Guest Reviews
- Patricia (10/5): Quintessential Australian bush experience ! - Centered in the middle of wildlife. We had a fantastic meal all while watching Roos playing right out our window!! Peter and Betty were so knowledgeable , and thoughtful with extra touches to make our stay comfortable . Peaceful with nature .
- Martin (10/5): - Tolle Lage mitten in der Natur. Viele Kangaroos auf dem Grundstück und auch Echidnas waren anzutreffen. Das Ferienhaus ist sehr durchdacht eingerichtet und hat alles was man für einen kurzen Aufenthalt benötigt. Die Gastgeber Peter und Betty haben uns sehr herzlich empfangen und die Kommunikation war einwandfrei, schnell und einfach. Tolles Frühstück inkl. frischem Brot.
- Bruce (8/5): could not have asked for anything more. great location, great wild life, great hosts, comfortable - Breakfast was Continental but included lots of extras like home baked bread, fresh eggs. Location was beautiful and great access to the western part of the island. everything was great
- Debra (10/5): We were amazed at the wildlife around our beautiful property. It was except - Stunning location . Welcoming host . Beautiful property. Wildlife Nothing
- Doreen (9/5): Wedgetaildown was a little haven of peace and comfort and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thsnk you Peter and Betty. - Peter and Betty were the epitome of welcoming hosts - very friendly and helpful - which made our stay all the more enjoyable. Loved the provision of home-made bread and breakfast basket, along with a lovely bottle of wine. Due to its secluded location (which we loved) and not wanting to venture out on the roads after dark in case we encountered the wildlife, perhaps a small oven or microwave to heat up meals would work?
- Vanessa (10/5): A wonderful experience at the Wedgetaildown! 🤗 - Peter and Betty are very accommodating and the property was exquisite. The sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking. Thank you Peter and Betty for your generous hospitality.
- 158alexandre (10/5): - La qualité de l’hébergement pour son confort et ses équipements.
La qualite de l’emplacement, parfait pour découvrir les essentiels de ki.
La propriété remarquablement bien entretenue, au milieu d’une faune et d’une flore impressionnantes.
Et pour finir la qualité de l’accueil par Peter et Betty, d’une gentillesse incroyable, accessibles tout en étant discrets, avec de petites attentions très appréciées.
Sûrement l’un des meilleurs souvenirs de notre voyage en Australie que nous n’avons pas encore terminé. .
Nous avons adoré.
Merci Peter et Betty L’absence de chauffage en hiver, mais compensé par la cheminée qui finalement à donner tout son charme à notre séjour.
Tout était parfait I
- Silvia (10/5): Peter e Betty sono persone eccezionali, ospitali e incredibilmente disponibili. Hanno realizzato una struttura straordin - Struttura molto accogliente e dotata di tutto il necessario per rendere l’esperienza indimenticabile.
Pulizia impeccabile e host super disponibili e attenti ad offrire un servizio di qualità elevatissima. Niente
- Deirdre (10/5): A genuine bush retreat without having to rough it. - What a fantastic spot to come home to at the end of an amazing day taking in the sights and sounds of Kangaroo Island. Bright and spacious with great bushland views and a very comfy bed! Wedgetaildown was exactly what we were looking for. Betty and Peter were wonderful hosts.
- Dennis (10/5): Wedgetaildown is a spot of an unmatched combination of wildlife experiences, solitude and beauty. - Wedgetaildown is an extraordinary destination. The accommodation may be the best VRBO/AirBnB we have ever stayed in. It is a perfect size for one or two people. The unit is lovely inside, with very comfortable furniture and beautiful artwork, and with huge windows looking out over the wild property. The unit is perfectly appointed and supplied. Although it attached to the main house, you wouldn't know it as the rammed-earth walls prevent any noise transmission, as well as keeping the room cool in summer. We found the kitchen to be well designed, and it had everything that we could want, including a delicious basket of breakfast food. The shower was delightful, and there was a washing machine, which came in very handy! We did not like that we had to leave. We could have happily stayed for weeks.
- Jane (10/5): Stay was just perfect for our needs and property exceeded expectations. - Property was in a great location, centrally located for everything we wanted to experience whilst on Kangaroo Island. The accommodation was spacious, stylishly furnished and spotlessly clean. Facilities and amenities were very thoughtfully considered - we wanted for nothing.
We saw many kangaroos and echidna from the accommodation window - wildlife heaven!
Would highly recommend and if we are fortunate enough to return to Kangaroo Island, we would 100% stay there again. Nothing to dislike
- A (8/5): Relaxing and central location to enjoy the island - The bed was luxurious and the sheets so soft It was stifling hot without aircon on a couple of really hot days
- Roger (9/5): A peaceful idyllic location, great place to unwind -
- Rainer (10/5): Comfortable holiday in the middle of Kangaroo Wildlife - This accommodation is a paradisiacal place in the middle of nature with ever-present wild animals.
The hosts Betty and Peter provide guests with all the important tips and things they need to live comfortably in the flat, including delicious provisions for breakfast for the first few days.
The tastefully and fully furnished flat impresses with many small details. Everything has been thought of here! It is ideal for a couple and offers plenty of privacy for a relaxing holiday.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas hob (without oven) and lots of utensils. The hobby chef will not be left wanting. The bed has a soft surface on which we slept comfortably.
The days we spent in this accommodation were a highlight of our trip to Australia. Many thanks to the hosts.
. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
- Sharon (10/5): Experience of a lifetime at glorious Wedgetaildown. - When we first saw Wedgetaildown on-line it seemed too good to be true!
Well, it is real, and it is magnificent. Few places have such a lasting affect as this.
Dear Betty and Peter, the perfect hosts, with friendliness, helpfulness and kindness in abundance. From the home baked bread, to wine, and chocolate gifts, and simply their lovely conversation. Their vision, and the work they do here for wildlife and nature, and for its future, is awesome. Thank you.
The accommodation is just wonderful. So much thought and detail has gone into it, to make it the perfect stay. Whilst you are remote, there are all the modern comforts of home and more, with the bonus of real nature outside. Say hello to the Kangaroos every morning and evening, as you sit outside absorbing the raw beauty of this place and the glorious sunrises and sunsets. Not forgetting the Goannas, Koalas, and abundant birdlife
Centrally located on the island which makes it very good for visiting the rest of glorious Kangaroo Island. The night sky is simply breath-taking. Staying here, was a privilege, and one we will never forget. Only negative was that we were foolish enough not to have booked a longer stay.
- John (8/5): Peaceful escape on Kangaroo Island - Peaceful location. Lovely hosts that respect your privacy. Lovely breakfast hamper that came in handy. Dirt road access, but that also has its charm.
- Matteo (10/5): Peter and Betty are fantastic and pamper you with a thousand attentions. place where you feel at home. truly recommended - The accommodation is in the center of the island, immersed in wild nature! Peter and Betty have a piece of paradise.
- Kathleen (10/5): Beautiful accomodation set in a great location. - Peter and Betty were lovely hosts. The B&B is set in a beautiful spot, great for relaxing after a busy day exploring the island, we enjoyed watching the stars at night and spotting the wildlife. The accomodation is very spacious and comfortable, kitchen is well equipped, plenty of provisions for breakfasts. I loved sitting by the window in the evening to watch the kangaroos and fairy wrens graze in the clearing. WiFi is very quick as well. The B&B is in an rural location, but the directions to get there are detailed and there are plenty of signs. Lots of wildlife on the roads at night, so if you're a nervous driver or less experienced with country driving be sure to get back to the B&B before nightfall. The location in the center of the island made day trips to the rest of the island very easy, most places are 30mins drive away. We will definitely be back again, it was the perfect place to spend a week on KI.
- Glenda (9/5): Superb - Great location and perfect for unplugging. No.other guests share the property. Perfect for couples Nothing
- Christopher (8/5): peaceful and full of nature - relaxing
- Monique (10/5): Perfect Location with Exceptional Hosts, Exceeded All Expectations. - We stayed at Wedgetaildown (on Kangaroo Island) for three nights but wish it could have been longer. We arrived near dusk and were immediately captivated by the wildlife that greeted us as we proceeded down the long drive to the property. Peter and Betty are terrific hosts and extremely knowledgeable of Kangaroo Island. They went above and beyond to make our island experience more than we could have imagined, helping us refine our itinerary, recommending restaurants, and providing numerous other insights. We enjoyed feeling their passion for the island and its wildlife. Inside, the guesthouse was very spacious and clean, fully up-to-date and sustainable, and contained everything we needed to feel at home, with an ample supply of breakfast food to use at our convenience. The guesthouse is located on a large, open, quiet, majestic property teaming with kangaroos that entertained us each morning and evening; yet it is still centrally located making the entire island very accessible. For example, we were able to visit Seal Bay to the South, Flinders Chase National Park to the West, Stokes Bay and Kingscote to the North, and American River and Penneshaw to the East – and we still had time to walk, explore, and experience their expansive Wedgetaildown property and gaze well into the night at the most star filled sky we had ever seen. We highly recommend Wedgetaildown as your base of operations for experiencing Kangaroo Island.
A couple clarifications worth noting from the current Booking.com general description: 1)The property is located on Kangaroo Island, 2) There is One spacious/private Guesthouse accommodation, Not multiple guest rooms. Everything was Wonderful!
- Adam (10/5): Exceptional -
- Claudio (8/5): Very good -
- Liam (10/5): Exceptional -
- Simon (10/5): Exceptional - Truly wonderful location and great eco-friendly accommodation, beautifully designed and fitted out - the log burner was a welcome treat on a cold night. Our hosts were so kind and helpful, with a lovely welcome pack. Then there were the kangaroos, echidnas, cockatoos and of course wedgetailed eagles to keep us company - heaven!
- Pietro (9/5): If you’re looking for a peaceful relaxing getaway then this is the place for you - Wood Fire place . Nature at our doorstep. luxury accommodation. Comfortable bed. A small microwave would have been useful.
