DaveRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Amazing house in the most beautiful location. 2 minutes walk and you're on the beach with pelicans and dolphins with kangaroos in the garden too. The house is stocked with everything you could need. Kangaroo Island is one of my favourites places in the works and this house has to be one of the best on the island.

Ocean View overlooking Vivonne Bay

ErikaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

I don't even know where to begin to describe this wonderful experience. This was the first time in 15 years for my husband and me to visit Kangaroo Island, and the very first time for our 6- and 9-year-old children. Vivonne Bay was the perfect location, offering ideal access to all the places that captivated us, and we enjoyed every day in comfort. Adorable animals visited the ocean view throughout the day, and our children absolutely loved spending time with the cute wallabies and birds. Without a doubt, this has become one of our most treasured memories. The room was very clean, fully equipped with everything we needed, and we were able to stay comfortably without any inconvenience. Ian and Anne’s recommended handbook was also incredibly helpful. Even the meals at the nearby general store exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much!!

KOKUMI [rich taste,delicious] cosy coastal cottage

BendixRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Absolutely loved our stay at KOKUMI! Mark and Leanne have created something truly special. The view is simply breathtaking — one of those places where photos just can’t do it justice. The apartment is incredibly well-equipped with everything you could possibly need, down to the smallest detail. The terrace is an absolute dream — perfect for morning coffee, sunset drinks, or just soaking in the beauty of the surroundings. The absolute highlight? We spotted dolphins right from the terrace — an unforgettable moment that made our stay even more magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. Mark and Leanne’s warm hospitality and thoughtful touches made all the difference. Communication was smooth, friendly, and super helpful from start to finish. This place is a gem, and we can’t wait to come back!

Yoho house is an amazing find. It is set in such beautiful surroundings and is amazingly private and peaceful. our family loved the views from the kitchen and living area, watching the sheep and cattle graze, the ducks and birds enjoying the creeks and the wedgetail eagles soaring above the hills and over the house. The house is extremely comfortable and had everything we could have wanted.

We absolutely loved our stay, it was the perfect spot to access the beach. The sunset and sunrise views from the lounge and kitchen table were amazing. We could even watch the dolphins in the bay morning and night. Our two young children also loved the place, we had access to a high chair and portacot. We would very happily stay here again. Lovely and clean.

This house was perfect for taking our Uk family to Kangaroo Island. Emu Bay has safe swimming and is very beautiful and peaceful. We also saw koalas, kangaroos and penguins. House is well equipped and was big enough to comfortably accommodate our family of 4 adults. Over the weekend there is a small cafe, bar by the beach which was great for having a drink while looking at the beach.

Janette and Herb run a fantastic Airbnb. We stayed for 5 nights and found the place extremely comfortable and well provisioned with everything you could possibly need. Herb is a great host and gave us some local tips, and helped us out when we needed something. I strongly recommend this if you’re looking for accommodation in the area.

Salt Kangaroo Island - beach and sea views

SherilynRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had a lovely stay at Salt , Crystal was easy to contact and responsive if required . The accommodation was perfect it had everything needed to have a relaxing stay . The only downside was the work being carried out on the ferry terminal , it could be a bit noisy at night . Hopefully it will be completed soon and stillness will resume . That being said it did not really affect our holiday and I would highly recommend Salt and look forward to returning .
