Paul, Katja and Poppy made us welcome from the moment we arrived, and the experience was more than we expected. The cabin we stayed in had spectacular views and an abundance of wildlife visiting us at the cabin. A great experience. Highly recommend anyone to book a few days if you want to get away, experience nature, relax and enjoy the surroundings, including a beach cove. Its also a great place to access all attractions on the island or if you want to just have a spot to stay and relax. We will definitely be coming back. Rob & Cindy A

Stokes Bay, and thus the cabins, is isolated. Situated on the cliff face, looking north, one is surrounded by silence and peace, mixed with dozens of kangaroos and even some sheep. Nearby is the only restaurant, sadly open only till 5 pm; so bring your own food or consider a drive to Kingcote (sadly with roo-danger for the nightly return. We stayed three nights to have a holiday… make daytime excursions and enjoy evenings at the cabin. Highly recommended, but not if you expect action!

What a great little hideaway from reality! The nature and surrounds were just incredible. Great little cottage although our stove and oven didn't work well or at all on some occasions, and this proved a little difficult as there are no surrounding cafes or restaurants. I completely understand its been a tough few years for all though. We would definitely return. Many thanks Katja and Paul, you are wonderful hosts.

Da es sich hier um ein Ferienhaus handelt und nicht um ein Hotel, sollte man keine zu großen Ansprüche an ein Frühstück stellen. Allerdings waren die wichtigsten Dinge, wie z.B. Zucker, Salz, weitere Gewürze, Tee, Kaffee und und und vorhanden. Somit sind wir, mit unseren vorher getätigten Einkäufen sehr gut zurecht gekommen. Töpfe, Geschirr, Besteck, Kühlschrank, Herd, Mikrowelle, alles vorhanden! Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern war sehr freundlich und verdient eine volle Punktzahl. Da die Anlage ziemlich außerhalb ist, war es sehr ruhig und die vorhandene Tierwelt war reichhaltig und sehr angenehm. Ein absolutes Highlight sind die vor Ort lebenden Tiere, welche anscheinend an Menschen gewöhnt sind, Somit ist eine Fütterung der Tiere "mit Futter von dem Betreiber" auch kein Problem. Die Tiere sind sehr Neugierig und kommen tatsächlich bis auf ein paar Zentimeter an die Menschen vor Ort. Es war einfach traumhaft, leider nur viel zu kurz! Bei der Strasse sollte man auf ein geeignetes Kraftfahrzeug achten und seine Geschwindigkeit anpassen. Ferner ein kleiner Hinweiß, wenn Ihr mit dem Kraftfahrzeug anreisen wollt, beachtet das Kleingedruckte von den Vermietstationen, manche verbieten die Reise nach Kangoroo Island.

What a stunning experience! I loved waking up to so many kangaroos and dragonflies each morning, walking down to the beach and having a coffee at the rockpool cafe. Paul & Katja were great hosts and the self contained unit was just perfect for our needs. I would definitely recommend!

We liked it very much for the location n wanted to give 5 star as everything was so ready/provided. But 2 issues I have to mention, the toilet lock was not working/ in useable and the windows blinds- all are broken . The towels are very old too, Need to change ASAP. And the second issue was the smell from the swears. We stayed at number 7 and the bio swear system is just 30 metres away… every evening probably all the units using the shower and toilet then the smell comes out. Please don’t stay at number 7. Other than that all the cutleries, pots , pans , plate , glass everything is Perfect. Giving 3 out of 5 but we Will come here again.

Excellent emplacement au milieu des kangourous

Excellent emplacement pour cette hôtel au bord d’une falaise sur la mer et entourée de kangourous. Bungalows spacieux de trois chambres et un salon cuisine. Les enfants notamment ont adoré pouvoir nourrir les kangourous. Accueil sympathique avec œufs,miel et chocolat. Pas de wi fi mais réception réseau portable.
