• Veltmeyer (10/5): We loved it! - The view from the balcony towards the bay is amazing. The house is beautiful and has everything you need. We loved going for walks around the street and towards the water in the afternoons, and the little cafe on the waters edge makes great coffee!
• Grazyna (10/5): -
• Gemma (9/5): Wonderful accommodation with a great host. - The property has an amazing decking area with a lovely view over Emu Bay. The kitchen is very well set up and is stocked with everything you would need to be able to cook a full meal. The property was very clean and the host Christine communicated well and was helpful. The large bed was very comfortable and bed linen was good quality. It would be helpful if this property had a clothes dryer as well as a washing machine. Main area has a split system air conditioner but bedrooms don't. Split systems in the bedrooms would be great for both winter and summer.
• Lindsay (9/5): Excellent place to enjoy the delights of KI. Comfortable, well appointed, lovely gardens & views. - Great views of Emu Bay, lovely garden, comfortable setup for a family (we were two couples). Facilities clean and in good repair. Some of the pots and pans getting to replacement time. Wasn’t a big deal.

We will definitely be back next year Having to leave
• Asmita (9/5): Perfect place home away from home while on holiday. - Very cozy and comfortable. Felt like home. Very convenient for self content kitchen. Nil
• Pankit (10/5): Beautiful house. Lovely views. - Beautiful views in a quiet neighborhood. Felt straight at home. The house had every tiny detail taken care off and you could see the amount of effort that was put in to decorate this beautiful house. Easy and effortless check-in and check out. The host was happy for us to check in an hour early as our ferry was a bit early. Great location to explore the island from. Would definitely recommend it to others. Nothing at all :)
• Sarah (10/5): Unterkunft mit Wow-Faktor! - Das Apartment hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen! Die Aussicht von der Terrasse ist einfach sensationell. Die Unterkunft ist super mit dem Auto erreichbar, Parkplätze sind vorhanden, die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war super und unkompliziert (man bekommt sogar viele sehr hilfreiche Tipps, um Kangaroo Island zu erkunden), die Küche war bestens ausgestattet und es gab sogar kleine Willkommenspräsente. Wir konnten hier sehr zur Ruhe kommen und können eine Übernachtung hier wärmstens empfehlen.

• Sofiia (10/5): -
• Lum-hall (10/5): The Whitehouse was lovely to stay and it was very relaxing and comfortable. - It had a stunning view and could see the sunset rise when having breakfast. The location was very convenient and easy to get to the shops within the 15 mins driving. NA
• FABIENNE (9/5): Très agréable, je recommande ! - Vue exceptionnelle. Koalas dans les arbres de la rue en bonus! C'était l'hiver et la maison était plutôt froide. Heureusement des des chaufferette électriques étaient disponibles. C'est le seul point négatif sur je peux relever.
• Winsome (10/5): Wonderful place to stay - Not applicable
• John (7/5): OK for what we needed for our holiday - Great location, roomy, good kitchen Shower in ensuite dripped constantly, doors difficult to open & shut, ineffective heating outside of main lounge, house generally a bit tired

• Cathy (9/5): Great location to explore KI - Great location and setup well with everything needed for a self-contained stay. Would be a fantastic space for two small families. Balcony overlooking the bay was great for breakfast!
• Yesha (8/5): Great house with beautiful views - The house is beautiful with amazing views and everything is there at the property. It's home away from home. Christine is a great host and goes above and beyond for your requests. Few things - there are no Aircon's in bedroom, shower pressure not great and we ran out of hot water on our last day. Other than that the house itself is exceptional
• Margaret (9/5): Highly recommend - Very spacious. Gorgeous view. Fully equipped kitchen. one street bck from the beach
• Janki (9/5): A wonderful getaway! - Excellent location, very neat and clean. Fully equipped kitchen and lots of activities for kids too.
• Kirsten (10/5): Peaceful beach side stay - Views were beautiful, house was beautiful, had everything needed for a longer stay. Loved that the garden attracted so much birdlife to watch whilst eating breakfast on the balcony. Would highly recommend this property. Could not get the stove to work no matter how hard I tried.
• Inge (10/5): Very enjoyable would love to come back - Well equipped , great location , nice decor , amazing deck !
• Rob (8/5): Great place to stay on the Island - Location and View N/A
• John (7/5): Good -
• Tinydancer (9/5): Special house, special island - Large, airy, comfortable accommodation that feels like home in the most beautiful and tranquil part of the island.
• Slade (10/5): We will be back! - The view, the garden, the house, everything! nothing not to like
• Francesco (9/5): Superb - The house is huge and was perfect for our numerous group. The view is stunning, facing Emu bay in a breathtaking location. The kids loved also the trivia games available and enjoyed the space as if they were home. We also used the BBQ and enjoyed the outside The pantry was invaded with ants due to previous lack of cleanse of the kitchen mats. We had to spray and clean everywhere to put it back to normality
• Janne (10/5): Sea views were better than expected. - I don't understand what the last smile face means Just a minor thing, the hot water pressure was very low
• Megan (10/5): Wonderful holiday - Excellent location. Beautiful, clean house.
• Linda (10/5): A beautiful house that you would want to come back to. - When we arrived it was late at night so we didn't know what to expect except that the house was so spacious and well appointed. When we awoke the next morning we saw that we had views right out to Emu Bay - just breathtaking. The garden was lovely and as we were to find out had baby Fairy Penguins in it - not that we ever saw them but we heard the mothers/fathers feeding them! There was absolutely nothing to complain about regarding this property.
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
• Minyan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Trish (10/5): Lovely relaxing stay in a beautiful location. - Beautiful location with lots of wildlife. The house had everything we needed for our stay. The fresh bread on arrival was a lovely surprise.
• Lesley (9/5): A wonderful relaxing short stay. - The location was perfect for us. On a quiet street the house has a lovely rear raised veranda with a wonderful view of the bay and out to sea. A short 5 minute walk to the beach and only 15 minutes from Kingscote for foody needs. Central for other attractions. The house was very clean, the bed in the main bedroom comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. A home from home. Ideal for a two family holiday with plenty of space. The heaters in the bedrooms are a good idea for the cooler months. The penguins. Perhaps a new sliding door on the en suite bathroom which is a little small. The present one is difficult to open as it doesn't roll well and it's loud when you do get it to close. We had to leave it open overnight which is not good for privacy even when you're a couple :) Front door lock a bit of a challenge too. Otherwise all good.

• Bill (8/5): Very good -
• Hao (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chloe (9/5): Superb -
• Samantha (8/5): Very good - there was no air conditioning in the bedrooms, just fans. And we happened to arrive in a heat wave of 40plus degrees Celsius.
• Christine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joanne (9/5): Fantastic location and all that was needed for a great stay - Location excellent Everything there that was needed As a gardener, height of bushes could be reduced to fully appreciate the fantastic view Garden could do with a general tidy up
• Janelle (9/5): Superb -
• Kathleen (10/5): Wonderful - The house was terrific, beds were very comfortable. Two living areas was very handy.
• Anthony (8/5): great property ,great location.. well priced. Definitely needs more linen etc for a 5 day stay - a beautiful property that really needs attention, the garden hasn't been touched in months and that alone really spoils the property. Very overgrown and outside has been ignored.
• Jaci (10/5): beautiful holiday house for bigger groups. loved the extra effort put in by Christine, warm fresh bread delivered, wine - beautiful views, great facilities and close to everything on the island.
• Annie (10/5): Clean, comfortable, well equipped home with fabulous views. - The Whitehouse is a spacious, comfortable, clean, well equipped home in a great location with a fabulous view. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home to anyone travelling to Kangaroo Island. Our only disappointment was that there is so much to do on Kangaroo Island, our stay wasn't long enough to have time to just relax and enjoy the comforts and views of the house. We definitely needed more than 3 nights.
• Tricia (10/5): Very happy with our stay, it was exactly what we hoped for. Great location for exploring the island and perfect for rela - Great views. Very clean, comfortable couches. Loved the fresh bread and bottle of wine left for us. Would be fabulous in the warmer weather and being able to take advantage of the great deck and outdoor garden Got a little cold at night with no heating in the main bedroom, but there was extra blankets and an electric blanket so it wasn’t terrible.
• Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - View was amazing, proximity to beach was excellent. Bed was really comfortable. Kitchen was well equiped. Wine and food left for us by hosts was lovely.
• Peter (6/5): The House is dated , and needs some simple maintenance, - The view. The Kitchen accessories. The lack of information on how to use the heating and other appliances
• Susan (7/5): Enjoyed the stay, would not book this home again. Photos of home need to be updated. Disappointed with the home. - Views over the bay was great. Spectacular sunrises Home is in need of maintenance. Some doors, particularly front and en-suite bathroom very hard to open. Was not able to use en-suite door. Notes were on wall in laundry to keep the garage door closed as mice can get in. Did not think it was value for money.
• Michael (8/5): Happy stay - Great house. Comfortable and well equipped with a great outlook. Nothing to speak of.
• Lea (10/5): Lovely home where you can relax and enjoy the view after enjoying what KI offers. - We liked everything. Warm, comfortable, everything was as expected. In fact it was better than we expected. We loved the fresh warm bread that was delivered to us just after our arrival! There was nothing to fault.
• Karen (10/5): Great location - Great location well appointed really good base to explore the island. Info prior to arrival was thorough. Appreciated the KI produce left for us. House requires a little maintenance but otherwise a great property
• Milton (8/5): KI Retreat - Well furnished and equipped. Location was handy to Kingscote and some other features on east side. Noise from penguins nesting next door. No dryer in premises.
• John (10/5): Warm cosy house in a winter stay. we loved it. - Loved the Whitehouse. Great views and amenities. Loved the welcome basket and the thoughtful and homely touches. We were surprised at how far away Emu Bay was but that was our poor research.
• Helen (9/5): Superb -
• Lesley (9/5): Outstanding property overlooking Emu Bay - fantastic location overlooking Emu Bay. Well equipped and comfortable property with separate living areas to accommodate family needs. Lovely verdant garden at rear of property attracts birds and wildlife. The old electric hot plates are difficult to manage when preparing a meal. We found both the key safe and the front door difficult to open. The latter has 2 locks that must be both opened and then requires a significant push to open. Once mastered all good.

• Maureen (9/5): Superb -
