Guest Reviews
- Peter (8/5): - Location facilities size and kitchen was amazing. Main bed was not overly comfortable. TV was a big challenge to work out.
- James (9/5): - Location, quiet, great for pets.
- Jenny (8/5): Fabulous view across the bay, comfortable, tidy & clean. - Extremely well equipped kitchen supplies appreciated. Plenty of plates etc
- Sharon Michelle (10/5): Beautify location with ocean view and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. - Lovely home with beach view. Well equipped. No Breakfast included but would be good for the price. More affordable for a big family as we only had 3 people. When we went to cook on the BBQ at 7:30pm it was dirty and I had to clean it then when I went to light it both bottles were empty and it cost us $41 for a replacement which we left there.
- annette (10/5): It was marvelous - Ocean views
- Jeff (9/5): Overall, very nice - Location across from water One toilet
Bunk bed room too narrow and blocky
Closet shelf n bunk room broken
- Kathy (9/5): Overall wonderful! - Location and interior decor is lovely Need more comfortable beds
- Val (10/5): -
- Lynda (8/5): - Lovely outlook over the bay Beds were not really comfortable
- Susan (5/5): - Good position Needed updating, over cluttered and mix of old furniture.
Weather was unfortunately cold, heaters provided were inadequate
- Douglas (10/5): - Beach front location Toilet exhaust fan very noisy
- John (10/5): - . Excellent location. The beach was right across the street. We could walk into town but easy access to island roads. Great kitchen.
- Jillian (9/5): Beautiful outlook and relaxing stay. - The view in lounge room was beautiful across the bay, outdoors setting same fabulous view. Very comfortable and relaxing space. Easy 1km walk to town. Loved our time at Bay View. Would have been excellent had there been a second bathroom.
- Corinne (10/5): Superbe maison très confortable et avec une vue magnifique sur la mer (juste de l’autre côté d’une petite route peu pass - L’emplacement face a la mer, belle grande maison très spacieuse avec un joli jardin. Il y absolument tout ce qu’il faut pour y séjourner, vraiment très bien équipée. Un seul linge de douche (par personne) de taille pas très grande. On aurait apprécié un 2e petit linge par exemple pour se sécher les cheveux.
- david (9/5): Great stay, but got cut short because of the Sealink cancelling because of the weather. - Convenient to everything. Quiet and plenty of room. No undercover outdoor area. The deck could be semi covered maybe. It was raining but still warm enough to sit outside. The bbq needs attention. At the mercy of Sealink. Weather changed and had to make a dash to get across a day earlier. Should be some sort of clause for refund?
- Anna (10/5): Great stay perfect place on Kangaroo Island . We feel in love with this amazing island - The house was in a fantastic location, beautifully clean with everything we needed.
- Gaynor (10/5): Spectacular house in Kingscote with stunning views - It was immaculate
Location was spectacular
Hosts very easy
- MONICA (9/5): BOOK IT! - Beautiful location, stunning view, great hosts…you wont regreat it! - Very good location and comfortable. Very clean and awesome view. Big back yard kid and pet friendly. The hosts shared great information, quick to reply and very friendly. Nothing really, its very nice. We would love to come back in summer. Maybe just the mattress in the main room needs an upgrade.
- hargreaves (10/5): -
- Diane (10/5): Kingscote-a good base - Beautiful decor and view.
Fully equipped kitchen and laundry.
Bedroom warmand cosy and bed comfy.
Nice secure yard for dog. The TV reception wasn't great, but we didn't spend a lot of time home anyway.
- Peter (8/5): A great stay thanks - Location and size Double bed not so comfy and CB main tv needs replacement
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (9/5): Superb -
- Deb (9/5): Lovely for first time on Kangaroo Island. Nothing to far if you have your car. - Very well appointed. Very suitable as we were there in very, very hot weather and it is just over the road to the beach. Rubbish bins were very full. A few fly wires missing.
- Helen (9/5): Superb - Comfortable and cosy
- Palasara (9/5): Beautiful Baywater house - The location was absolutely stunning. Dining outside and enjoying the sunrise from the sofa was an unforgettable experience. The house was beautifully decorated and truly a gem. The cutlery and a few other minor items appeared old and dusty. However, the overall positive aspects of the stay outweighed the minor drawbacks.
- Laura (10/5): amaizing - i like evething about , the views, the space , all stuff what we needed the property has
- Nikki (9/5): Such a beautiful location - We loved virtually everything about this place, and the location was absolutely incredible!!! We will stay here again in the future! The bed in the main bedroom was a bit hard, but that's a personal preference more than anything.
- Paul (8/5): Baywater beauty - The location, and the view was fantastic. The large deck overlooking the water was the perfect spot for a drink at the end of a day sightseeing The pressure pump for the water kept coming on during the night because the toilet seal was leaking. Something that I'm sure will be easily rectified
- Elaine (7/5): Terrific location with lovely ocean views, great dog-friendly accommodation! - Great location within walking distance to facilities in Kingscote, spacious living area with large windows providing lots of natural light and ocean views plus a large securely fenced back yard for our dog to run around. We felt that the property could be elevated to the next level with the following suggestions: 1) provide a few basic pantry staples, eg salt, pepper, oil, coffee pods, milk, laundry liquid 2) remove all damaged/duplicated cooking utensils/pots and pans etc. - less is more! 3) screen door to back needs gas ram - kept swinging backwards 4) keep filter in reverse cycle unit clean as we froze for the first 2 nights until we cleaned it! 5) check windows/screens in main bedroom as we were bombarded by mosquitoes every night! 6) install gate to deck and driveway to make property even more dog friendly!
- Alexandra (8/5): Great house, good location, secure backyard for the dog. - Great location - 15 mins walk into Kingscote. Large house with well equipped kitchen with all utensils that we needed & a great laundry room with washer & dryer. You do need to bring cooking essentials like oil & also laundry liquid and there is an IGA in Kingscote for anything forgotten. Good sized enclosed back yard that our dog enjoyed running around in. Loved the electric blankets on the main bed - it was definitely needed! Quiet neighborhood and it felt secure. Beach was directly opposite but it was not the weather for it when we were there. It was cold when we were there (it was the middle of winter!) & it took a while to heat the living room - we kept the glass doors closed. The storage heaters in the bedroom took the chill out of the air but also took quite a while.
- Natalie (10/5): Exceptional - Was a great stay. Everything we needed there. Great location. Clean and spacious.
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - Beautifully furnished property in a stunning location! Our stay was very comfortable and relaxing.
- David (9/5): We loved our stay as we were very comfortable there. - Location, comfort, appliances, heaters & electric blankets. Would be better with a gate on the front porch to be truly dog friendly.
Didn't know there was a nespresso machine otherwise we could have taken some pods with us.
- Carol (8/5): Great spot, convenient to town, great holiday - Quiet location, good location Mattress needs updating
- Aimee (9/5): Superb -
- Simone (10/5): Exceptional - Location was amazing. Amazing views, short walk to good coffee. Would definitely stay again. The TV was really hard to work - we couldn't get channel 7 to watch the footy - the only free to air we could get was 9, other than thay it wanted you to login to apps. Instructions on how to navigate the TV would be welcomed.
- Susan (8/5): Felt comfortable and homey. Good for accessing different areas of the island. - We’ll appointed, spacious, good position Fan in toilet scary to children and wakes everyone at night. Toilet seat needs tightening. Bunk bed ladder was wobbly.
- Andrew (8/5): Very good -
- Sacha (10/5): was amazing - view, atmosphere, amazing
- Brian (9/5): Good location to use as travelling base - There was lots of room and the property was well equipped Beds weren't that comfortable and many windows were unable to be opened. Also, don't flush the toilet while someone else is having a shower or they'll get burnt - very dangerous
- Jill (7/5): A very relaxing and enjoyable visit. - The location was excellent. There was no breakfast. There were lots of crockery, pots and pans etc. The bunk bedroom was very small and the quilts smelt. We needed to air them. Perhaps a top sheet on the bed would help. Nothing to do with the property but the road signage was poor especially considering the number of tourists visiting. Maybe the council could be advised. The eating out options were limited on both Monday and Tuesday evenings.
- Sarah (10/5): Baywater KI - Perfect location and stunning views. The backyard could be a little more maintained.
- Sandra (10/5): Exceptional - Seaview
- Dawn (10/5): A perfect place to stay with everything a family could want. - Everything was perfect. We left shoes there and they were happy to post out. Nothing as it had everything you could want.
- Kaye (9/5): Enjoyable and comfortable, would happily recommend - Liked that the location was so close to the water and also close to the centre of town.Host had supplied heaps of amenities.Very comfortable! No complaints
- Amc (9/5): Great place. Had everything we needed. Good communication with manager. - View
Kitchen well equipped
Beds comfortable No mirrors in bedroom for hair drying.
- Cameron (9/5): Superb - Nicely decorated, well equipped house with relaxing outlook over the bay. A very comfortable base for touring Kangaroo Island. Garden a bit sad....and someone should empty the rubbish bins ( all stuffed full on our arrival)
- Janelle (8/5): Fabulous property. Would stay again. - The property had everything required for a great holiday. It was clean, beautifully decorated and great location. Needs a little work in the yard.
- Judy (9/5): Very relaxing - Clean, fresh and comfortable

- Tsz (8/5): Really good accommodation definitely recommend to fds n family - Environment
Facilities The toilet can better
- Dale (6/5): Great place, just needs a deep clean. - Lovely location - walking distance to Kingscote and the shops. Nice house, comfortable. Very well equipped kitchen. Nice contact who provided great info about visiting the island. I hate to say negative things about such a nice house however I think it could have done with a deep clean. Not sure if it was dust, pet dander or what but it set off son’s and my allergies and asthma. We were out all day and were fine but while I was in the house in the evening my sinuses streamed and it set off my asthma. My son was the same.
- Kaylene (9/5): spacious house with a beautiful view of the water - very comfortable house. well stocked for kitchenware. very spacious. very clean. we were at Kangaroo Island at a pretty cool time of the year. The house had air conditioning but initially, as the house was solid brick, it took awhile to warm up.
- Isabelle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Deb (8/5): This property is well equipped and very comfortable accommodation for 3 adults willing to share a bathroom and toilet al - Proximity to the main business centre of Kingscote while also affording great views across green space to the ocean. Very well equipped. Heating in every room. Although brilliantly equipped with EVERYTHING for the kitchen, to the point where there were doubles of some small appliances and utensils, there was little order in how they were organised/stored. Locating just what was needed was random good luck at the beginning of our stay.
- Stephen (9/5): a lovely house to stay for exploring KI - lovely location, very well equipped house. the beds we’re comfortable bathroom was a bit outdated
- Tim (10/5): Exceptional - The location and the cost atmosphere and was very well equiped Nothing
- Ken (8/5): We truly enjoyed our stay! - location
convenience
beachfront view nothing to dislike, only small details the place may need some touch ups/ slight improvement:
door frame outside looks a bit mouldy
the deck may need some polish
one of the bathroom heat lights is gone
wish bed mattress was more comfortable
- David (9/5): Superb - The house was spacious especially the lounge, kitchen and dining room were good sizes. The kitchen utensils and appliances were plentiful. We did not utilise the front deck due to inclement weather on day one. The deck, the lounge & dining room windows all face the sea.
The house was located within 1 kilometre of the Drake's supermarket and main street. Nothing adverse.
- Carmel (10/5): Great place to stay to enjoy the wonderful sights and attractions of Kangaroo Island. - Flexibility in arrival time was appreciated, especially with the current performance from the Airlines. This property had everything we needed and a great outlook across the water, walking distance to town and services. Spacious and well-equipped. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. N/A
- Anjin (6/5): Pleasant -
- Margaret (9/5): It was very relaxing - It’s a lovely location and the views were spectacular
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Couldn't ask for a better location next to the ocean. Great view
We were out most of our stay visiting the island so did not really use the house much but it was one of the best places ive stayed in over the years.
Very clean, very roomy and lots of space. Comfortable. All the amenities you could really need taken care of.
Would definately visit again...in fact I was here with my family who visited from Overseas and I'm already looking to stay here again with my partner next year

- Ben (7/5): Good -
- Bianca (10/5): Exceptional - The entire lay out. Only criticism would be no cupboard space for food.
- Kylie (9/5): Beautiful location over looking the bay. Great spacious house For families.Walking distance to shops - The location was excellent only a few minutes walk to shops and places to eat. The only thing that was missing was a baking dish. We didn’t have one to make a bake dinner.
- Huiyi (8/5): Very good - Good location, nice view for the house. Everything prepared.
- Megan (9/5): we spent 3 nights - it is a 45 minute drive from the ferry terminal. The only setback was the weather at times. - Fantastic view from all front windows and deck. A 15 minute stroll to shops and restaurants in Kingscote.
Everything you need for self catering. Was warm and cosy.
would be great for a family or two couples. nothing worth mentioning
