Check in was disappointing. Dave was meant to text details to me but apparently sent them to a wrong number. When I arrived I called the required number and it went to voicemail. I got a call back some hours later.

Regular visitors to KI (5 times per year) but first stay at this location. Perfectly positioned for access to any part of the island. Quiet, beautiful and peaceful setting. We will definitely stay here again. The only negative thing is the size of the shower!!!! I have been in a telephone box larger than cabin 5 shower. Overall- FANTASTIC

The ferry was cancelled 2 days in a row due to bad weather. We had paid for a 3-day stay. Management took all 3 days deposit as we had to cancel less than 24 hours before our due date. To forfeit 1 night is understandable but to take 3 days for no service is very unfair. These were circumstances beyond our control Advise others to book 1 night and then make a separate booking for subsequent nights

Served the purpose for us. It is quite old but functional. We found it a bit congested despite 2 bedrooms for 3 adults. Hosts are very helpful and communication was excellent. Overall we'd a pleasant stay. We're amazed to see Roos grazing

There was no hot water in the kitchen sink, the reverse cycle air conditioner was very noisy, and stuck in full fan speed, very difficult to sleep at night, with the heater on...When we arrived, we had no information about our cottage number, as it was not communicated to us by email or phone. We had to ask, outgoing customers, who told us to ring a specific number.

Our stay was comfortable. The owner is incredibly helpful and really lovely. The only thing is the description included a DVD player, but one wasn't available. Apart from that we enjoyed our time.

Good location, decent size cabins. Good for a family stay. Dated decor, poor quality double bed. Cabin showed plenty of general wear and tear and there was a disappointing lack of attention to detail with cleaning.

Perfect location! 5 mins from Kingscote. We liked the cosy vibe. Wasn’t very clean and didn’t have a hot water tap in the kitchen. Hot water in the shower didn’t last long either.

The advertised property shows wooden cabins. When I reached, I was disappointed to see container cabins. One of the alloted cabins was stinking like sewerage. This was pointed out to the manager and was assured that a plumber would attend the issue but this never happened while I was there for 4 days. Had to sleep with bathroom exhaust running with windows open for the whole duration of the stay. Otherwise expansive property with open fields and close to Kingscote.

Sorry to hear about your response The wooden cabins are the 2 bedroom cabins that is clearly stated not the standard 1 bedroom cabins which you booked. The issue with the odour was not mentioned until the 2nd day and the plumber was called immediately but as it was a long weekend public holiday the plumber did not arrive until the Wednesday which was out of my control. Unfortunately I did not realise the odour was so bad as I was told it only occurred during showering. Usually in this situation the guest would have been moved to another cabin. I do apologise for the misunderstanding

It was ok. The toilet started smelling though even with the vents switched on. We were at the end of a row of cabins. We were perhaps near the septic. So perhaps request bot for that cabin. It was cabin 10 I think.

Fridge and oven were only small. ( bar fridge) did food shopping for 4 nights and could fit much in fridge. Power kept tripping on christmas night so took forever to cook roast in small oven. tv very small and only 1 sofa to sit. Fine for 2 people but for 2 adults and 2 kids not a lot of room or comfortable seating.

Really bad smell from the drain in the bathroom. Not really that clean. Cups, plates etc needed a good clean before we used them. Bring a good fry pan with you. The place really needed a deep clean. Great place if you want to get away a few animals passing by!

Quiet cabins long walk from Kingscote.
Nice quiet cabins a short drive from the airport. We got a transfer from the airport but didn't have a car. It's a long walk-- 45 minutes-- to get to Kingscote. Wouldn't recommend for a long stay without a car but th cabins were nice and it would be a good place to relax for a few days. Manager was not on site when we arrived mid-afternoon but there was a sign to call with a phone number and she told us which cabin was set up for us. Easy in the end, but make sure you have a phone that can make local calls!
