"This house was absolutely stunning. We stayed with family for a week and the house accommodated 6 adults perfectly. The wood fire was just what we needed with some cold nights during our stay and the view from the back deck was spectacular - we even saw some dolphins out in the bay! The location was great, just 20 minutes from the main town of Kingscote which had everything we needed - Drakes IGA, cafes, restaurants and the obligatory souvenir shops - plus lots of local artisans nearby (don't...

Wintersun Holiday Cottage | Emu Bay | Tommys
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (13)
"This cottage would be perfect for someone wanting to completely get away from the world or on a fishing holiday. The view was gorgeous and it was so close to the beach, you could not ask for more in this regard. However, we needed to drive in and out of Kingscote regularly to find things to do which got a bit much because we didn’t realise there was nothing around. This was just our misunderstanding of the island though and no fault of the property, which really was lovely. "

"We spent two nights at A Dune Escape on Kangaroo Island. It was a lovely, welcoming, home and we were very comfortable there. The house is extremely well equipped (the best equipped kitchen in any holiday rental we have every stayed in), extremely clean, quiet and warm. The location is amazing - loads of birds and animals in the grounds and an amazing beach over the dune at the back. Would highly recommend it as a base for exploring Kangaroo Island - we wish we had allowed more time there."
