Independent in Parndana

"Comfortable, unique and well designed accommodations in a gorgeous physical setting. We walked the large property and encountered beautiful wildlife including kangaroos, wallabies and koalas. Yael provided excellent, thorough guidance prior to our stay and Lina met us on site to provide further assistance with warmth and thoughtfulness. The retreat is near Flinders Chase National Park and a number of animal sanctuaries, all well worth a visit. We loved our visit to Ecopia Retreat! "

"Very neat & tidy with a magnificent view, plenty of wildlife to keep you entertained "

"This place has everything you need. The view over the bay is wonderful and can be enjoyed from the large living area inside or from the deck. The kitchen is well equipped. It was a perfect place to take our Japanese guests!"

"Stokes Bay, and thus the cabins, is isolated. Situated on the cliff face, looking north, one is surrounded by silence and peace, mixed with dozens of kangaroos and even some sheep. Nearby is the only restaurant, sadly open only till 5 pm; so bring your own food or consider a drive to Kingcote (sadly with roo-danger for the nightly return. We stayed three nights to have a holiday… make daytime excursions and enjoy evenings at the cabin. Highly recommended, but not if you expect action!"

"I felt like staying my home. If I can, I’ll give 6 stars to it."

"Olivia was a lovely host who communicated well and very kindly even gave us an insightful and exciting farm tour. My son was able to pat working dogs and horses, feed chickens, collect eggs for his breakfast and see a horse and rider conducted cattle muster! In real life! The accomodation was very comfortable, and would suit any type of group, even large family groups! Fully private and self contained with all amenities, no ducted air or ceiling fans, but a log burning heater, complete with supply of logs and an outside fire pit. Main bedroom has a walk in robe and ensuite and house also has main bathroom with bath and shower and separate toilet. Decor And furnishings peaceful, tasteful and very comfortable Native animals around, and farm animals in sight over the fencing. Well situated in the middle of KI near small town of Parndana, which has a very good hotel/pub which does delicious and very reasonably priced meals. Parndana also has an interesting pioneer museum and a very eclectically chic new shop, opened by our host Olivia, coincidentally, which has a variety of beautiful KI produced and/or sourced items including antiques, homewares, skin care and clothing items. Unfortunately I missed the opening times, so I was disappointed, and had to make do with window shopping, but for future visits, I noted they are open Tues, Wed and Thursday 1100 - 3. Definitely worth a visit. The accommodation is also well placed to visit Flinders Chase National Park"

"30 (?) year old house in very good condition in an excellent position with a great view, Koalas in the front trees and dolphins frolicking in the beautiful bay to the rear. A very comfortable stay."
