About this property

Island Chalet on Kangaroo Island

A spacious 3 bedroom house in a bush setting with complete privacy, just a 2 minute walk form the beach. The cottage is architect-designed with a cathedral ceiling and open plan living room. Two large queen-size bedrooms open onto the garden. Upstairs is an attic/loft bedroom. There is free wifi (NBN), a library, satellite TV and board games.

The cottage is set in a large bush garden with grassy area perfect for kids to play and a setting for eating outside. There is a gas barbecue. Blue wrens, red-browed finches and other birds are constant visitors to the garden. For this reason, although our accommodation is dog-friendly, we do not welcome cats.

Only 2 minute's walk away, across a park is the beach. It is calm and safe for small children to play and beautiful to take long walks along each morning.

On the edge of the beach, a path for walking or cycling surrounded by native bush, follows the coast around, leading 3 km into Kingscote where you can get good coffee and breakfast /lunch, one block up from the beach. On the way you pass the sailing club which has a great beach for swimming. A little further on you come to a park with a tidal pool, lawn and picnic areas. This is a great place for the whole familly to swim. Alternative you can fish for whiting and tommy ruffs from the rocks at the out edge.

Fishing is also great from the Kingscote jetty . You can get bait from the hardware shop, one block up from the beach.

Down the road from the cottage is the Kingscote Golf Course. You can get picked up from the cottage or Kingscote for all of the tours to the southern beaches, Flinders Chase and other attractions

Island Chalet is great for the perfect family holiday on Kangaroo Island!

Lovely stay on Kangaroo Island
The property had everything you needed for a comfortable stay even a resident Koala in the garden. Good location for exploring the island. One criticism would be that the trees need cutting back on the driveway as quite difficult to get in and out.

Great value in a convenient location
We absolutely loved our stay, the house is super clean and very well set up with all the basics you might need in the kitchen. It worked well for our family of five and I would definitely stay here again.
