About this property

Allure Beach Retreat - Privacy, Nature, Direct Beach Access

Wake up to the sound of the waves in your own private off-grid retreat with direct access to Pennington Bay, one of the most spectacular beaches on Kangaroo Island. Whether you are a surfer, fisher, or just enjoy walking on pristine white sand, Pennington Bay is one of the hidden gems of Kangaroo Island.

Conveniently located a 20 minutes drive from both the ferry terminal and airport, the beach house is situated in over 50 acres of privately owned, pristine, heritage coastline land and provides you with absolute seclusion. You will think you are the only people on the island, yet a short walk through your own private sand dunes from the beach house and you arrive at the beach.

Accommodation comprises two spacious double bedrooms, one bathroom, well equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge. Please note, the bathroom is accessed through bedroom 2.

Our configuration is such that we are most suited to couples, families and lone travellers. We can only accommodate a maximum of 4 adults.

The property is off-grid with a combination of solar with back up battery power.

Please note there is an outside BBQ, and inside cook top/hob although no oven.

Food platters can be arranged either for your arrival, or during your visit with two weeks' notice.

Amazing location, the place has everything we need including amazing views, wallabies grazing around the property and a secret viewing deck which provided a different view of the Bay!! Fantastic communication by the host and they even made up a port-a-cot for our 7 month old. Would highly recommend and we look forward to returning again.

Allure is an amazing property with an ideal location. It is very clean and very comfortable and allows you to feel at home away from home. You feel you have the island to yourself and after a busy days travel you can relax into the surroundings. Warm fires, great vistas, ambience for days on end, and wildlife abounds. We loved it and our kids loved it too.Thank you, Allure for making the end of our travels an absolute delight.

I've messaged you separately to see if there are any specific things we can do to push us up into a 5* rating and hoping there wasn't anything that detracted from your visit. Hope you had a great trip to KI.

A lovely isolated property truly embedded in the wilderness of Kangaroo Island. There is good wifi connectivity, the cooking is a little restricted bc of the reliance on solar power, so there's a gas stove but no oven. Otherwise all comforts of modern life are there. The payoff is a magnificent outlook onto the southern coast, and a wildlife-filled garden that was a bird-watcher's dream!

Thanks for leaving such a lovely review Kath, we are so pleased you enjoyed the bird spotting...we are lucky that so many come to visit. Pleased also that you felt you had all of your home comforts - we do try, despite being off-grid & reliant on solar and rain water.....some compromises need to be made, but like you, we feel the payoff is worth it. Hope we can welcome you back in the future.

This property is idyllic, tucked away up a track with 50 acres of land. The house has beautiful views to the sea and a private track to an almost deserted beach. The deck round the property means there are places to sit in or out of the sun. We particularly enjoyed the water bowl which attracted lots of different birds and kangaroos and wallabies in the evening. I highly recommend.
