Wonderful location right on beach
2 couples for 4 nights- we Loved the spaciousness & location of this home. Linen & beds could be updated. We were shocked to discover we had accidentally almost caused a fire in the appliance cupboard (damage) and Dwayne was wonderful & understanding about the whole matter.

Nat's 70th celebrated with friends
So, the house was amazing - very spacious, great location. We (4 old friends - of 45 yrs +) were there to celebrate my 70th birthday! The disappointing bit was the very strong smell of septic on arrival, and, subsequently the toilets filling up and not flushing properly, and, the septic itself overflowing. We were only 4... The house has the potential of 12!! We contacted the host who said he would send the cleaner to check. I have no reason to think this happened. Also, the grass out the front should have been mowed.

Fantastic views and position. six adults stayed and plenty of room for all of us. As it was the middle of winter the heating worked well and the whole house was very clean and presentable. A fantastic base for exploring Kangaroo Island. Very quiet and had everything we wanted and needed. One small problem the toaster was missing its its push down handle.

Amazing place
We enjoyed every moment of our stay, the views are amazing and the property is well furnished and clean. The only downside is that it was advertised as 5 bedrooms (we required 5) but only 4 had beds in it therefore 2 adults had to share a bed. I would certainly come back to this property, all appliances were in good state and working well, the house was clean and tidy.

Lovely house on the beach
Unfortunately we found the kitchen was not clean, the stove was so dirty I was hesitant to use it, the dishwasher didn’t work, the spa was broken. At least the spa had a notice warning us, but the dishwasher we tried to use as there was not a note stating it didn’t work so we left it with half dirty water in it.. The tv downstairs was not connected to the antenna or internet so we couldn’t use that either.. altogether my children paid for us to stay there (we felt a lot of money) and they would be very disappointed.. my husband and I loved kangaroo island and had a great time..

Slightly Disappointed after booking 12 months in Advance
We booked this 12 months in advance - we contacted property manager at time of booking to clarify if there were Air Con. Manager told us All Bedrooms have a ceiling fan and Air con was in both the upstairs and down stairs living areas. At the time of staying - the downstairs bedroom did not have a ceiling fan. The upstairs Air Con was broken and did not cool at all. And as we travelled at end of JAN it was hot in the bedrooms and when you are expecting cooling and don’t get it - it is not what we paid for! We were told days before staying that we were not allowed to use the spa in the Master Ensuite and water leaks in to ceiling. One of the burners on the stove did not work. Rangehood was Filthy and had not been cleaned for a long term - plus no light working on it. Gas BBQ main hotplates did not work. There was a lot of Cigarette butts outside near table that had not been picked up. We found the beach out the front of the house was like quicksand for our kids - with dark smelling mud. We swam down at the Yacht club beach - which was alot more pleasant although required us to have to pack the car for the short drive down. The house was very large and great for large families or groups - I would recommend this house - but we were let down unfortunately.
