We lived in Bridgewater in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia for 20 years before returning to live at Emu Bay, Kangaroo Island in 2005.
We had previously lived on Kangaroo Island when Herb was the District Ranger in Charge of the west end of Kangaroo Island. During this time we lived at both Kelly Hill Caves and Flinders Chase National Park and therefore know the Island and all of its attractions well.
Apart from the 5 years based on Kangaroo Island he was also the Operations Manager at Cleland Wildlife Park in the Adelaide Hills and also spent a year working for the Oregon State Parks Service in the USA as part of the first International Ranger Exchange Program. In 2003 Herb left the National Parks and Wildlife Service after a 30 year career to pursue our dream of an "Island Sea Change".
Janette has worked as an Information Officer at Belair National Park and then spent 9 years as an Office Administrator at an Aged Care Complex in the Adelaide Hills before moving to Emu Bay.
As our son and daughter are now adults with their own careers, we have opted to pursue our love for the more relaxed lifestyle on Kangaroo Island.

We own and operate our Kangaroo Island Holiday Accommodation business which includes Searenity Holiday Home and a fully self-contained luxury holiday apartment on the lower level of our own home. We pride ourselves on providing a very high standard of presentation and customer service and are there to greet you on arrival to hand you the keys and answer any questions.
