Peaceful spot for Kangeroo Island experience

Our party of 9 enjoyed a well earned 4 day stay at Middle River Guest House. The views alone were worth the trip. The lay out of the house suited us perfectly - heaps of space and everything supplied to make our stay easy. Highly recommended,For improvement - some wardrobe space to hang clothing would be great and coverings at main windows to keep out the afternoon sun.

Aside from a blackout for the entire laast night even

We had a great time m. That said after a large investment in our time in the island and handin the homes back,one of the kids accidentally still attached the lining of the bin itself when disposing of rubbish. Due to no flexibility on departure time we had to do much of the work in the dark and cold. Great place though.

Great Family Getaway

This was a great place to stay with family, particularly if there are ones you want to be close to but not that close as there are two separate houses that connect. the houses suited us well and had everything we needed for a short stay. Snellings Beach was beautiful, would love to come back in warmer weather to take advantage of the beach and river.

Great houses, fabulous views.

Very spacious, clean, well equipped houses with everything you need. Great views, an easy walk to the beach and river and centrally located for exploring all the Island’s attractions. Perfect for our group of 5 couples (60+). Melanie is a wonderful host, always making sure we had everything we need.

About the host

Hosted by Mel Moffatt / Tim Moffatt

I grew up on Kangaroo Island 25 minutes from Middle River on a sheep and cattle farm and met my husband Tim at high school in Adelaide who happened to spend family holidays at Middle River when he was a child. They married at The Cliff House at Snellings Beach in 2010 and now have 3 children based in Adelaide. We love spending time now at Middle River as much as we can with our own young family.
