About this property

Allure Beach Retreat - Privacy, Nature, Direct Beach Access

Wake up to the sound of the waves in your own private eco retreat with direct access to Pennington Bay, one of the most spectacular beaches on Kangaroo Island. Whether you are a surfer, fisher, or just enjoy walking on pristine white sand, Pennington Bay is one of the hidden gems of Kangaroo Island.

Conveniently located a 20 minutes drive from both the ferry terminal and airport, the beach house is situated in over 50 acres of privately owned, pristine, heritage coastline land and provides you with absolute seclusion. You will think you are the only people on the island, yet a short walk through your own private sand dunes from the beach house and you arrive at the beach.

Accommodation comprises two spacious double bedrooms, one bathroom, well equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge. Please note, the bathroom is accessed through bedroom 2.

Our configuration is such that we are most suited to couples, families and lone travellers. We can only accommodate a maximum of 4 adults.

The property is fully "off-grid" with a combination of solar with back up battery power.

Please note there is an outside BBQ, and inside cook top/hob although no oven.

Food platters can be arranged either for your arrival, or during your visit with two weeks' notice.

Thanks for leaving a review Riaan and delighted you enjoyed the privacy and nature surrounding Allure. I've messaged you separately to see if there are any specific things we can do to push us up into a 5* rating and hoping there wasn't anything that detracted from your visit. Hope you had a great trip to KI.

A lovely isolated property truly embedded in the wilderness of Kangaroo Island. There is good wifi connectivity, the cooking is a little restricted bc of the reliance on solar power, so there's a gas stove but no oven. Otherwise all comforts of modern life are there. The payoff is a magnificent outlook onto the southern coast, and a wildlife-filled garden that was a bird-watcher's dream!

Thanks for leaving such a lovely review Kath, we are so pleased you enjoyed the bird spotting...we are lucky that so many come to visit. Pleased also that you felt you had all of your home comforts - we do try, despite being off-grid & reliant on solar and rain water.....some compromises need to be made, but like you, we feel the payoff is worth it. Hope we can welcome you back in the future.

A gorgeous stay in a remote location. The views were incredible, and we were very comfortable in the house with two adults and two kids. We could easily get to different places on the island for adventures.We had three full days and followed this itinerary: one day we visited Seal Bay Conservation Area and Little Sahara; another day we explored Flinders Chase National Park; and on the final day we spent the morning at Pennington Bay and the afternoon enjoying the food of Kangaroo Island, including Emu Bay Lavender Farm, a honey farm, and Kangaroo Island Olives.Each night, we ended up cuddled together watching a family-friendly movie from the awesome DVD collection at Allure Beach, and the kids loved the book selection at the house. We had an amazing time and would love to go back!

This property is idyllic, tucked away up a track with 50 acres of land. The house has beautiful views to the sea and a private track to an almost deserted beach. The deck round the property means there are places to sit in or out of the sun. We particularly enjoyed the water bowl which attracted lots of different birds and kangaroos and wallabies in the evening. I highly recommend.

Ideal private location between Penneshaw and Kingscote with an amazing surf beach (constant 1m waves, white sand and clear blue water) around 10 minutes' walk away (from door to water), and fantastic views, including from the bathroom.While we ate out for most meals, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the combustion heater keep everyone cozy over the cool nights. The property is well stocked with anything you could need.Highly recommend this location and will book again.

School holiday get away

Tried somewhere different after staying at island beach a few times. Location is brilliant, beautiful bushland, wildlife and magnificent coastline. close to pennashaw, cygnet river and Kingscote for convenience, but may as well be in the middle of nowhere. Could not rate this stay highly enough. Will definitely try and come back.
