We wanted to say a huge thankyou for your beautiful accommodation- the house was amazing and had everything we needed. So much space and everything was lovely and clean. The toys for the kids were great too. An extra big thankyou for letting us stay an extra night (when our ferry was cancelled). It made such a big difference for us, with such an unexpected Change to our plans. 5 stars, an amazing accommodation for 1-2 families.

Beautiful Property

The property was perfect for our multi generational holiday. Rachel presented the property beautifully and provided all the extras that made the house feel like home. The house was well equipped with quality beds, appliances, BBQ, Webber …….We particularly enjoyed sharing dinner at the table on the front deck. The children loved exploring the garden and having space to run around outside. The location was ideal, being close to Kingscote meant that stocking up with supplies was an easy daily run. Do yourself a favour and pay a bit more to stay at this wonderful property.

Fantastic family accommodation

We stayed at the Villa in July 2019 and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The house was beautiful - so clean when we arrived, and the owners had left a very generous set of provisions to get us started. The Villa is extremely comfortable, the kitchen fantastic, and our children loved the range of toys that came with the house. The table tennis set up in the garden was fantastic too. We really appreciated the in depth information the owners provided about things to do on the island, it was a most comprehensive guide and so useful for planning our day trip. The garden is beautiful, and full of sunny nooks to enjoy even in winter. This property really deserves its 5 stars - it was a fantastic base for our Kangaroo Island experience and we couldn't recommend it more highly.

Amazing!

What an incredible property. Modern, clean, spacious and well positioned. Our travelling party of 11 with ages ranging from 2 to 77 couldn’t fault anything. Rachel was an amazing host, easily contactable and accommodating to all our needs. She has thought of everything and all the ‘little extras’ provided were above and beyond our expectations.

Stunning property and perfect host, highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. Rachel is the most thoughtful host. Everything about booking this property was 10/10. Rachel went above and beyond to provide us with lots of helpful information for first time travelers to KI. The property had everything a family could possibly need, it really is a case of just pack your clothes and go. The house is immaculate without even a blade of grass out of place. There was even fresh flowers, a bottle of wine and soft drink for the children when we arrived. I highly recommend this property and any of Rachel's properties she is the ultimate host.

Great house to get away in

My family (wife, son & in-laws) and I stayed in this beautiful house for 4 nights while we explored KI. Upon arrival the key was exactly where we were told to find it, the house was spotlessly clean and there was a fantastic gift package waiting for us on the kitchen bench. The weather was cold and windy but the house was warm and cosy with split system AC throughout. The kitchen was well equipped with almost every utensil known to man and the cupboards in the house were jammed with games and puzzles that kept us entertained most evenings. The TV in the lounge was adequately huge and the ones in the ground floor bedrooms are a nice touch. The house is located within walking distance of the beach, no more than 100-150m, and a 2min drive from the Kingscote town centre.

Luxurious getaway

The photos on the site do sum up how nice the property is. It is well designed with little luxury touches like temperature controlled showers as well as having some extra goodies left for you in the pantry as a welcome. The property is 2km out of Kingscote and about 100 metres from the Brownlow beach which is nestled on calm waters, it is a great base for seeing Kangaroo Island. Every family member has taken home some great memories from this trip.

Beautiful home with everything we needed

We had an amazing time at The Villa! The house was beautifully presented, it felt luxurious for us and so inviting for our young children too. We visited lots of attractions during our stay - the list Rachel gave us was so helpful as were all the brochures in the house. With three little children, our favourite day was actually a 'home' day. We played games and toys (provided!), and went for a walk (such a quiet part of town). Another day, the boys took a cricket set from the house and had a few hits at KI Brewing. Dudley Wines was also a great recommendation. This property is so well equipped! We had everything we needed, so many extras and our kids were so excited by the little treats left for us in the pantry. Highly recommend - just the break we needed.

Absolutely Stunning & Very Luxurious

House was really spacious, clean, big bedrooms and well maintained garden, but what we liked best is that they’ve thought of everything. I can see now why it’s a bit more expensive than some other places, but having stayed in other places on KI, it’s really in a league of its own, so I wouldn’t hesitate in saying that you won’t be disappointed. All the little extras made our stay so easy and enjoyable, the owner Rachaelle (sorry if that’s spelt wrong) had told us we didn’t need to bring much other than our personal stuff and she was right – the whole house was well stocked with lots of things that we haven’t usually found in holiday houses, like oil, flour, clothes washing liquids, glad wrap, paper towel, a whole carton of milk in the fridge, capsules for the coffee maker and then there was also things like extra sets of keys that was good for our big group, spare bbq gas bottle, sunscreen, beach towels, esky, sand toys and cricket set for the kids, the list goes on and on (I think I’ve missed a lot on that list), we really couldn’t believe it. There were lemons, limes and leeks in the garden which we made good use of, but the almonds and figs weren’t quite ripe yet unfortunately so I’ll have to time it a bit better next time. Even the information that they sent us before we arrived was really helpful, things like what’s open when, local restaurants, shop hours etc., we’ve never had that before when we stay somewhere and it made a big difference having something to refer to. Because we stayed in December a Christmas tree, wreath and outside fairy lights were all set up so it felt like an early Christmas holiday, we’re wishing that we had booked for xmas now. They have another house next door too (and maybe even a third I think), which I think would be good if you had a few families on holidays together. We should have stayed longer, when the owner said that you could easily spend 2 weeks on the Island she wasn’t wrong. I can’t thank the owner enough, you said that this is a wonderful place and you’re right.

I'm friendly, helpful and committed to making your stay perfect! I'm passionate about all things Kangaroo Island, travel, family-time, beautiful yet unpretentious properties & gardens, so this little 'hobby' business is an absolute dream and it's a joy to be helpful! Every single booking is special and if you have any questions at all, please ask. It's the little things that can make your stay perfect and the memories that are created are priceless. We spend our time between Adelaide, Kingscote and our farmland in central KI.

Why they chose this property

KI is like paradise on earth to us & we fell in love with these Cottages the moment we walked in! After travelling to KI for years and still never running out of amazing things to do, we decided to start Seaside Garden Cottages to enjoy and also share with other guests from around the world. With 3 cottages on adjacent properties in a great location, this accommodation is ideal for groups travelling together.

What makes this property unique

The Cottages were hand built by the previous architect owner & they are just utterly charming - gosh he's talented! Soaring ceilings, beautiful spaces, tastefully styled, quality linens, furnishings & comfy beds. Attention to detail is everything., so we try to make these properties everything we love to have when travelling.
