It was a fabulous place for our holiday in KI. Well design house with a personal touch. Felt homely throughout our stay. It is an excellent place to spend time with your family and friends. All surrounded by great Aussie country life, nature and wildlife.

Yasoba Australia

Beautiful location, great views, beautiful nature and wildlife in the area. Host is above and beyond all expectations looking after every need and answering every query. Fantastic facilities and amenities. Absolute must.

Matthew Australia

It was such a lovely place. The apartment is very clean and tidy, rules are clear and reasonable, the host is super friendly, helped me sort out the last-minute ferry booking, and her cute little puppies coming over looking for my little one everyday during the stay. Price is also reasonable for the great bay view, with beautiful and well designed garden, and even a kid playground within the area. We got to see a kangaroo and an echidna in the front garden. The morning sunrise driving down to the shore was a beautiful and unforgettable memory with white sand on one side and the deep blue water on the other. We love the place and definitely will come back.

Duong Australia

The views from the property were just amazing, and the property was very comfortable.

Paula Australia

A peaceful setting, with awesome outlook from Cabin Deck. Koalas in their natural environment were 100m away - amazing ! Extremely thoughtfully presented & very well equipped.

Cathy Australia

Had everything you could need. condiments, hairdryer etc. Nice size with terrace and gas bbq. Great location and only a short drive or 10-15 min walk to beach. Great and safe for swimming in sea. Easy to get to main roads and access around the island. Would highly recommend

Paul United Kingdom

I loved this little cottage. It was comfortable and had everything I wanted. I’d recommend it to anyone heading for KI.

Peter Australia

The Emu Bay location was very convenient & a great base to see All of KI. The Host gave us clear instruction in how to access the lock box. The cabin was just right for a couple, not sure how kids would go for an extended period. Really appreciated the condiments & spices in the cupboards because we had to cook a couple of meals, (no takeaway available for our needs nearby). We had bought some groceries with us. A folder with information about KI as well as vouchers was provided - really helpful. The complementary honey was much appreciated I support the Hosts suggestions for sustainability, water recycling dishes and the appropriate garbage recycling bins were provided

Kerry Australia

Loved my stay at Emu Bay Holiday Homes. So much wildlife around the property and such a peaceful place to stay. I had a view of Emu Bay and got to see a really beautiful sunrise. The cottage was clean and comfortable and provided everything you need. Will definately be back.

Kelly Australia

    Amani House which is located at the top of the property has exceptional sea views and views over the beautiful gardens. It has a large lounge area with big windows to enjoy the exceptional sea views.

  • Hello, this might sound like a silly question but due to back problems I need to ask if your bed mattresses are firm or soft.. Regards Joy
    Hi Joy - we have good mattresses that are firm, but not too hard with a wool overlay. We always get comments about our lovely matresses. Hope that helps. Kind regards Renè
    Answered on August 2, 2021
  • Is there a shuttle available to get to the closest beach nearby? What are the other transportation options?
    Self drive is the best way to visit Kangaroo Island. Cars can be hired on island at the airport or at the ferry terminal in Penneshaw. There are tour operators that offer tours around the island with pickup from your accommodation.
    Answered on January 27, 2020
  • We have a dog he is a Kelpie very well trained. We could bring a portable dog enclosure if required. Cheers Phil Attard
    Hi Phil, I am sure your Kelpie is a beautiful well trained dog. Our property however is not suitable for dogs unfortunately as we have lots of wildlife on the property.
