Amazing view, beautiful house, very well equipt, lovely location. We were two families of a total 10 pax and the house was perfect for such a large group. Only point to raise is the proximity to the neighbors. Would love to come back another time. Loved Kangaroo Island.

Huge house and really well set up in a great location

Location is great, house is huge with separate lounge areas and loads of bedrooms. Great view and super quiet location. Outside area could be tidied up for more practical use on the beach side but overall it is a well appointed house for use all year round and right on the coast of Kingscote! Would definitely go back. Thank you.

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.

Great location...older home.

The house is very large and was great for our group of five adults. The jacuzzi tub in the master was not working but I'm not sure it was listed. The showers were a bit yucky (moldy?) on the edges. There was no detergent for the washer or dishwasher, or pods for the Nespresso (which was moldy and needed for us to give a deep clean before we could use it). I contacted the owner and supplies were brought the next day, which was great, although we had gone and bought some things we needed the first day ourselves. Being at the ocean was wonderful for evening strolls, star gazing and sunrises. It was great to have a large garage to pull into for shelter from the sun and unloading and loading. I would say the home needs a little more TLC than it is getting. With that said, we enjoyed the space and had a fabulous time on KI.

Family Holiday in Kangaroo Island

Arrived at WOW, already with instructions on how to enter. All went smoothly. House was absolutely beautiful and the view spectacular. There was an area with games and books, and toys for kids. It looks to me that the house caters from babies through to aged. It really is a beautiful house with the best view.
