• Marjorie (10/5): Everything you need for a comfy stay. - Great location, highly walkable; well equipped, comfy bed Nothing
• CathyCee (10/5): - The home was absolutely perfect for our stay. Cooking and living equipment was quality and really stood out for me (love the scanpan items). Beds were extremely comfortable. Very quick in responding to queries and there was plenty of information on hand for local knowledge. The gift of Kangaroo Island Sticky Figs was beautiful.
• Mark (10/5): Delightful highly recommend - Perfect for getting around Heritage listed, full of charm
• Lachlan (10/5): -

• Kathryn (8/5): - Great location to coffee shops and food.
• Wendy (8/5): -
• Joe (10/5): views were stunning! quiet sunrise looking over water, watching seals - perfect -
• Oskar (10/5): - Everything!!! Gorgeous, spacious, clean house with the best sea view! Well stocked kitchen and such a lovely location on the edge of a small quaint village. We could walk for every thing we wanted. Gorgeous koala just around the corner was a bonus!! Highly recommend this house. Nothing!
• jeffrey (8/5): Lovely old house to stay on in. - Very clean, good location
• RENEE (10/5): -
• Lynette (9/5): Loved our stay in Kangaroo Island at Armadale House. Close to township & jetty. - A fabulous home to use as our base whilst touring Kangaroo Island. The oven took a bit longer than more modern ovens. We had to keep an eye on it.
• Claudia (9/5): La nostra scelta migliore - Casa silenziosa, accogliente, spaziosa, completa di tutti i comfort. I proprietari hanno messo a disposizione di tutto, qualsiasi attrezzo in cucina, la lavanderia, bagno fornito di tutto il necessario.
• Sean (9/5): -
• Peter (10/5): Charming central and cozy. - Such a charming cottage right in town but by the water. We loved it!
• Susan (9/5): A good central location to all sight on Kangaroo Island - The beautiful renovations of an historic property. Property was excellent .
• michelle (6/5): - Great position, and the house was much bigger than we thought it would be. Large rooms and comfy beds. Great place for large families although as it is a lovely old original house there is one bathroom to share. No working fireplaces. We arrived during a cold winter weekend and the house was freezing. The electric oil heating was adequate but it took hours to warm up the house so we were uncomfortable. The electric bed warmer didn't work either. Only two bath towels supplied for three people. Only one of the two heating lights worked in the bathroom. Brrrrrr.
• Linda (9/5): - Wonderful location, next door to a book and coffee shop and within walking distance to the centre of town and the jetty.
• Ron (9/5): Very enjoyable stay in a beautiful historic character property. - Very well equipped. Exceptionally clean and comfortable. Excellent position as we could walk everywhere in Kingscote. Nice wide driveway. Heaters in every room a bonus. Having a radio in the dining room was a nice touch so we could have music with our meals. We found it impossible to get any TV other than Free to Air. We would have liked to tune into our streaming accounts but the message always came up that the wifi was unstable. I tried many times and was always unsuccessful in my login attempts. The wifi seemed OK on my iPhone.
• Patricia (8/5): Very good - The location was excellent the house was spacious and well equipped, beds very comfortable. Very central, the Queen's Cliff was our go to restaurant. The view from the property was outstanding, especially the morning sunrise. We loved the proportions of the rooms. Lounge could only accommodate 6 adults, max! The shower was very tight and the water pressure could have been better. We were very disappointed with the heating as when we arrived the house was very cold, perhaps could have been on for a couple of hours before......only small individual heaters, not too effective for the first day.... Described as having air-conditioning/heating but only had one unit at the back of the property, not too effective for the rest of the house.
• Julia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sue (9/5): Superb -
• Lynda (7/5): We throughly enjoyed our stay at Armadale house. The location was awesome and the history behind the house was interesti - Lovely house in a great location, walking distance to all restaurants. Couch was very low and not comfortable. Wifi in back dining room doesn’t reach front lounge area even though there is a WiFi extended.
• Les (10/5): It was an absolute treat to stay at Armadale house, great location, facilities, plenty of room and well equipped - Armadale house is set in a great party of town, close to everything you will need. Very clean and equipped. Great to experience a bit of history. Just a lovely home and place to stay. Nothing to note here
• Jeremy (10/5): Awesome stay in central location, close to everything. Great base to explore the island -
• Tina (10/5): Very comfortable environment, the landlord recovers quickly and is easy to communicate with - Perfect accommodation . Nothing
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
• Peter (9/5): Superb - Very comfortable old historical home very spacious comfortable bed and great location nothing to dislike
• Larry (9/5): We would highly recommend Armidale House for a getaway on Kangaroo Island! Thanks. Larry and Deanna. - The property has so much character and the location is perfect as it’s an easy walk to town and across the road from the beach! The house is very spacious and would easily accomodate a family. It’s very well appointed and has everything you need as it’s self contained. It’s great!
• Thomas (10/5): Wonderful House makes for a great stay - This was my first trip to Australia, which I had been planning for awhile. However, at the last minute I invited my brother, who is not a seasoned traveller. I had to find a place in Kingscote that was well located for me, but also comfortable for his rookie travels. The Armadale house fulfilled all requirements, and then some. We stayed in six other locations in Australia, including Hiltons, and this was his favorite. This place is super comfortable, with parking, and was a dream to stay at. This is super affordable, too. I was lucky to have found this place.
• Ferne (10/5): A lovely historic house in the middle of town - We loved our stay here. Such history. Right in the middle of town and easy walk to tidal pools, beach, jetty, etc. House had everything we needed and was very comfortable. There was nothing to dislike!
• Jo (10/5): A beautiful, well situated property that has everything you need. - Gorgeous house filled with warmth and character. Perfect location to access everything you need within walking distance. Fans in bedroom were needed for hot nights, but on low they are still quite fat and noisy.
• Ross (10/5): Relaxing, comfortable and welcoming - Location to town was excellent, the cleanliness and open space of the home, yet appointed with all you could need. Very happy and will be back again for certain Nothing it was amazing
• Kerry (9/5): Superb -
• Matthew (9/5): Lovely period house on a fantastic island -
• Ml (10/5): Very comfortable stay - A fantastic house full of character with lots of space.
• Anne (9/5): Great place. Perfect to explore the island from there. - Fabulous location. Old character house was very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Only one bathroom with low water pressure in the shower.
• Kathryn (8/5): Fine - Location Internet poor/unusable in lounge room and front room
• Udara (9/5): Really nice holiday house in a great location - We liked the location, cleanliness, comfort and facilities. It’s a very spacious house with 3 bedrooms and a kitchen with all the utensils. Furthermore, the ease of access and the view from the house was advantageous. Two TVs and games make it good for kids as well. There was only one bathroom which needs a door lock. The water pressure is not very good but manageable. The wifi speed was very poor which needs to be improved. Other than that, the house looks amazing.
• Dan (8/5): Quaint and nostalgic place for the family to enjoy close to the best of Kingscote. - Fantastic location, charming accomodation. My 9 year old said it was just like visiting granny’s house. Seemed the property hadn’t been occupied in a little while.
• Richard (9/5): It was a great stay - The position was excellent and the property was very comfortable The internet did not work properly in the front of the house where the lounge was located
• Julian (9/5): Superb -
• Shuya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tina (10/5): Large house, Great location, comfortable beds, clean and tidy- will stay again. - Location. History of the house. Comfortable bed.
• Andrew (9/5): Great stay, enjoyed the heritage and older house feel. - Great location, easy to get to from ferry and into house. Good combination of older style for bedrooms and lounge and modern style for kitchen, dining, and bathroom. Plenty of room for the 2 of us, easy parking. Could do with better heating for the lounge. However, the beds had electric blankets, dining had reverse cycle air conditioner.
• Davidson (8/5): A lovely old home in a great location, would definitely stay again. - Just a very lovely & comfortable home to stay in. Views are wonderful & within walking distance to most everything in Kingscote. Shower pressure terrible. Wifi could do with a wifi extender, worked well in the kitchen but struggled in the front lounge room.
• Kathleen (9/5): Armadale House is in such a great location and it feels like a home with a lot of history. The owners have shown great c - Great location, plenty of room and very clean. Lovely to have a pantry with provisions. No complaints.
• Sandra (8/5): Great location across from the jetty. - A comfortable house that has everything we needed for our stay on Kangaroo Island.
• Edward (10/5): Exceptional - Very welcoming feel to the property and amazing location No faults.
• Danny (9/5): Superb - The location and the house itself. It's clean and everything we need is supplied. The only downfall is only one toilet and shower. But, the owner left a message of apology that due to the age of the house and the structure, it will be difficult to build another wet area. But suggested that across the road is a clean public toilet which can be used. Hmmm 🤔 🙄
• Kirrily (8/5): Lovely home with great views - Great position Shower head
• Lei (10/5): A good memory for the family holiday, wish we could have stayed longer. - I love the location, the history of the house, the cleanliness, and the bookshelf that had both history do the house and other book collections. It is located right next to a bookshop, and you can see the wharf and sea from the front window. There are seals at the jetty. And nice kitchen appliances. We enjoyed every part of our stay here. Nothing

• Bettyann (10/5): Amazing Armadale house Kingscote - Location, amazing house, beautifully presented I shower, 1 toilet but it was still a wonderful hpuse
• Julie (6/5): Could have been a great house - Large house with lots of space. Covered outdoor area was very useful. Parking was good. Good gas stove top Water pressure in the kitchen is great Internet only seems to work in the one dining room. Bed was not comfortable Sheets were some sort of polyester or something. The bedrooms and the lounge room have a very strong smell of old dust. The lounge suite has visible thick dust on it. The main bedroom has a fly screen so it was possible to sleep in that room but we stayed away from those rooms during the day as it’s overwhelming. Water pressure in the shower is miserable at best.
• Caroline (9/5): Fantastic house in great location. Very comfortable with all you need. - Heritage characteristics. Spacious rooms, well equipped kitchen and room. Extra touches for the family games etc. Internet not great.
• Casper (7/5): Great stay in Kingscote across from ocean in historic house. - Location across from bay, walking distance to shops. Large property with great covered outdoor area. Parking on the property. Large bedrooms. Beautiful stove. Historic info on house which is now 100 years old. The property was not very cozy as it was preserved in its old style. One bathroom/toilet for big group was tricky.
• Anonbob (10/5): Exceptional - Close to center of town , clean , amenties excellent ,very pleasant stay , credit to owners and will recomend Not long enough
• Paul (7/5): Perfect location, very clean and comfortable - Great location - 2 min walk to shops and jetty Older style house so the kitchen is at the other end of the house to the living room, but beautiful old house regardless
• Michael (9/5): Superb -
• Martin (10/5): Exceptional - Fabulous beautifully sympathetically renovated 100+ year house . We immediately felt at home . Lovely helpful hosts and we were grateful to be able to drop our baggage early . Having to leave .
• Rob (10/5): Exceptional - We were very satisfied with the house.. As there were 3 of us agreed.
• Joan (10/5): Great stay wish the weather had been warmer .Near to restaurants to good location - Great location and well stocked .Even electric blankets and it was cold . Nothing .It’s an old house but has character and us well equipped .
• Robyn (9/5): Very enjoyable - The beds were very comfortable Problem with getting hot water in the kitchen
• Nicole (9/5): A beautiful old home in an amazing location. - This is a beautiful old home in a wonderful location. We loved our stay and were sad to have to leave. It was a lovely surprise to find a seal across the road and we enjoyed watching him/her play in the water. The bookshop next door was also a nice surprise. The cottage had everything we needed and more. It wasn't a problem for us as a family of 4, but the bathroom set-up might be a bit tricky for a bigger group (just one bathroom with the toilet in there too) and the plumbing was a little erratic! All completely manageable and not a big issue in the grand scheme of things.
• Alan (10/5): Great holiday house - The location gave sea views from the master bedroom and living room. It was very well equipped and there was plenty of space inside the property and there was a large undercover area at the back. Kingscote was an ideal location on the island with hotel,supermarket and fuel all within walking distance. There was something for everyone, so nothing to dislike. For large groups, the only problem is one bathroom.
• Josie (10/5): Great way to see KI - It’s location and the uniqueness of an old house. Only one toilet. Maybe another toilet could be built in the laundry.
• Christopher (8/5): House in a perfect location, lots of space inside and out - Breakfast not supplied Some gas on the BBQ would have been great
• Pauline (8/5): Very good -
• Kerrie (9/5): Enjoyed the house overall and the location was excellent for what we were doing - Great location Due to the age of the house it was a very cold house

• Julia (10/5): Perfect stay in Kingscote, central and spacious comfy house. - House was immaculately clean, great linen on the beds, Easy to walk to everything in Kingscote. We asked for an extra night due to a change in ferry schedule and the host was great in helping us check in and change the booking. Thank you! Great coffee from the bookshop next door.
