Welcoming Cottage and fantastic stay

My family and I were lucky enough to stay at this wonderful cottage during our stay on Kangaroo Island. We were only sad we could not stay the whole time as the property was booked. The cottage is wonderfully laid out with bedrooms aplenty - allowing the kids space and us an area to relax. The setting is beautiful with birds that visit each morning. We had bikes and went for rides along the shoreline that is only a short way. We will be back to stay on this wonderful Island and would love to stay in Seaside Garden Cottages again

A heavenly escape

The property exceeded our expectations again (this was our second stay in over 12 months). The newly renovated bathrooms and flooring are just gorgeous, beautifully air conditioned and the most comfortable beds and pillows. We didn’t venture out much (except to the local Cactus cafe for breakfast) and to the pizza cafe (both only about 5 mins drive from the accommodation). There is so much to do just at the property. BBQ, relaxing with a book on the patio, sitting in the garden having a wine etc. It is just so relaxing and the decor is just stunning. We cooked most nights and there is a fully equipped kitchen with EVERYTHING you could possibly need. Everything has been thought about at this property. The orgaanic bee farm “living honey” was my favourite this time with a private tour by the owner who answered all my questions. I know why this property is so heavily booked out - it is a rare gem and we will be back again. Thank you Rachel for all your help with our holiday it was just so relaxing!

Comfortable, Clean and Great Quality

Firstly, Kangaroo Island was amazing and we can't wait to return for a longer stay next time. This property was perfect in every regard and the bed was so comfortable, which is one of the most important things to me when travelling, in fact the main bedroom is gorgeous and has a nice little sitting area. Decor was tastefully styled, in fact everything was done so well done and really clean and fresh. Appreciated the additional towels and all the extras that were left out for us - even things like having luggage racks was good. I would certainly recommend this cottage and the owner was so helpful giving us lots of ideas for things to do. Location was really good with the main street a few minutes away by car and convenient for getting supplies / meals.
