About this property

Secluded Coastal Retreat | 107 Acres + 7km Beach

Wake to wallabies at the tree line, then walk from the house through native bush to 7 km of secluded sandy beach — just 200 metres from your door.

Welcome to Clearwater Haven.

This peaceful, fully self-contained holiday house is made for slowing down. There is space to explore, wildlife to watch, a stretch of Nepean Bay to discover, and a large deck where you can simply sit back and enjoy it.

Clearwater Haven provides 107 acres of private Kangaroo Island to explore, then follow the bush track 200 metres to 7km of quiet coastline to wander at your own pace.  Native birds are plentiful in the morning, kangaroos and wallabies often graze nearby, while echidnas may make an appearance. At the end of the day, return from exploring the island to fire up the BBQ.

**The house**

Built in 2011, Clearwater Haven is a light-filled, open-plan home comfortably sleeping up to 6 adults and 2 infants across three bedrooms, including 2 queen beds, 2 single beds and 2 cots.

The layout works particularly well for a family, a group of friends or couples.

Luxury Sheridan linen, bath towels and beach towels are provided. All bedrooms have blackout blinds and curtains for peaceful country sleeps. Cot linen is available on request.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a full oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, crockery and cooking essentials. Complimentary tea, coffee and milk are provided.

Short or long stays are easy with a washing machine, laundry and dishwashing detergents, hand and body soap and other everyday essentials.

The split bathroom has a shower, full-sized bath, toilet and vanity in separate spaces, which is particularly practical for families and groups.

**Your beach is just 200 metres away**

Follow the track through native vegetation and, just 200 metres from the front door, you'll reach a beautiful sandy beach on Nepean Bay.

It's a wonderful place for swimming, kayaking, fishing, boating, beachcombing and long walks along the sand.

The calm waters are suitable for swimming year-round. At low tide, shallow pools form along parts of the beach--perfect for younger children.

Bring a fishing rod and try your luck from the beach, or bring a small boat. A Council-maintained boat launch is approximately 1km from the property. 

**Made for families**

Arrive with the kids — not the kitchen sink.  Two cots, highchair, baby baths, children's dishes, nightlight, books, toys, beach towels, blackout blinds and a washing machine are already here.

There's plenty of space for children to explore, from the 107-acre property and native bushland to the beach just 200 metres from the house.

**Wildlife on your doorstep**

For wildlife lovers, photographers and anyone who enjoys being outdoors, the 107-acre property includes 30 acres of native bushland, with mature gum trees, native grass trees, as well as open countryside.

Kangaroos and wallabies are frequent visitors. Echidnas and abundant native birdlife can also be seen.  In winter and spring, you may have the opportunity to see sheep graze the paddocks.

**Slow down on the deck**

Not every day needs an itinerary.

The large entertainment deck is a natural gathering place for morning coffee, long lunches, and sunset drinks. Fire up the barbecue for dinner or cook the day's catch while enjoying the surrounding bush and wildlife.

After sunset, head inside where you can connect your favourite tunes to the Bluetooth stereo or cast your own movies to the smart TV.  You'll also find books, board games and movies, as well as a comfortable writing desk with a fully adjustable chair.

For a true Island experience, pick up a bottle from one of Kangaroo Island's local wineries and settle in for the evening.

**Explore Kangaroo Island — or don't**

Clearwater Haven makes a peaceful base for exploring Kangaroo Island's natural attractions, including the Remarkable Rocks and Seal Bay.

Approximate driving times:

-Kingscote — 20 minutes

-Kingscote Airport — 20 minutes

-American River — 15 minutes

-Penneshaw ferry — 45 minutes



After a day exploring the island, return to your own 107 acres and the quiet of the property.  Or stay home — explore the bush, walk to the beach, watch the wildlife and enjoy the deck.

**Off-grid and eco-friendly**

Clearwater Haven is an eco-friendly, off-grid home powered by ample solar power with rainwater supply.  It's cosy and comfortable in cooler weather, with heating and faux fur blankets.  

Mobile network coverage is available, although Vodafone coverage on Kangaroo Island is limited.

Access to the property includes an unsealed road, but a standard car is suitable for island travel.

**Guest access**



Guests have access to the full 107 acres of the property and easy access to the beautiful beach only 200 meters from the doorstep. There is plenty of parking with space for a boat or trailer.

Thank you for our wonderful stay! The cottage is beautiful and very well equipped. It stayed cool inside despite extreme temperatures outside and we all slept very well. Wildlife all around, beautiful to watch the wallabies cross the garden. And the beach, which we had mostly for ourselves, is just stunning! We will definitely be back. Thank you!

Joy is having the beach at the end of your driveway and local oysters a short drive away!

Our family had a wonderful time here, not just enjoying the island but all Clearwater had to offer, a beach you can walk to, a deck for star gazing & bushy surrounds you can explore. Thank you for a wonderful stay- we hope to be back again some day :)

Lovely Stay

Great house in a bush setting. We enjoyed being a short drive away from Kingscote but still feeling like we were immersed in nature. Quick stroll from a beautiful beach. House was well set up to cook meals and relax in after exploring the island. Thanks for a great stay Ori!

Relaxing getaway

Our family had an amazing stay at Clearwater Haven. The property was clean and well equipped, and the location is spectacular! Just a short walk to a beautiful clear beach perfect for kids. The short nature walk within the property was also very enjoyable. Communication with Ori was great, and her tips for things to do was very helpful and informative.

Nice peaceful place

Enjoyed our second stay at this house, nice and secluded but also a good position to see the sights on the island. Having the toilet, bath/shower, and sink separate makes it easy to share the one restroom between four adults. We saw kangaroos, turkeys, a wallaby, and a monitor lizard from the front porch.

The Gem of KI

If you like wildlife away from the maddening crowd about 40 minutes from Penneshaw, this is the place.A few minutes walk to Nepean Bay and you have the place all to yourself. The host was impeccable. Yes, all the main attractions are a must see but don’t forget Cape Borda Lighthouse. Well worth a look, particularly it’s history.

Clearwater Haven

The property was amazing. We had days of unprecedented rain and gale force winds and we were warm, comfortable and dry. We ventured out when we could but loved returning to such a beautiful property. We had visits from beautiful blue wrens potoroos, tamar wallabies, kangaroos and birdlife galore.

Paradise

Property was lovely, well equipped with all that one requires, beach on doorstep. It was very peaceful, no traffic noise and so forth. Beach pristine. Travelling to see other places on the island we found (being in a sedan car) was tiring (on the gravel roads to and from the property). Yes one is in the centre so to speak and could visit one day to the left and next to right.KI has amazing places to see. All in all we had a great time. Thank you.

Wonderful holiday home and in every way as described. Ori sent through an information pack beforehand which contained everything we needed. Easy to check in and out with the keys in a lock box. The house is beautifully secluded and a short stroll from a stunning beach. There were plenty of books and toys to entertain our 20-month-old. We spotted a goanna, many birds and kangaroos on the property. At night it was completely dark and silent - fantastic.Kitchen was fully equipped (only a pair of scissors was missing) and there is a good collection of board games and dvds.The only suggestion we would have is perhaps install a “children playing” sign along the driveway; it is a shared driveway with a property out the back and we noticed three different cars during our stay, one of which tore through at a fairly high speed. Overall a wonderful stay, we hope to come again sometime in the future!

We had the most blissful, fuel recharging stay at Clearwater Haven! Travelling with two young cherubs (aged 2 and 4), we found the house perfectly set up for families — clean, spacious and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. From kid friendly kitchen / dining & bathroom supplies through to the bedroom (our girls adored the sweet touch of the soft toys left on their beds for them to borrow & cuddle each night). All the house amenities and rooms were exactly as listed and described online. LOVED the very short walk to what felt like a private beach and the abundance of wildlife right on our doorstep. We honestly didn’t switch on the TV once during our 3-day stay as "nature & star" TV was just too good!!Ori was a wonderful host and provided some of the clearest and most helpful information and manuals we’ve seen. The location felt peaceful and remote without being inconvenient — just 20 minutes to Kingscote and around 30 minutes to Penneshaw, which was so manageable with young kids.Seriously didn’t want to leave and would happily stay again. Highly recommend!!
