Lovely place

A clean and nicely appointed house. Great proximity to beach and lots of little additions to make your stay easier - beach kit and trolley was great, a selection of books, games and DVDs. We had a great week.

Delightful, relaxing and luxurious

We felt at home in this beautiful place, it was a a short stroll to the beach and high is perfect for anyone especially little ones. We spent hours playing and with a shed full of beach activities we knew we didn’t have to bring anything over from the mainland. The bath is delightful and after a beach visit it was the perfect place to relax. This is a the perfect place for a family with a big outdoor dining table, books and toys and super cute beds. The washing machine was a bonus. We would absolutely stay again and highly recommend this home to anyone.

Outstanding accommodation

Everything about Strandmarken is enjoyable. I have stayed several times now and have enjoyed it more each time, as I’ve become familiar with the house and the environment. The owners have worked so hard to maintain and improve the property. The addition of the outside bath is lovely. We enjoyed the beach so much this time. I cannot recommend Strandmarken highly enough.

Loved the Kangaroos!

Loved that the kangaroos came every morning and every night. Awesome! Property was great. Pity about the rough road to get in there. The first gravel road on KI we hit was Island Beach Road, and it was one of the worst we found on the Island. We enjoyed our stay.

Strandmarken in January

This property is beautifully made, and maintained in excellent condition. It is a pleasure to use the good quality facilities. We were given access to beach equipment such as chairs, and especially enjoyed the outside chairs, benches, lounges and hammocks. Although there is not a view of the beach from the house, we loved watching the many birds, especially finches, attracted by the garden, and the roosters and hens patrolling the property. The wonderful Island Beach is a short walk beyond the driveway. A small problem was speedily addressed by the owners. We warmly recommend this property.

amazing location, amazing house, amazing holiday

The house is situated so close to the beach but also within the bush and so it feels so cosy and like home. The fire place was amazing for the cold evenings and nights. There is nothing to complain or even critique about this house nor the hospitality. Very clean, easy check in and always very communicative throughout. A++++ my partner and I have already said we’ll be back!

Awesome Getaway

We had a very enjoyable stay. Fantastic property and location. Great for families with young kids. Our boys 22mths and 4yrs loved the kids bedroom and outdoor bath. Oh....and the waffle maker 😊 Look forward to returning in the future. Thank you to the owners for creating a wonderful family home away from home 👌

A GREAT FAMILY GETAWAY

Idyllic location, spacious, more than generous with pantry items and well stocked generally. The 2 captains beds are a bit small for an older or taller child - I would swap for something bigger as my daughter couldn't fit.

Wonderful little getaway

Stayed here with my husband and two young children. House was very cosy and had everything we needed. Location was close to the beach and a short drive into Penneshaw. It was nice and private surrounded by bush land and we enjoyed watching the wildlife, especially the friendly kangaroos who visited daily. The bath at the top of the hill was very relaxing and on cooler nights the fireplace kept the entire house warm. We would stay again.

Holiday delight

This home is so well built and such a rare treat. Visiting in winter, we were pleasantly surprised at how well insulated the house stayed, evening and night. The amenities of the home made it very relaxing and a nice layout with the childrens room away from the laundry and bathroom.

Loved every moment!

This was our second time on KI and in Island Beach. The property was perfect for our family of 4. Short walk from the beach, great sound system that even played outside, kitchen had everything you'd want even an espresso machine for those morning coffees. Kids loved the water toys and even pulled the trolley from the beach to the house. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing stay on the Island. Can't wait to return!

Perfectly described, homely and welcoming and in the perfect location

We had a wonderful holiday at Strandmarken, the property is clean and very well set up for families, a very short walk to the most amazing open safe swimming beach and within striking distance of all Kangaroo Island’s main attractions (and many others). Owners are generous in allowing their beach stuff to be borrowed, the cart was a god-send for taking beach toys etc back and forth. The European windows are clever, allowing all the breeze to be captured whilst in a private location behind the dunes. Great value for money considering the location and We would love to return!

Strandmarken, Island Beach, they thought of everything.

We enjoyed your lovely beach house in the bush. We appreciated the attention to detail, anything you could possibly need was there.We had fun on the beach with beach gear and trolley provided. Wild life close to the house and so close to the beach it was perfect. Very relaxing stay
