Brett's Rest Nel

Bretts Nest Nel WOW what a place Close and convenient to Kingscote, KIBrewery, the town and Emu Bay the list goes on It was peaceful but lovely to hear the blue wrens singing in nearby bushes Chase Brett's dog was fun to have around as I was missing mine It was clean and comfortable with everything we needed after a long drive from WA The projector screen was a highlight and amazing to watch the tennis final on it had great speakers to listen to our music from Brett was a friendly, respectful host who would have gone out of his way if needed to make our stay there perfect I look forward one day coming back to sit around the fire and take time to look at the stars Karee

We really enjoyed how secluded yet still close to the town it was. Overall it was great, clean and comfortable and the projector was a real treat. Communication with Brett was excellent. Thanks for a lovely stay ☺️

The location was great for exploring the rest of Kangaroo Island.

I recently stayed at Brett's Rest Nel accommodation with my two young children and best friend during the school holidays. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of our expectations. The lack of air conditioning made the house unbearable during the scorching summer temperatures. Despite an earlier check-in, the sweltering heat made it impossible to find respite inside. The provided cooler was insufficient, and we were advised to use it sparingly. Privacy was compromised due to the owner's permanent caravan being located within 10 meters of the cabin. It felt like we were constantly being watched. Additionally, the neighboring cabin further diminished any sense of privacy. Cleanliness was a major concern. The property was not adequately cleaned, leaving us feeling uncomfortable. The blinds did not work, and there was an exposed window in the kitchen facing the owner's living quarters. Furthermore, I found it inconsiderate that the owner knocked on the door at 9pm, despite knowing that we had two young children, one of them being an infant. This disrupted our evening routine and caused unnecessary disturbance. While there were some positive aspects, such as the owner's friendly dog and the property being advertised as pet-friendly, the lack of a fenced area required us to board our dog at a veterinary clinic. In conclusion, the uncomfortable living conditions, lack of privacy, inadequate amenities, and the inconsiderate late-night disturbance overshadowed any positive aspects. Potential guests should be aware of these shortcomings before booking. The owner should address the issues mentioned to improve the overall quality of the property for future guests. Regrettably, I cannot recommend Brett's Rest Nel accommodation based on my experience. I hope this review serves as constructive feedback for the owner to make necessary improvements.

Quiet and relaxed stay at Brett’s. Convenient location, as it was a 10 minute drive into Kingscote. On our arrival, Brett made us comfortable by giving us a tour around the house and showing us how to watch tv on the amazing big screen and use the sound system! Brett was always willing to go above and beyond for any of our needs. Living close by, he would often check in daily to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Brett’s dog lives also on the property, very friendly and was always wondering over to check out what we were up to. Cooking facilitates were all catered for. A man’s cave, generally in good condition.

The location was excellent - a nice, big house to stay in, along with a movie screen. The host was also really nice, as was the dog, who was always enthusiastic about playing with the ball! Really great experience!

Due to the house being situated in the countryside (rural area), we need conserve water as water is supplied from a rainwater tank. This was a very different experience from urban living, and not necessarily a bad thing.

Located at a very peaceful location and close proximity to waterfront and shops. The bar, music system and the projector screen and of course Chase (the resident Blue Healer and helper) Brett is an excellent host…we will visit again!

Great projector, open room and great kitchen. Great location as well!

The property is very peaceful. We woke up to the birds singing. Brett was very helpful and was determined to make our stay enjoyable.

It was windy while we were there and the projector screen flaps a bit when windy.
