3 Bedroom House in Newland, Vivonne Bay

THE CLOSEST WALK TO THE BEACH...!
StormySky BeachHouse has been voted in the Top 10 rental homes on Kangaroo Island by South Australia Tourism and is a is a light and spacious character beach house literally 100 steps from the beach. It is tucked into a secluded bush setting, so that whilst one hears the waves crashing on the beach, there is protection from the elements. The beach house will appeal to people wanting accommodation designed for a nature based holiday experience, yet still providing all the comforts required to have a relaxing and enjoyable break.
StormySky has three bedrooms with one queen, one double and two single beds, so can sleep six people comfortably. There is a fully equipped kitchen so that one can take advantage of any locally bought specialty Kangaroo Island produce, and adjacent to the living area is a great outdoor patio with BBQ. The lounge has a cosy wood fire for those cool nights, a TV, stereo, books and games, and there are overhead fans in the living area and main bedroom for the warmer days. Please be mindful that the house is entirely run on rainwater, so minimal water consumption is appreciated.
SURROUNDINGS
Those 100 steps or so from StormySky BeachHouse brings you to the middle of the expansive Vivonne Bay beach with its captivating turquoise water. The Eleanor and Harriet Rivers, with their calm water, are both great walks from here. The Harriet is suitable for boating, fishing and safe swimming for the kids and there is a playground on the western side of the river. Further around, near Castle Rock and the jetty there is good snorkeling. The jetty of course is a great place to try your hand at catching dinner.
Wildlife abounds, with wallabies, possums and goannas seen regularly near the house. Little Penguins can sometimes be sighted after dark near the jetty and there is the odd Fur Seal sighting; in the winter months one may spot Southern Right Whales. Birds are ubiquitous and are seen in abundance both in the bush and on the sea shore. Our favourite visitors to the house are the Superb Fairy Wren and the beautiful Firetail Finch. Fill up the bird bath outside the kitchen window to encourage more feathered visitors!
The local shop stocks basic supplies, makes the best whiting burger and down the road at Outdoor Action one can hire gear such kayaks, canoes, sandboards and surfboards. The local golf course is an experience. And the coastline is stunning; one can walk along the beach for miles. If the southerly breeze or the surf beach is a little too much for you, turn towards the jetty and you will find a little sheltered swimming spot at the end of the beach, or walk over that headland to the safe and beautiful Castle Rock beach.
Vivonne Bay is ideally placed to access all of the major attractions on the Island. Little Sahara (sand boarding) and Raptor Domain (amazing bird shows) are close by. Flinders Chase (for Admirals Arch and the Remarkable Rocks), Seal Bay, Hanson Bay and Kelly Hill Caves are all within a half hour drive.

Summary: The property was fantastic. Cosy, clean and in a peaceful location. The family of wallabies was an absolute bonus to our stay. Highly recommend anyone visiting Vivonne Bay to stay here.

Summary: We loved our stay at Stormy Sky. It felt like being hosted by friends, it was a cosy home decked out with everything you need and was perfect for beautiful weather days (close to the beach, lots of exploring for the kids and the outdoor space was ideal for an evening drink or morning coffee), and also cold and windy days - the fire was all set up ready to go with enough wood, plus dvds and cds which the kids loved the novelty of! The bedrooms were lovely and beds comfy, and everything was clean. The main lounge has a huge, cosy lounge and lots of windows but it feels really private. The hosts know so much about the island so they provide heaps of helpful information as well. We suggest you byo pre-ground coffee for the stovetop coffee maker, and lots of groceries as there isn't much available locally. It was the perfect base camp for exploring KI!

Summary: StormySky is a lovely beach house, tastefully decorated, comfortably furnished and well equipped. It was wonderful to be so close to such a beautiful beach; we walked along the bay every morning and evening and rarely saw more than one other person. It was also a great base for exploring Kangaroo Island - we loved walking in Flinders Chase national park, doing guided walks to see sea lions and koalas and spotting kangaroos, possums and an echidna while we were out and about. We'd happily go back!

Summary: Stormsky is an ideal place to base yourself either for some R&R on the gorgeous Vivonne Bay or to be able to see the sights of south KI. The house is thoughtfully equipped with everything you need, furnishings are really comfortable, communication is excellent and the booking/check-in is easy. I couldn’t fault our time here and will be recommending to friends.

Summary: Lovely and quiet. Loved the wildlife. Perfect
Laurier L. Mar 15, 2024 08:04:16 AM
Summary: Beside the presence of beautiful birds and curious wallabies trying to see us from the windows (they were so cute!), this house is amazingly quiet and calm. We can hear the waves of the sea with the windows open. Over all this, the owners put a lot of details in place to ensure our comfort. There were even adaptor to plug our phone. The kitchen is supplied with more than we've seen in any other houses: books, games (a bunch of them!), maps of the island. We can see that the owners care. The only slight issue we had was the connection with Internet ; there is no wifi in the house and my old cell phone was difficult for the reservation for Kelly hills cave and seal bay. I may suggest to provide Wifi to help the guesses. So if you are looking for a calm place, cozy, peacefull with plenty of birds and wallabies, this is your place.

Summary: We loved our stay. Great location in Vivonne Bay, stroll to the beach, 15 minute walk to the delightful general store. The house had everything we needed, and the tranquillity was magic. All we ever heard were the ocean and birds!
Laura D. Feb 25, 2024 01:33:53 PM
Summary: We loved the native wildlife - kangaroos and birds - visiting us during our breakfasts and dinners at home. The apartment is warm & cozy and we appreciated the water saving tips provided by the owner. The home is conveniently located to the island's key nature attractions - the seals, birds of prey & remarkable rocks, little Saraha - so we saved over an hour driving every day.
