    Small detail, but the key lock was a bit unreliable. We thought we might be locked out a couple of times. However, it worked eventually each time.

    Very comfortable house. Well appointed, with everything we needed for our stay. The back deck was amazing, practically an extra room. Wi-fi was reliable, and several pay TV sites were available on the television. Undercover parking. Located opposite the beach, with great walks close by. Christine was particularly helpful when our departure was threatened by a possible ferry strike.

    A quiet location but only a few minutes drive into Kingscote but we found easy travelling to other areas of the island. We found the spacious property clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed which was lovely. We enjoyed the local bird life and even saw a koala! Good communication with the owner. We would definitely recommend and stay again on a KI visit.

    We would have like a top sheet instead of a doona.

    The house was really well equipped. It had everything you needed. A home away from home. Very quiet, lots of bird life, path across to the beach. A resident koala in the front yard. Wonderful spot.

    Comfortable property, convenient location, but, disappointingly, far from beach, no dogs inside.

    It was advertised as 'tranquil beachfront', so we had envisioned lazy days on the veranda looking at the sea. However, the beach is some 200 metres (app) away, with a stretch of scrub running between the beach and The Parade, so the sea is only a small glimpse between trees. We had booked it because it said 'pets allowed' and paid a bond to cover that, but when we arrived there was a sign on the back door saying dogs not allowed inside. As we have an old, well behaved dog we were disappointed she could not come inside as she does usually, and had we known, we would definitely not have booked it. Also, the kitchen could have been cleaner, the bench top was not clean and there was an open pan full of old, dirty grease in the pantry.

    It was one of the best equipped properties we have stayed at and was spacious and roomy. The location was convenient to Kingscote and KI attractions. There was a huge back patio, and as the weather was not good, we appreciated the supply of firewood for the lounge.. Initial communication was very good and helpful, although after our stay it did take quite a while to get our pet bond refunded.

    The QS bed and lounge chairs were very low (off the floor) making them very difficult to get out of and the chairs cushions have collapsed somewhat. Both of these aspects detracted from the comfort and have both been noted in the visitor's book by previous guests.

    The location was great, close enough to Kingscote for meals and other supplies. A very quiet spot on a no thru road almost adjacent to the waterfront. The rear deck area is well appointed and the front porch has great views for relaxing. The house had all of the things we needed in it.

    Bed linen and equipment were spotless. However needed a good dust e.g bathroom ledges around the tiles and skirting boards were thick with dust, bedroom furniture with ledges and skirting boards also thick with dust. Bbq needed cleaning. We saw mice inside. Needs some mouse bait.

    lovely location. well equipped and comfortable. a very nice place to stay. Fabulous outdoor area.
