Walk to the scenic coastal trail, Tidal Pool, Yacht Club beach (great for kids), jetty & foreshore playground. The ideal base for your Kangaroo Island stay! Inside the Home Our spacious, fully renovated home is designed with families in mind. The kitchen is well equipped for self-catering — perfect when you’d prefer a relaxed meal in instead of dining out. It includes everything you need plus a Webber Q BBQ for outdoor cooking. The house sleeps up to six guests. Two bedrooms feature queen beds, while the kids’ room has a single bed with a trundle that can be made up on request. A port-a-cot is also available. Family-Friendly Comforts Traveling with little ones is easy here. You’ll find a high chair, stroller, foam play mat, toys, books, bath toys, bikes, beach toys, plastic crockery & cutlery, and silicone bibs. For the bigger kids (and grown-ups), we’ve stocked the buffet near the front door with plenty of board games. To keep things extra fun, we’ve also hidden animals around the house for a Kangaroo Island–themed scavenger hunt — the kids will be entertained for hours (you might even forget they’re there!). Explore Kingscote & Beyond Our location makes exploring simple. Kingscote offers pubs, restaurants, cafés, gift shops, supermarkets, and fuel, plus plenty of activities right on your doorstep.

You can hire a car if you choose to fly to the Island. Make sure you book your Ferry with Sealink as soon as making your accomodation reservation as spaces are limited. Strictly NO parties, NO pets & NO smoking inside please. Please don\`t help yourself to extra towels without asking and do not take them to the beach please. Thanks. Please leave the house neat and tidy, rubbish placed in the outside bins and dishes cleaned. Please only flush toilet paper down the toilet as anything else will block it. Please don\`t slide the lounges around as it damages the floor. If you have time it would be really appreciated if the linen can be stripped off of the bed including quilt covers. This helps me keep the recommended cleaning fee off of the bookings. Thanks.☺️ ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils -
