There are 2 levels and they both have gorgeous views onto Christmas cove (BTW, the ocean safari which leaves FROM christmas cove was well worth the money....) and each level has a huge tv and very nice couch arrangment with a table. It also had all these extras like fishing rods and water boards plus a washing machine which was very convenient. they also left very detailed instructions on everything. Im telling you: we drove past hotel after hotel and this was the nicest...kangaroo island isnt a luxury hotspot but this is as close as you get plus it has a nice kitchen which is well stocked. There may be a cottage on the other side of the island that we missed but this was really beyond our expectations especially for like ~200$ a night during peak season! We hope to come back with more family and well be sure to stay here... PS. If I was the owner or a friend, I wouldnt give it 5 stars for EVERYTHING ;)
