    Nothing, This place was truly the perfect place to stay.

    I just loved the whole vibe the place gave. From the moment we arrived and walked in it felt like the perfect get away home. So cosy. I strongly would recommend this for anyone who is coming to visit Kangaroo island you will not be disappointed I can promise you that much! Thank you Brett I will be sure to book this place again when I come back to KI

    Difficult to find the cottage. Address is Samphire Road but easier to enter from Burdon Road down a unsealed dirt road. The blue signage 'Brett's Rest' should have the reflector as we had difficulties finding the blue signage in the dark, returning from dinner.

    It's a nice comfortable cottage with quiet surroundings.

    Brett has done an amazing job but it just lacks some small touches - hand towel in the bathroom & kitchen; 2 bath towels per person, a box of tissues & a new loo brush (not metal).

    The location; close proximity to Kingscote. The double glazing made it toasty warm. All the streaming services you could need. Clean & tidy. Brett very friendly & accommodating.

    It was a beautiful warm cabin set in a field with wild echidna’s and birds. The facilities were perfect for a 3 night stay with enough equipment to cook meals. The bed and pull out couch were both comfortable. The dog (Chase) is very sweet and Brett offered to assist us anyway we needed and was very helpful. It was a very short drive (or medium long walk) into town and perfect for exploring the island.

    Brett met us on arrival (along with his friendly dog, Chase!) and explained the facilities and cabin in great detail. He made sure we were comfortable at all times but never intruded on our privacy. The location is close to Kingscote and handy to main roads for adventures, but also private enough for peace.

    Serene and peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle but not too far from restaurants , shops and the beach. Brett the host was very approachable and communicated prior arrival with great instructions on how to locate the property as google maps was not an option. Accommodation was clean and comfortable. Our small pooch loved the porch area which Brett enclosed for us with lattice. Loved sitting on the porch with a wine in hand absorbing the tranquility and serenity setting around us. Highly recommend.

    All was perfect 👌

    We like the location that is quite peaceful and very comfortable, we got everything that we needed to have a lovely stay and Brett was always very nice and willing to help us in anything too. Kangaroo Island is a beautiful place, the accommodation is very close to kingscote town so was easy to go to do shopping, get fuel, go to the beach and go to restaurants. At night we could see the stars, and the milkyway in the sky that was so stunning.

    Nothing not to like

    Brett was fantastic to deal with before and during our stay. Comfortable cabin to stay in with plenty of space to move inside. Definitely recommend to couples or even families. Resident Dog Chase is a friendly dog who liked to visit and play fetch with you.

In an excellent location, easy to get to cafes/restaurants in Kingscote and also to all the beautiful places around Kangaroo Island.

    There was truly nothing that we didn't like whilst staying at the cabin.

    The cabin was a country homey feel, loved they layout of the building and the beautiful land around. The owner Brett was very welcoming and ensured that we had everything we needed and went above and beyond when we did need something.

    Nothing, we loved it. Location, just the BEST, being a short drive away from Kingscote and the local brewery too. We explored the so much of the island from there, and with local knowledge provided by Brett and the local information booklet he'd left out, we were able to cover all the things we wanted to in the week we were there.

    We were delighted and very happy with the accommodation, our host Brett, his lovely dog Chase, who was very respectful at all times and we loved the location. It was quiet, comfortable, with ripper internet!!! It was very clean and we respected that by taking our shoes off at the door. We will be back if at all possible. I really enjoyed hearing the birds morning and evening. Bush curlews, magpies and galahs were featured. The neighbours had ducks, chooks and guinea-fowl which made a lovely bucolic atmosphere. There was a short walk to the local beach too. Not for swimming though, but a nice walk nonetheless.

    We had a little trouble trying to latch the windows. But we should've paid more attention to Brett's demo 😉

    Brett was such a great host, very welcoming and friendly. The cabin was so cute, clean and perfect for our little getaway. The Cabin is conveniently located in Brownlow and offers plenty of privacy. We really enjoyed eating breakfast on the verandah. It was the perfect base being so very close to Kingscote and it's amenities.

    Would have liked a dining table and chairs . Too chilly to sit on outdoor dining setting.

    The cottage was located out of town in a very peaceful and natural setting. Host was helpful and communication prior to arrival was appreciated. Bathroom was very spacious and water hot.
