Clean and relaxing

Beautiful, private space with easy access to Vivonne Bay. Clean and well-appointed kitchen. Plenty of games and puzzles if indoor activities are in the cards! Good communication by the owner, who graciously helped me with a timing issue.

relaxing home away from home

Ros' place is a perfect place to stay for people who are interested in a quiet, relaxing, non touristy area, and don't care about the latest mod cons. It is comfy, had everything we needed, and we felt as if we were in our own family holiday house, rather than in a commercial rented space.

A perfect location for exploring the island

Located in a pretty secluded place with a nice river just 1 min walk and a 3 min drive to the ocean beach. Relatively the same distance drives to the most points of interest on the island. A nice and well-stacked rustic cottage - has mostly everything you would need for a comfy stay. I have not located the one, so suggest to add some Spray n' Wipe Multi-Purpose Surface Spray Disinfectant to the kitchen 'must haves'. Otherwise - beautiful experience.

About the host

Hosted by Ros Brady

After a holiday to Kangaroo Island we decided to purchase this house at Vivonne Bay so we can visit and are able to share the wonders of Kangaroo Island with others.

Why they chose this property

With a large living area, three bedrooms and a beautiful front deck Kangastay makes a great family/friends holiday house and the location is perfect for visits to major tourist places as well as enjoying the river and beach. Very relaxing.
