Ocean View overlooking Vivonne Bay - minutes' walk to beach

8/10 Good

"."

Kangastay on Vivonne Bay beside the Harriet River on Kangaroo Island.

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful property kitted out with everything needed for a stay with the family (barring washing machine). Serene location with lots of wildlife and a short walk to the beach. Loved Kangastay and can't wait to return!"

Discovery Parks - Kangaroo Island

10/10 Excellent

"This location is great and so close to Flinders Chase National Park. It’s quiet and clean with great amenities. Bed was very comfortable and we see lots of wildlife. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Well done!"

Lovely 3 bedroom home with river views. Perfect location to explore the Island.

8/10 Good

"The house was very comfortable and beds excellent! I am not up to date with electronics so I found the TV /Video VERY confusing. Apparently I needed to find the ‘source’ button on the tv remote ( I texted Tamara to get that info) I had to look this up on Chat GPT as I had no idea what this looked like. After finding it, I remembered from my own TV that I needed HTV2 but that didn’t work. A friend took over and suggested HTV 3 which finally worked. Pls could home owners write all this down carefully so that those of use who don’t have modern TVs can follow precise instructions. And have the info up to date nearby so easily found."

Kangaroo Island Supashak - Modern take on iconic Australian Shack

10/10 Excellent

"The Supashak did not disappoint. As you drive up, you may be mistaken for its unassuming facade, however as soon as you enter you can tell it’s special. The best part are the little visitors you’ll meet each night from around 5/5.30pm. They’ll keep you entertained for hours from the dining window, so no need for the TV. The premises were beautiful and clean, and the coffee machine was a very welcome addition! The only issue were the mozzies, so come well equipped with mozzie repellent. Also, there isn’t a lot of food options near by so pack a good supply for meals. If you’re heading to Vivonne Bay, give this place a spot on your list!"

RoolagoonHomestead large deck and large gardens ideal for families. Pet friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Good location in the middle of the island. Nice house with lovely garden surroundings where native birds can be seen from the windows. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly which is helpful in a fairly isolated area. We had some cold items and early check in could be accommodated so we could use the fridge. The hosts cooked some pizza for us on Saturday night which was good as there are no local restaurants and driving at night is not recommended due to wildlife on the roads."

Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary and Cabins

8/10 Good

"Great location for kangaroo island marathon and finders chase national park."

Ecopia Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"This was the first time we traveled to Australia and we were so fortunate to have the opportunity to stay at Ecopia Retreat in the Residence property! The Residence was beautifully decorated and the back yard was full of wildlife! It was a perfect stay for our family for 4 days. The host was always available and so friendly. The stars at night were unbelievable! Totally off the grid and relaxing and special!"

Island Time at Vivonne Bay - short walk to beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, comfortable,clean and private. Love the visits from the wallabies towards evening. Excellent communication with the hosts. They go above and beyond. Thank you Ian and Ann"
