Island Beach delight

Our group of four (60) travellers had a wonderful time at Lantauanan. The view is spectacular and the house is exceptionally well set out with a range of thoughtful additions such as spices and sauces. The location was ideal for heading off to remote areas or going to Kingscote or Penneshaw. A great place to stay.

Driveway

Nice homely house to stay in. However driveway is in an atrocious condition - a conventional car would be unable to go up it as full of potholes. Main bedroom mattress is very hard.

Stunning views and very comfortable, pet friendly

The views from this property are just stunning, and it is a very short walk ( a few hundred metres at most) to Island Beach, which is beautiful and long for great walks and never busy, so just super relaxing. The property is comfortable, well stocked with appliances etc and exactly what was presented. The property owner was extremely helpful and provided information well ahead of time so we had no anxiety about how check in etc would work, and very responsive. Also a great property if you have a fur baby you want to take with you - not fenced, but the verandah is and goes around the house, so a good bit of outdoor space. Kangaroos and wallabies are everywhere! I love Island Beach and this property is very cost effective and did not disappoint. I'll be back again!

Panoramic

Views to the left the right, front and back. Windows and full decking allow you to just sit and drift away. Placed highest on the peak, you can see for ages.Clean functional and fully equipt. Loved our stay. Enjoyed the deck night visits from the possums. Several bird species also got curious. Even some roaming chickens down below. A walk down the road will get you to the beach. Recommend

Great relaxed shack

Happy and relaxed beach shack. Location is really great, easy walk to the beach in wet bathers. Excellent deck. Comfortable. Unusual smell in the second bedroom, no recycling bin, and a couple of electrical outlets missing covers (wires exposed). Split system didn’t work for us but overall a great beach house for a relaxed vacation. Hosts were very responsive and easy, great communication.
