Each accommodation at the 5-star hotel has sea views, and guests can enjoy access to a sauna. Each room includes a balcony. Beautiful location and a stunning property. The outdoor and indoor bath was fabulous and the cabins were very private. The sky light over the bed is a great touch!

Located in Kingscote, Inna Nutshell offers accommodation with air conditioning and access to a garden. There is a private entrance at the holiday home for the convenience of those who stay. The holiday home also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Fantastic location, right in the heart of town; minutes from restaurants and the wonderful salt water pool (great for an early morning dip). Inna Nutshell is extremely well equipped, but as the host says lacks views, but who cares when the accommodation is so lovely and comfortable - bedrooms, kitchen, TV, coffee machine etc etc. Really clean too. Would recommend without doubt.

Featuring sea views, Emu Bay Holiday Homes provides accommodation with patio, around 600 metres from Emu Bay Beach. There is a private entrance at the holiday home for the convenience of those who stay. There is a children's playground and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station. We loved staying at Emu Bay Cabins. At first, we were concerned as the cabin seemed so small, but there is a very good use of space and we managed to live there for 5 evenings comfortably without feeling too cramped. We really enjoyed the view and if the weather had been better we would have loved eating on the terrace. A highlight was to observe the kangaroos and the bird life from the terrace. The kitchen is small but well equipped and I was able to cook everything I wanted to. I liked being able to walk down the hill to the beach, rather than needing to get the car out. The owner/manager popped around to see us a few times and was very friendly and helpful.

Set in Stokes Bay in the Kangaroo Island region, Waves & Wildlife Cottages Kangaroo Island offers accommodation with free private parking.

The lodge provides guests with a balcony, sea views, a seating area, satellite flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge and an oven, and a private bathroom with shower and free toiletries. A microwave, a stovetop and toaster are also offered, as well as a kettle. I absolutely loved this place. It is right above/next Stokes Beach, which was voted best beach in 2023, and has some of the best sunsets I have ever seen. When you have breakfast, kangaroos are hopping everywhere around your window (if you prefer to eat indoors). There are koalas in the trees a bit further and at dawn the wallabies come out. The owners make sure you have everything and even let us hand feed the kangaroos. I really enjoyed the silence of nature at night, this was my best sleep on my Australian travels (amazing blanket and pillow as well).

Set in Kingscote in the Kangaroo Island region, Owl House on the Corner has a garden. This property offers access to a patio and free private parking. Outdoor seating is also available at the holiday home. We stayed for two nights at the Owl House on the Corner and found it to be a true little gem. Thank you for opening your home to guests — it truly feels like a home away from home. Our son especially loved the space and facilities. It was a wonderful place to return to and relax after a full day of sightseeing. The accommodation was cosy, clean, and welcoming, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and peaceful stay.
