We had a wonderful stay during our recent trip to Kangaroo Island. The house was lovely, the view was absolutely amazing, and the peaceful surroundings made the whole experience even better. Everything went very smoothly, and the place had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Would happily stay here again!

My family of 10 rented both wings for 4 nights. The house is stunning and everything ran smoothly. Melanie was a great communicator and I would not hesitate to recommend the house to anyone wanting a wonderful stay on KI.

Brilliant house for families. The two wings meant we could have our family of different generations staying comfortably together. The views from the house are superb as is the stunning natural location. Walking finance to the Fig Tree restaurant and beach, or a very short drive.

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.
