Your fantastic review was much appreciated. We are very happy that you enjoyed staying at our property. We hope you may return in the future.
Wow, this is one of the best Stays we have used ever. The attention to detail and organisation of the owners is second to none. The information provided us with everything we needed to experience Kangaroo Island to its fullest. The house was stacked with luxury linen and had everything we needed plus more. So many little unexpected touches that did not go unnoticed and enhanced our time tenfold. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Thank you for reviewing SeaKing Escape so positively. Our goal is to provide guests with the high-quality experience they expected from our property. We hope you will stay again in the future.
Excellent, clean accommodations near to the conveniences of town but just enough outside it to feel a little quieter. There were lots of clear instructions all around the house, and the couple of times I still had a question, the host was very responsive. It seemed unusua to us to need to bring our own soap, shampoo and coffee but the instructions told us that ahead of time so it was no problem and maybe that is typical in Australia to not provide it. Great place and we enjoyed the deck view of the water.

About the host
Hosted by Paul and Elizabeth Simpson-Smith
SeaKing Escape has been a labour of love for our family. It was built to lock-up by a building company and then we completed the rest ourselves. It was a 'bucket-list' project that took months of hard work and literally blood, sweat and tears! We continue to maintain it at a high level and improve it where we can both inside and out. We are happy to share our special place with you, but ask that you take care of it during your stay. Thank you Elizabeth & Paul
