About this property
The Rusty Kangaroo 2
The Rusty Kangaroo
Kangaroo Island is famous for it's natural rural beauty. Create a memory at this unique premium rural retreat for two. Spectacular sunsets, ocean views across the bay and an abundance of wildlife. The property is 100 acres of native wilderness and is ecofriendly, it relies on rain water and septic, so conservation of resources is important.
Easy access, 300 mt in from the main island road.
It is the perfect combination of comfort and design.
Relax, rejuvenate, renew and enjoy.
The space
The Rusty Kangaroo property is uniquely positioned for privacy and tranquillity, only 6.4km from Penneshaw, a pristine beach side town with a restaurant, pub, pizza bar, cafes, wineries, supermarket, post office, chemist, petrol station, and the ferry service.
(Our story)
The evolution of the Rusty Kangaroo
As a couple, we have travelled the world and seen many beautiful places and beaches.
We decided on a family holiday to KI on a whim. That was 20 years ago
Within 4 days we bought a property of 100 acres of native wilderness …. and we are not spontaneous people.
We fell in love with the tranquillity, the wildlife and the pristine beaches.
And what is even crazier… we bought the old Pennshaw dump!
People today often comment that it is one of the best views on the island.
We have turned a lemon into a lemonade.
Oh, by the way, the dump is long gone!
We have personally built our home from the ground up with many years of blood, sweat and tears. Our goal was to build our home with as much up-cycled material as possible that is nothing like suburbia. This was our contribution to the environment in having a low carbon footprint.
Guest access
Our ethos is to meet and greet you. The property is easliy accessed with private entrance and parking available.
We look forward to meeting you.
Other things to note
The accommodation has been built with consideration of the milder climate through out the year.
Spacious outdoor patio area to relax and enjoy the bay view, the sunsets and nature with a glass of wine.
