• Lilly (10/5): The property surprised me with a Vow factor - I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property. The property is located in a serene, quiet area right next to a beautiful lake, and it’s surrounded by kangaroos, which was such a delightful surprise! The location is also very convenient, just a short drive away from the ferry point. The house itself is super tidy and cozy, with a lovely fireplace that adds a warm touch. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need, and the bedroom is incredibly comfortable. Plus, the hosts were very thoughtful and considerate throughout the stay. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

• Joanne (10/5): Magical. Stunning. Beautiful. Peaceful. Perfect. - Location was 15 min drive to both Penneshaw and Kingscote. Quiet, secluded and surrounded by kangaroos and wildlife on the shores of Pelican Lagoon. Fully equipped house with everything you can think of included. Outside area to have meals or just watch the kangaroos. A house that felt more like a home. Leaving :(

• Karen (9/5): relaxing , surrounded by kangaroos and nature - secluded beautiful lagoon views , lots of wildlife to view from windows
• Jessica (10/5): private paradise with kangaroos and pelicans - This property is even better than the photos suggest. The private land is stunning, with a unique rock strewn landscape with many local kangaroos living around the house and different views across the beautiful lagoon. The house is very comfortable and the verandah looking out across the water the perfect place to have American river oysters and glass of islander Chardonnay. The kids loved it too and it was very hard to leave! great location for exploring kangaroo island.
• Christian (9/5): Awesome stay ! - Exceptional location on the Pelican Lagoon, with no neighbours except for the kangaroos. Absolutely quiet. It is a very well equipped, spacious, comfortable and absolutely charming old house. The host, Kate, was very accommodating (ferry cancelled due to bad weather, the host contacted Booking not to charge us for the missing night). Nothing !
• Jodi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sdretired (10/5): Well appointed home in a wonderful location - Large well appointed house in a beautiful location on Pelican Lake with a resident mob of kangaroos. Even though she was away, the owner organised to have a portable heater delivered when a sudden cold snap hit and one of the bedrooms was not getting the benefit of the heating in the living area. As the house can comfortably sleep 8 people, an additional toilet would have been nice.
• Matthew (9/5): Superb -
• Frank (10/5): Incredible! - The house is incredible, warm, comfy and spacious. The surrounds are breath-taking, quiet and awe-inspiring. There's nothing to not like about the place. I'd rather say I hated it and no one visits and we can keep it for ourselves but it's too good not to share. The house is well equipped with everything and anything you could ask for. It was an unbelievable stay at the cottage and we will most definitely be back. Nothing!
