JulianRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

My partner and I had a fantastic last minute two night stay at Rachel's. She was very accommodating and helpful on facilitating us staying at short notice. The unit had a beautiful view of the water and was very comfortable, tidy, and well equipped with modern amenities. There were thoughtful touches throughout the place - it was clear the hosts had put in extra effort to make guests feel special. We enjoyed a rejuvenating stay and lovely food and drinks in easy walking distance. We'd happily recommend staying at Rachel's place and would visit again in a heartbeat.

Marine Cottage Stunning sea views

AndrewRating, 5 stars1 month ago

A wonderful 6 nights at Emu Bay in Marine Cottage. For us the location was very handy to get round by car to all the main attractions to be seen on Kangaroo Island. Whilst the cottage is not new or modern, it was very clean and functional. Peter's communication and offering of assistance was first class. The closeness to local wildlife, ie, Penguins (a colony is just over the road), we also had a koala walk through the front yard, and dolphins in the bay, all contributed to a great stay. The outlook is extraordinary, with the verandah facing the bay. All in all wonderful.

Possum Ridge was a really private and peaceful retreat for our stay on Kangaroo Island. The bush surroundings were beautiful and the house very suited to our extended-family stay. We really appreciated all the facilities like TVs, BBQ, fully functioning kitchen, washing facility and many household amd pantry items available, such as kitchen items, condiments, washing and bathing needs. Plus upstairs and downstairs sitting areas which suited our multi-generation group. It was a pleasure to stay... many thanks.
