Perfect property for our stay. Our two families enjoyed the great views and spacious house. It is a short drive to town and has great access to all tourist sites around the island. Communication was excellent. We would highly recommend Wahroonga on the Water.

Wonderful location right on beach
2 couples for 4 nights- we Loved the spaciousness & location of this home. Linen & beds could be updated. We were shocked to discover we had accidentally almost caused a fire in the appliance cupboard (damage) and Dwayne was wonderful & understanding about the whole matter.

Great getaway
This is a great sized place for my family to stay, had plenty of room and didn't feel on top of each other. A couple of things were out of order but we managed fine without them. Great location.

Amazing place
We enjoyed every moment of our stay, the views are amazing and the property is well furnished and clean. The only downside is that it was advertised as 5 bedrooms (we required 5) but only 4 had beds in it therefore 2 adults had to share a bed. I would certainly come back to this property, all appliances were in good state and working well, the house was clean and tidy.

Fantastic views and position. six adults stayed and plenty of room for all of us. As it was the middle of winter the heating worked well and the whole house was very clean and presentable. A fantastic base for exploring Kangaroo Island. Very quiet and had everything we wanted and needed. One small problem the toaster was missing its its push down handle.

beautiful home in great location
7 friends stayed here for 5 nights. Plenty of space for us all. The walking track out the front of the property was a lovely way to get into town or just to enjoy the waterfront location. The house was right on the beach. It was clean and tidy with everything provided. We ate at the pub in town and also had BBQs at home. Overall a very nice place to base ourselves for a holiday on Kangaroo Island.

Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Supurb location & great for larger groups
Fab house, very close to kingscote attractions We were disappointed on some things that were advertised on the listing found not functioning upon arrival (dishwasher, spa, upstairs air con etc) Bbq was also filthy when we arrived. Otherwise a great stay!
