Summary: The reality of the place was much better than the pictures. It was so convenient to where we needed to go. A bonus was thet Emu Ridge was just 5 minutes away.The house is very solid and well stocked. Little poochie approved of the place as well. She had a well fenced yard to roam in. Thank-you for sharing this wonderful place.Darlene and Alex

Berchelle N. Apr 25, 2025 10:55:54 AM
Summary: A truly warm and welcoming stay in a comfortable, pet-friendly home surrounded by stunning nature and local wildlife. The location made it easy to explore nearby attractions, and the hosts were excellent—friendly, responsive, and made everything seamless. A lovely getaway experience all around.
Mike H. Mar 15, 2025 04:48:51 PM
Summary: This property was very comfortable. It had everything you need to make it your home. It was centrally located on KI and not far from Kingscote, which provides all amenities required. We were on KI for 10 days, so we could cover most tourist attractions on day trips as well as spend some days to just relax. Thanks to the hosts to provide such a great property.

Summary: Loved staying here. Very quiet, clean and had everything we needed.
HAYLEY J. Jan 4, 2025 12:09:34 PM
Summary: We had an amazing stay at this beautiful, fully equipped farmhouse! The property is perfect for families, with plenty of space for our kids to explore. They loved the swing set, and we enjoyed watching ducks, bees, and even kangaroos right out the front. The variety of birds was also a real treat. The house itself is spacious, with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, so everyone had plenty of room. It’s also conveniently located – just a two-minute drive to Emu Ridge, where we enjoyed great coffee and delicious damper. The DVD collection was a fun bonus for cozy nights in. The island is easy to get around, and overall, this place made for a perfect, relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!
Samuel S. Dec 15, 2024 12:24:18 PM
Summary: Fantastic place if you want to relax away from it all in your own private retreat. Great walking around the property, reading books, relaxing but also close enough to the beaches and tourist areas when we wanted to get out. Property was nice and clean for us.
Antoinette M. Nov 27, 2024 06:03:30 PM
Summary: We loved the location, quiet but accessible to attractions. The hous had everything you could want for self catering. We would have preferred to have been able to use the double beds in each room as opposed to the single ones. However the beds were comfortable but small.
Beverley K. Oct 15, 2024 05:35:50 PM
Summary: Our family loved our stay here, plenty of room for our family of four and could accommodate a lot more. Kids loved riding their bikes around the property and going down to the dam. Our fur baby loved the big front enclosed garden. Will definitely be back again rebaagain
