Best Location for best budget

It is difficult to find affordable accommodation anywhere on Kangaroo Island, if you are on a budget this house could be the one for you. In the heart of Kingscote, 5 minutes walk from the main street, 10 minutes to the supermarket and 10 minutes to the beach and tidal pool, you can not fault the location. You will be perfectly placed to access all that Kangaroo Island has to offer such as day trips or lazing on the beach. This house does not proclaim to be glamorous or a sprawling palace but it is adequate for a 6 person stay. Neat, tidy and compact, three bedrooms with comfortable double beds, an eat in kitchen with a table that seats 6 and a cozy lounge with two very comfortable rocking lounge chairs and a 2/5 seater. The shower was excellent with plenty of hot water and pressure. There is a separate loo. A very good washing machine (no dryer), an excellent air/con heater and the TV works well (only free to air) You will find this house more than covers the basics Cupboards are well stocked with all manner of kitchenware, condiments and some convenience foods to help you settle in. There is a comfortable undercover seating area in the fenced back yard and loads of birds darting from fence to trees. You will love the "smart lock" front door which the owner coded to a number of our choosing. The owner is also delightful to deal with. We had a great stay. You won't like: No Wi-Fi / Only one BthRm and toilet not 2. Owner may have updated this info on the site.

Great getaway

Great location. The house had everything we needed. Plenty of space for a couple of families to be comfortable. Loved being able to walk to the town centre, playground and jetty.
