About the host
Hosted by Heather Burgess
Hi. My name is Heather Burgess I am a physiotherapist, now semi retired. I have lived in Adelaide all my life, much of it in the Adelaide hills. My partner Max and I now live in Athelstone overlooking Black Hill Conservation Park. I have always loved the outdoors and the Australian bush. I am a keen bushwalker and grower of native plants. Max and I generally have a dog in our life and currently we are trying to domesticate a lively staghound puppy called Rupert. We get over to Kangaroo Island as often as we can.
Why they chose this property
I first fell in love with Kangaroo Island on a visit with friends as a Uni student in 1972.
I found Vivonne Bay when I brought my parents and young children over for an Easter visit in the late 80s. Looking for somewhere not too far from the west end attractions
( to avoid the " Are we there yet?" chorus from the back seat) I took a chance and booked a house here.
In 2002 I brought my new maybe partner Max to the Island to test his bushwalking stamina. He passed so I thought I should show him my favourite beach (here of course).
As chance would have it there was a stunning block of land for sale tucked behind the coastal reserve. Max said "buy it and I will build you a house". And he did - the beautiful Currawong Cottage. Not bad for a hairdresser with no building experience. I have kept both of them.
Now my grown up children and my grand children love to come and stay. We have such happy times here with friends and family and we are pleased to think that others can come and enjoy our special place.

What makes this property unique
The mid south coast location is perfect for accessing all of the Island"s attractions. Nothing is too far away for a leisurely day trip. The beach is stunning. Voted Australia's best beach two years running in a Sydney University survey. Currawong Cottage is as close as you can get to the beach. It is cute, private and secluded. Birds and other wild life frequently visit the garden.
Air conditioned for summer and winter comfort with a wood heater for atmosphere and extra cosiness. All up to date kitchen appliances and an old style Victorian bathtub in the main bathroom. A perfect mixture of quirky and convenient with great atmosphere. You can't help but relax and unwind.
