Peaceful stay on Kangaroo Island

We spent 5 days touring Kangaroo Island. Pelican Lodge provided a home base for cooking meals, beautiful sunrises, plentiful song and marine birds, wallobees in the garden, a quiet place to sleep, dark start-filled skies. The location worked well for us. This is a country cottage but well equipped and solid Wi-fi.
