Duck Cottage was a wonderful experience. Would not hesitate to book there again.

A very nice retreat to stay and forget about the rest of the world amidst historic charm in a beautifully restored cottage.

My friend and I had such a lovely stay in Duck Cottage. The perfect spot for a writers retreat! The cottage itself was clean and quiet and had gorgeous little touches everywhere. The verandah was the perfect place for sitting in the sun with a cup of tea and reading. It was peaceful and homely. The setting was lovely too, we did a walk to the top of the hill nearby and sat and watched the fields below. The cows were very talkative, and we even saw some kangaroos! Margie was also very helpful, and let us arrive early and stay a little later. She was friendly, amenable and quick to respond. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at Duck Cottage! Super relaxing, no screens and such a comfy bed! Great location between Second Valley and Rapid Bay. Beautiful! Thanks a lot Margie, lovingly restored and we found ourselves pondering about the mystery people that built the house many moons ago!

Our family had the most wonderful stay at Duck Cottage. It felt homely and warm. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have slept in. The no TV, no clocks was divine and really did help bring us together playing board games in front of the fire; or reading a book with a nice glass of red! The gardens are lovely and we enjoyed the wildlife / birds. We were greeted by a resident kangaroo each day with a joey in her pouch. I think this will be a family favourite destination. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place Margie.

We had a wonderful experience at Duck Cottage and hope to return in Winter so we can make further use of the fireplace and music. We appreciated all the extra little treats that the cottage offers and regretted having to leave after only two nights. The road noise and dangerous entry are the only issues we had with the cottage. Motorists really fly past so maybe a sign further up the road telling that a hidden driveway is up ahead would make entering and leaving the cottage less stressful. The directions on how to get to, and into the cottage were perfect.

A lovely, cosy cottage located in beautiful countryside!

The place was beautifully presented.

Gary and Glenda are so helpful and friendly. The views are incredible. The home is very relaxing, I'm going to miss how quiet it is! Bed is SUPER comfortable. Gary and Glenda also provide some snorkelling gear which is a lovely touch. Their home is very welcoming and comfortable to stay in. Short walk to the beach is very handy and downstairs in the loungeroom there's a DVD player with some selection of movies, and if you would like a wider range there's a DVD rental store in Normanville. Overall, a lovely stay and I wish it was longer! Thank you!

What a gloriously wonderful stay!!! We were simply bowled over by Glenda and Garry's hospitality and their beautifully kept home and seriously awesome garden. With a view you have to see to believe and having the beach and jetty just minutes away, the only downside was leaving... Wishing I was relaxing by the balcony watching the sunset with a glass of wine now!

Glenda and Garry were very welcoming when we arrived at Second Valley. The house is great, with gorgeous views, and the location is superb. We loved our stay.

If you are looking for the ideal spot, try to book 3 G's with Glenda and Garry. They are the perfect host . 3G's is wonderfull House and with a perfect view. A couple of Kangarous are joining you when you fire up the BBQ in the evening. The garden is a must to see. We were speechless when we moved in. The service from Glenda and Garry is just perfect. Loved to stay there very much.

This place is a hidden gem with balcony views of the ocean and hills. Watched sunrise from our comfortable bedroom. Lovely large bathroom and a full equipped kitchen. This place is ideal for that quiet get away. Glen and Glenda are the perfect host.

Clean, modern and stylish accommodation, minutes walk from stunning coastline. The hosts were very welcoming, gorgeous facilities great beds and shower.

We enjoyed our time at The Light House. The house is located in a gorgeous part of the world. We loved the privacy and the peace and quiet. The hosts were kind enough to leave snorkelling gear and beach towels for our use as well as generally being helpful and considerate. I would highly recommend The Light House if you plan to stay in the Fleurieu Peninsula.

Liz was an amazing host, we were warmly welcomed on arrival with wine, cheese fresh figs and an assortment of jams and other produce. The location is fantastic for exploring the region and the level of comfort is out standing! All you could want in an ideal setting. The house is full of amazing art and lots of games, magazines, music, comfortable sitting areas and a great kitchen. The Master bed is superb, with a great ensuite to match. Liz went above and beyond of what you would expect from a host and catered for every need, thank you for your generosity!

The lodge was absolutely fantastic, the views, the sounds of all the animals around us, it was just an overall very pleasant holiday, being so close to things around the peninsula. Liz made us feel right at home, a truly kind hearted host.

Liz's place is a wonderful retreat from the city in a cool, green valley even in the height of summer. A really charming house with plenty of space to relax, comfortable beds and great kitchen. The pictures don't do it justice! Liz went out of her way to make us feel welcome, wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Liz was very welcoming and met us at the house to show us around. She provided a lovely spread of wine/cheese/figs on arrival, brought in produce from her garden that we could use, and also provided food for breakfast including croissants, local jam, salmon and eggs. She was most welcoming and given that she lives on the adjoining property, assured us that anything we needed was a mere text message away. The house is beautifully designed with all the comforts of home (plus some extras!). Well stocked book shelves, CD racks and a sprawling garden ensured we were never bored but always relaxed! The location is very idyllic; rolling hills, forest at the end of the road, and the coast just a short drive away. The feeling of being secluded without being too far away from amenities. Highly recommended, and we look forward to returning soon!

From the moment of arrival at Honeysuckle Lodge you feel welcomed and by Liz's generosity. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and luxuriously appointed, the living areas are roomy and comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked and inspires creative cuisine. The decks are lovely places to linger over a glass of vino and the gardens invite exploration. The location also has many nearby attractions including Raywood nursery, a secluded haven with shady bush tracks through lovely native woodlands and Rapid Bay, perfect for a refreshing afternoon swim. We'll be back...

We loved staying at Honeysuckle Lodge over the Christmas break. It is a beautiful, tranquil house filled with Liz's art and other treasures and located in a lovely, rural setting not far from some great beaches. We were warmly greeted by Liz on a hot Xmas eve. The house had been opened up and the fans were on and a special cold wine and cheese and fruit platter awaited us. The house is roomy with many windows looking out over the garden with its bird life and the odd kangaroo and many rabbits. Liz was very accommodating about allowing us to have our family and little grand-son come down to stay for a few nights and also welcomed our dog as well. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The bedrooms are large and each have a spacious ensuite. The kitchen, also, very well set up and convenient to use? We had our Normanville family over for a post Xmas celebration and there was plenty of room to do this in style at the long dining table and in the well set up sitting room. Honeysuckle Lodge is a delightful place and we would love to stay again. Highly recommended for those who enjoy lovely rural settings and convenient for exploring beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula.

We have just enjoyed the most relaxing and restful long weekend at Honeysuckle Lodge. The experience far exceeded our expectations. We were greeted by our wonderful hosts Liz & Tom who had made every effort to ensure our comfort.....open log fire lit & a sumptous home cooked dinner awaiting us! The furnishings & decor created an environment that we didnt want to leave. Our hosts were mindful of our privacy yet available if we needed. The gardens & verandah were gorgeous places to enjoy the sunshine & read a good book. We would thoroughly recommend spending time here. We have already booked our next stay!

Air Bnb at its best! What an fabulous experience staying at Honeysuckle Lodge- Liz was incredibly generous and welcoming.... the house was amazing- the art and interior design was gob smacking! We will definitely be back and next time plan for more time so we can enjoy the house and Liz's hospitality for longer:)

We had two young kids and enjoyed our stay over an Autumn weekend. Great location, good views and a relaxing vibe. It reminded me of holidays from my childhood. Plenty of space for larger families and groups.

Fabulous views, room to move and very well equipped- great new fridge!

Beautiful home, beautiful location. Will definitely be returning to the Blue Wren. Thank you for being a great host Sandra

Great stay

Highly recommended- wonderful quiet, comfortable place to stay.

Gael was very quick in responding to any enquiries i had with the booking. We loved the place, very nice and clean, couldn't have found anyplace better. Would love to book the place again one holiday. It's not that far away from where we need to go for the wedding event. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay in your place

The apartment suited us well, being two adults and two teenagers. The whole complex seemed very quiet and made the perfect base for our trips around the peninsula.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay, near to many sightseeing destinations , beautiful views

the location to the surrounding areas in perfect, equal distance from Normanville and Rapid Bay and it's quite a short, scenic drive. A very nice apartment to relax in and it's got a great natural surrounding that is quiet.

This is the best place to stay! We had such a great time and could not believe how quiet the apartment blocks were - we saw very few people while we were staying and that was really surprising, given the picturesque location, beautiful surroundings and facilities available. The apartment was just lovely - very clean, very comfortable and Gael made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay great - including maps of the area. She was great at keeping in contact. Everything was just perfect!

We loved the pool, the views and the serenity.

Great and spacious property with two very large toilets. Very clean and the fully equipped kitchen will go very well with any families. Great pool facilities also. Property is slightly far (10+ Kim's) from the nearest town therefore it would be practicable to have transportation on hand. My children's only complaint was there was no wifi included and the mobile 4G coverage was not strong. The saving grace was there were lots of DVD and board games to keep the children occupied at night.

Even though we met Kathryn and her partner for a little time, my husband and I can sure that they are warm-hearted hosts. I can't foget friendly their cats, cozy blankets, full of star - night sky on the hill, and Kathryn's caring texts. Her place is so near to Cape Jervis so very convenient to travel to Kangaroo Island.

Lovely part of South Australia and a fun place to stay! A good base from which to explore the Peninsula. By the time we'd had several communications with Kathryn, we felt as if we knew her and that continued after our arrival as we had so much in common. Kathryn and Geoff were warm and welcoming and we shared two evenings together. Thanks so much, both of you - and for the birthday present! Hope to see you in the west some day. Cheers, Sandy and Barry

" Firstly thanks to Katherine and Geoff to play a perfect host and make our trip a memorable one. Now on the house and the place. The place is picture perfect and you can gaze the sea from the backyard in day time or watch the milky way in the night and chat endlessly with the beautiful host for any thing under the sun. They have their veggie spot and we were lucky to get some mulberries, picked with love and care by Geoff and Kat. Geoff is a wonderful cook i must say and was pretty generous to invite us over dinner. We had endless talks and good food. Mind you this is not a 5 star hotel spot but the place is quite neat and clean and all the necesarry stuff has been provided by owners. Yes this is an off beat locations and would appeal to nature lovers and peace seekers alike. The host are very charming and are always happy to help with a huge smile. There is only one bad part which is leaving the place at the end of the stay with a craving for more. Love you guys and would be sure to come back some day." Gaurav, Kanchan and Jaydeep

This was exactly the break we needed! After living in the UK for 12 months we were looking for a short get away to get some of the Aussie bush back into our bones, and Sandra's place didn't disappoint!! Located just outside Deep Creek NP, but on a beautifully maintained private plot of land, our stay was so relaxing - waking up to bird song and kangaroos in the distance. It was the perfect combination of luxurious comfort, and rustic bush charm. Id recommend it to everyone!

My partner & I were looking for a quiet, relaxing weekend getaway when we came across Sandra's Retreat and it absolutely delivered! Sandra made everything a breeze for us and was super lovely to liaise with. The property is breathtaking, with beautiful surroundings and no other sounds than the birds chirping and the cows mooing. Absolute bliss! The only downfall was we wish we stayed longer!

Had a great time in a wonderful spacious apartment, great views, peaceful location, pool was excellent, good value

It was great to have contact from the start which made us feel very welcome and Con and his mum meeting us was nice. Especially because we arrived in the night.

We liaised with Nicole's dad, picked up the key in Adelaide city, had a great 2 nights stay at the apartment, then returned the key in Adelaide city again. It's a nice place, just 25 mins drive from Cape Jervis. The house is big with 3 rooms, nice kitchen, living room and balconies. You can see lake, sea and golf course. Views are amazing and surroundings are peaceful & quiet. We enjoyed kangaroos spotting from the balcony everyday. Thanks for letting us stay at this nice place!!

Amazing and spacious apartment with stunning views of the ocean, rolling hills and the golf course. Clean and tidy apartment with everything you would need to be self sufficient. Would highly recommend this place and I will definitely be returning in the future

Thanks for a lovely stay

We loved our stay at The Schoolmasters. The property is I'd close to the beach with the feel of a grand country house. It's tastefully decorated and well appointed for an extended break. The kids loved the bunk bed room! We loved how relaxed we felt after a couple of days. Highly recommended.

We loved everything about our 5 night stay at The Schoolmasters House - the great big (and fully equipped) eat-in kitchen; the comfortable and beautifully styled bedrooms and lounge room; the clean, modern bathroom; the expansive, sun-drenched deck and surrounding gardens and of course the local beach and landscape! I couldn't recommend the house and area more highly and look forward to returning one day soon.

Another wonderful stay at The Schoolmaster's. Peace and quiet, sitting around the fireplace in the evenings, comfortable beds, and beautiful sunsets. Very relaxing, wonderful place for a writing reatreat.

Great escape from everyday life. Good view of the hills and a relaxing place to be. The beach is less than a 5 minute drive away from the property.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful weekend away at Victoria's beautiful cottage! We enjoyed a glass of red in the secret garden with sea views, and relaxing on the deck was perfect. Victoria was very helpful in providing us with all the information we needed. Highly recommend!

Victoria our host was in regular contact with us. The house was exactly as it was described and it had all that we needed provided for us. The house is perfect for time away - it is stocked with many dvd's and books to read. Beds really comfortable. Beautifully decorated and very homely. the kitchen was furnished in old style but equipped with all the mod cons. I would recommend this stay to any others.

Victoria was a wonderful host, and very kind in providing us with lots of information to ensure we had a terrific stay. The house is delightful, very low key and a beautifully relaxing and welcoming vibe. Second Valley is a favourite destination for us and we would love to stay again if opportunity allows.

What a great place for a vacation, very classy accommodation, as describe on the listing. Jim was very flexible given a very short notice and kind enough to accept our request. Will definitely recommend and go back if given the chance.

I had a very relaxing week staying at seaview wirrina. Jim Had left a lovely platter of local cheeses and produce in the fridge, with a bottle of bubbles and a welcome note in the fridge - which was such a nice touch! The room views are excellent, and there is also a swimming pool in the complex that we had access to - which was great because there is no beach within walking distance. The apartment is conveniently located between Normanville (for shops) and Second Valley - so there are no shortage of beaches nearby to hop in the car and explore. The apartment was exceptionally clean - more like a hotel. And Jim was very easy to communicate with.

We really enjoyed Jim's place. It was super functional, impeccably clean, modern and comfortable. While not too much within walking distance of the Villa, we enjoyed the short, scenic drives to nearby beaches and the wine region. Jim was very responsive and immediately helped us out when we were in a jam.

We stayed 10 nights at this great place. The flate had all we needed and had lots of room for 2 adults and 3 children. The kids had a great time in the fantastic pool, going to the beach nearby and fishing. Shopping is closeby and it is really a nice place to lean back and relax. We can truely recoomend this flat and the communication with Jim was quick and easy. We would come back for sure!

Jim was great and the place was just as great

Jim was very accommodating,given the short notice, but we had a pleasant stay,convenient location, with room and views that exceed expectation. We would not hesitate to stay at his place again.

Quiet, relaxing, and great if you want if you want to get off the grid.

We had a wonderful stay at George's farm house. The communication with George was timely and he was easily accessible by phone. We had a lot of fun feeding the animals, the alpacas were particularly beautiful. The house is located close to Cape Jarvis where we went to watch the sunset. The quiet location at night provided a spectacular view of the stars. House was very comfortable and can accommodate large groups. Well equipped kitchen. And the firewood heater also added to the unique experience. It was a fun way to celebrate our son's first birthday! Thanks again!

We had a lovely two days away with no phone reception, right in the heart of Deep Creek Conservation Park. This fully wheelchair accessible luxury cottage had everything you could want and more, with continental breakfast provided, and a kitchen stocked with kitchenware and appliances. We spent our time cooking hearty country meals, exploring the park, drinking wine and reading in front of the beautiful wood fire. Wish we could have stayed longer! Highly, highly recommend!

Architecturally designed house right inside Deep Creek Conservation Park with huge windows out to grass trees and eucalypts. Everything you need is provided, including a stereo, books, maps, full kitchen, linen and firewood. Well furnished with comfy beds. A Parks Pass is provided so you can explore the park by car and access the many spectacular walks on offer. Communication was prompt and comprehensive.

Troy kept in contact and answered any questions we had immediately. The fire all set up and ready to go was a lovely surprise and made us feel very welcome. The views are amazing, and it was wonderful to find the pair of binoculars ready to use so we could look at the K.I. Ferry and fishing boats. My son loved playing with the toy cars, and we adults loved the stereo system and books/magazines. It was very comfortable and relaxing, I would love to return and stay again.

Troy was an excellent host and was super friendly and prompt in his communication. His house has a rustic feel and is in a stunning location with spectacular views. Cape Jarvis is a sleepy place; a great place to unwind before going to Kangaroo Island. Thanks again Troy.

Great beach shack to explore the southern peninsula particularly Deep-Creek Conservation Park.

What a great spot. Sitting out on the front porch and watching the ocean! Great house and Troy's communication was impeccable!!

Cape jervis is a very quiet and nice town, if you want to get away and relax this is the place for you. Troys house was good for the price but could use a little more maintenance, overall we enjoyed our stay.

We (a family of 4) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Troy was an excellent and accommodating host. The house was clean, comfortable and equipped with all the basics. The view across to kangaroo Island from the lounge is a highlight. I thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a place to chill out and relax. Thanks Troy!

Troy was an excellent host and ensured we had a pantry available to us and access to a BBQ. He maintained contact with us and access to the property was very easy. The view from the front window included kangaroo island which made our stay very pleasant. Although the property is dated, all amenities were clean and functional

The house is exactly like the pictures. It was very clean and comfortable. Troy was a great host. Stayed in communication throughout the stay and was available to answer all questions.
