Good facilities in a well-presented cottage

Haven Cottage is a lovely cottage located on the main road into Kingscote. The cottage was spacious (especially for a couple) and well-presented. The kitchen is well-equipped. The bed was comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

Excellent Cottage for Family

Haven Cottage is less than an hour drive from Penneshaw and is located at Kingscote. It is on the main road but not much traffic can be heard. The great thing about this property is that it is near the shops and restaurants. This is an ideal property to stay in and be a base for traveling around Kangaroo Island. The gas stove is a great asset as it makes cooking a breeze. There are two fresh seafood shops you can visit within walking distance of this property and they sell fresh seafood - hence, having a well maintained kitchen is an excellent advantage. The garden is amazing and very well maintained (tip: for the culinary enthusiast, there is a herb pot at the back patio - use it for your freshly bought fish and seafood). The rooms are beautifully presented. My daughter specially loved the bedroom on the right, the windows of which opens up to a rose bush and the garden outside. Overall, this is an excellent property to stay in at KI because of its location, features and presentation.

Do not understand the exceptionnal review

clean and compact house with English style garden. On the main road so really noisy how can we take advantage of the garden? Mattress really uncomfortable impossible to sleep beside someone else unless rolling in the middle... Appliance in the kitchen are old and pan and casseroles need to be changed just the minimum for cooking .. Dinning chairs really uncomfortable Lights in the living room really uncomfortable at nights so well alright for three nights but not a full week

Charming house, immaculately kept.

We stayed in this charming little cottage for 2 days. Extremely well kept, tidy and clean. The gardens were just delightful to walk around - not a blade of grass out of place..... The cottage is well located within walking distance to the heart of Kingscote. The kitchen is equipped with just about everything that one could possibly want for cooking within. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Haven Cottage. Comfortable, spotlessly clean, everything you could wish for in self-contained accommodation. Very nice outdoor area and beautiful garden. Only one regret: we weren't there at the right time to see the roses in bloom!

Home away from home

Absolutely wonderful place to stay on Kangaroo Island. Close to everything and the cottage was very spacious for 2 adults and 3 kids. Kitchen had everything we needed and the whole place was very clean. Such a beautiful garden, only wished we could stay longer to enjoy it more. Just too busy exploring the island on our 4 night stay at KI.

Nice house

This is a nice little house. It is one a main road and it was very noisy with cars going back and forth so be prepared to be woken up at 6am. Also if you are tall beware of the shelf in the bathroom it is right at eye level. The double bed in the bedroom on the right is very squeaky and wobbly so not pleasant at all to sleep in. The house was clean and has a lovely outdoor area
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Mar 2020
Dear Sarah Thank you for taking the time to post a review on your stay at Haven Cottage and for letting us know about some of the issues you found during your stay. We have now fixed the queen bed in bedroom 1 and will take a look at the shelf in the bathroom. I will note the person who put the shelf up is 6'4 and up until now there has been no issue with it. We are sorry you were woken up at 6am by traffic, Kingscote is a small town and we have had no complaints about the cottage's location. Thanks again, Lucinda & Mark

Excellent cottage

The cottage is well set up and offered good facilities as well as close proximity to the township. The garden is a delight, fully fenced and ideal for small children or that quiet get away.
