We have a lovely time. The Villa is well located, in good condition, spacious and clean.It had coffee and teas and other basic stuff when we arrived!Will come again for sure
Our visit to the Villa was fabulous- gorgeous place, very comfortable & well appointed, fully equipped so that you can eat out or cook some gourmet delight & spend an evening relaxing with friends. We loved it!
The property delivered far more than expected. The Seaside Garden Cottage was literally a home away from home, very comfortable and superbaly equipped. We can definitely recommend this place.
Beautiful, well appointed, so many hang out spots! Comfy couches and beds, perfect for our group. Table tennis a lovely activity! Would highly recommend for a large group.
This place was perfect for our group of 6 friends and 2 year old! Everything was catered for (even all the little things). The house was beautiful and the gardens stunning !
Hi Chloe, you and your group were absolutely perfect guests, if I could give you all a 6 star rating I would! Hope to have you stay at one of my properties again :) Best wishes, Rachel
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.
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.
Thank you so much for such a kind review Jayne! It was an absolute pleasure to have you and your family stay over the New Year and I do hope you can return to KI again. Best wishes, Rachel
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.
Thank you for your booking and such a kind review Sally; it was a pleasure to have your family stay. I'm so glad you found the day trip suggestions useful and enjoyed the garden - the table tennis table was only added last year but has been so popular with both kids and adult. Best wishes, Rachel
Had a large open area for our large group. Plenty of space to move around and bedrooms were very roomy. Perfect place to stay and in a nice quiet neighbourhood was perfect.
Beautiful location, house is lovely and presented extremely well. Owners have thought of everything and pre arrival information was very helpful. We all loved the stay.
Wow, what an amazing property, set in a lovely garden. The property was very clean and contained a good range of supplies. The house was very convenient being close to the beach and Kingscote. Highly recommend it.
Beautiful accommodation, great quiet location. We enjoyed playing table tennis and relaxing in the beautiful garden. We rode our bikes along the bike track to Kingscote each morning and caught squid off the jetty- fantastic!!
Hosts are lovely to deal with. Highly recommend!!! We will be back.
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.
Kerry, you are so kind! I really enjoyed our chat, and so glad you had a chance to get away on a last minute holiday with your family. Thank you for staying, and I do hope our paths cross again! Best wishes, Rachel :)
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.
Hi Nigel, I just realised that's I'd missed responding and thanking you for leaving such a generous review, so kind! Such perfect guests, I do hope you can visit again. Best wishes, Rachel
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.
Thank you for choosing to stay at The Villa Rob, for being wonderful guests and also for taking the time to write a review, I do appreciate it. I'm so glad that you and your family enjoyed your time in KI and I hope to welcome you again in the future!
Great position, just out of town and near the beach
The house was extremely well set out and the decor was excellent. Well catered for everybody including the children. Would recommend this property to anybody.
Thanks for your review Jamie and for being such wonderful guests. I'm so glad that your family get-together/birthday party went well and I hope you all have some wonderful memories of your time together.
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.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday. The cleanliness, design, decor, and linen and towels etc were top of the class. We all appreciated the effort you have put in to make this a top class property to rent. The added little extras in the pantry also were appreciated. Thank you. Ros
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.
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.
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.
