Thank you for our wonderful stay! The cottage is beautiful and very well equipped. It stayed cool inside despite extreme temperatures outside and we all slept very well. Wildlife all around, beautiful to watch the wallabies cross the garden. And the beach, which we had mostly for ourselves, is just stunning! We will definitely be back. Thank you!

Could have short metal tongs for bbq instead of p,attic ends which could melt. It would be extremely helpful if a rail was outside the main front steps for elderly or disabled people.

Fabulous accommodations

Clearwater Haven was an ideal choice for us for our family vacation on Kangaroo Island!It was in a perfect quiet location short walk from the beach. All amenities were provided to make our stay more pleasant. Small extras- towel racks in all rooms, super plush beach towels and large BBQ were really nice!

Joy is having the beach at the end of your driveway and local oysters a short drive away!

Our family had a wonderful time here, not just enjoying the island but all Clearwater had to offer, a beach you can walk to, a deck for star gazing & bushy surrounds you can explore. Thank you for a wonderful stay- we hope to be back again some day :)

Perfect start to our KI experience!

What a gem of a property! Great location being adjacent to the bay and with no one else in sight! Perfect base to explore that end of the island.Clean and tidy with a comfy bed and hot showers. Kitchen and house has everything we needed to make our stay perfect.

Wonderful holiday home and in every way as described. Ori sent through an information pack beforehand which contained everything we needed. Easy to check in and out with the keys in a lock box. The house is beautifully secluded and a short stroll from a stunning beach. There were plenty of books and toys to entertain our 20-month-old. We spotted a goanna, many birds and kangaroos on the property. At night it was completely dark and silent - fantastic.Kitchen was fully equipped (only a pair of scissors was missing) and there is a good collection of board games and dvds.The only suggestion we would have is perhaps install a “children playing” sign along the driveway; it is a shared driveway with a property out the back and we noticed three different cars during our stay, one of which tore through at a fairly high speed. Overall a wonderful stay, we hope to come again sometime in the future!

Lovely Stay

Great house in a bush setting. We enjoyed being a short drive away from Kingscote but still feeling like we were immersed in nature. Quick stroll from a beautiful beach. House was well set up to cook meals and relax in after exploring the island. Thanks for a great stay Ori!

The Gem of KI

If you like wildlife away from the maddening crowd about 40 minutes from Penneshaw, this is the place.A few minutes walk to Nepean Bay and you have the place all to yourself. The host was impeccable. Yes, all the main attractions are a must see but don’t forget Cape Borda Lighthouse. Well worth a look, particularly it’s history.

Relaxing getaway

Our family had an amazing stay at Clearwater Haven. The property was clean and well equipped, and the location is spectacular! Just a short walk to a beautiful clear beach perfect for kids. The short nature walk within the property was also very enjoyable. Communication with Ori was great, and her tips for things to do was very helpful and informative.

Nice peaceful place

Enjoyed our second stay at this house, nice and secluded but also a good position to see the sights on the island. Having the toilet, bath/shower, and sink separate makes it easy to share the one restroom between four adults. We saw kangaroos, turkeys, a wallaby, and a monitor lizard from the front porch.

The property was amazing. We had days of unprecedented rain and gale force winds and we were warm, comfortable and dry. We ventured out when we could but loved returning to such a beautiful property. We had visits from beautiful blue wrens potoroos, tamar wallabies, kangaroos and birdlife galore.

Paradise

Property was lovely, well equipped with all that one requires, beach on doorstep. It was very peaceful, no traffic noise and so forth. Beach pristine. Travelling to see other places on the island we found (being in a sedan car) was tiring (on the gravel roads to and from the property). Yes one is in the centre so to speak and could visit one day to the left and next to right.KI has amazing places to see. All in all we had a great time. Thank you.

We had the most blissful, fuel recharging stay at Clearwater Haven! Travelling with two young cherubs (aged 2 and 4), we found the house perfectly set up for families — clean, spacious and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. From kid friendly kitchen / dining & bathroom supplies through to the bedroom (our girls adored the sweet touch of the soft toys left on their beds for them to borrow & cuddle each night). All the house amenities and rooms were exactly as listed and described online. LOVED the very short walk to what felt like a private beach and the abundance of wildlife right on our doorstep. We honestly didn’t switch on the TV once during our 3-day stay as "nature & star" TV was just too good!!Ori was a wonderful host and provided some of the clearest and most helpful information and manuals we’ve seen. The location felt peaceful and remote without being inconvenient — just 20 minutes to Kingscote and around 30 minutes to Penneshaw, which was so manageable with young kids.Seriously didn’t want to leave and would happily stay again. Highly recommend!!
