Great views of the ocean. Our first family holiday as a family of 3 and this place was perfect for us. Plenty of space for downtime. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The cottage is stylish with lovely garden and views, but does not have enough kitchen facilities for 4 to self cater. No basics eg salt pepper, oil. Not a problem for locals driving but anyone flying from elsewhere will not wish to bring these. Only two v small saucepans and one small/medium. No frying pan (only a large and dirty electric fryer). A combi microwave/oven but no instructions on how to adjust oven temperature. The VRBO listing says there is a hot-tub - not present

Thank you for review, we have been listed on VBRO and Stayz for over 15 years and have never had a hot tub at the property. I have looked at the description again and still unable to see where that is listed. Sorry for any disappointment. The kitchen is lilsted as a galley kitchen and has amenities to cook with for 2 to 4 guests adequately and we are very fortunate to be 2 minutes drive from the shops that stay open from 8am to 10pm at night. There are also many fabulous eateries in the area. We also offer breakfast hampers if requestsed. We will revise the ammenities in the kitchen to see if any further equipment can be provided. Thanks

2 stories to accomodation

The property was lovely. Bedroom 1 has a nice bed and view and room 2 has a nice bed also. The property has 2 levels, the pictures listed are of the bottom level. We stayed 4 nights and 2 nights the owners were not home but on the last 2 nights the owners were home and living above us which we were not advised of and made the remainder of the stay uncomfortable. We were after a peacful stay but couldnt sleep in because we could hear people moving upstairs. Had we known previously we would not have booked. No weber or hot tub to use as listed on the site. Quiet dissapointed that the details listed on stayz does not reflect accuratly.

Cape view cottage Kangaroo Island

This Hosts communication and welcome is terrific, which is especially important as the Island will be an unfamiliar area for many. The cottage is clean, welcoming and well appointed and really IS just 10 meters from the beach! The beach view is beautiful from most of the areas of the cottage and the delightful back garden is a treat. Whilst the cottage is on the smaller side, the front and back outdoor areas more than make up for this.

Thank you for your lovely review and staying with us. Despite the cold winter in Victor Harbor is a great time to stay. Curl up inside and watch the rain fall on the waves and perhaps stop a Whale. Thanks again Julia

Our stay at Victor Harbor was great. The apartment was very comfortable and of course we loved the view. It was good to look thought the books/music and we appreciated the magazines. We wish only that the weather had been a bit warmer so we could enjoy sitting at the outdoor table more. Having the electric fry pan and hotplates was good. We will recommend to any friends who are heading over.RegardsRosie
