Superb beach/bush stay

We had 10 days at Vivonne which allowed us to enjoy many of the amazing vistas and places on KI within a reasonable driving distance. An additional bonus staying at this place was the great variety of bird life we saw, it was a a real treat.

Great views of the Southern Ocean across Vivonne Bay

An excellent base to explore Kangaroo Island the National Parks, walking trails, the wildlife and pristine beaches, wineries and cafes. It can be windy, but snug inside and great views over the protected native scrub reserve and out onto the bay.

Our grateful thanks Christine for your 5-star review. Glad you could experience so much of KI during your 10-night stay. Snug is the right word. Looking out from inside Ocean View is reminiscent of being on the bridge of a ship venturing south into the Southern Ocean. Warm regards, Ian & Ann
