Description
A delightful stone and timber cottage craftsman-built in 1992 and nestled in coastal mallee 200m from the beach. After a hard days touring or fishing sit on the secluded deck and watch the birds, feed the possums and wallabies that come most nights, or just relax with a glass of Island wine.
It is a small cottage, tastefully decorated, with a cosy feel, and full of charm and character. It makes an ideal romantic getaway for two people, but is also most suitable for families and groups up to four people.
The property has the Australian Government T-QUAL Assurance tick.
Guests describe it as romantic, cosy, peaceful, a home away from home, spotlessly clean, had everything we needed.
Please note: You book the whole cottage exclusively, not just a room.
The cottage is situated on the south coast of Kangaroo Island, in the Vivonne Bay township, only a two minute walk to the beach. The pristine beach is ideal for fishing, surfing, or beach-walking. Look for Leafy Sea Dragons as you go, and watch for whales, dolphins and seals.
It is situated central to the island's major natural attractions including Seal Bay, Kelly Hill caves, and Flinders Chase National Park with the fabulous Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch.
In fact almost all attractions on the island are within an hour's drive. A good central location.
The cottage has an open plan L-shaped lounge-kitchen-dining area, and separate bathroom. Due to reliance on rainwater, there is no laundry. It is fully equipped, and all bedding and linen is supplied.
There is a reverse-cycle air conditioner and fan for heating and cooling, and a private secluded deck with BBQ and outdoor setting.
There is a small TV with DVD player (no TV reception), and a cot and highchair can be set up on request. There is a limited selection of DVDs and CDs, and a range of games, magazines and books for evening entertainment. Bird book for identifying the birds in the birdbath.
