Guest Reviews

• Renata (10/5): - Location was perfect, views were amazing, nice and spacious, wood fire was helpful, great communication from the host!
• brar (10/5): - Equipped with everything we needed for the stay. Beautiful bedroom, kitchen and lounge with ocean view
• Yukesh (10/5): Great location and a very beautiful property. Everything you need in a holiday home was there. - Plenty of space, bbq machine with gas provided, enough cutlery, tea and coffee, washing and drying available in the house, beautiful overall.
• Barry (10/5): -
• Stuart (8/5): - Staying for a week for six people.. there should have been spare towels and tea towels available without having to ask for them.
• Davide (10/5): -
• Lesley (10/5): The perfect location for a holiday on Kangaroo Island - Great for a large group to share 1 house! - Africaine Voyage was a perfect location for our stay on Kangaroo Island - great ocean view, large balcony, LOADS of space including the large living spaces, well equipped kitchen and garage to park the car. We had to come to Kangaroo Island a night early (due to forecast gale force winds stopping the ferry the next day), and Christine managed to arrange the house to be cleaned early, so that we could rent it for the extra night - Many, many thanks, Christine. We were quite sad to leave after a wonderful 4 nights in this perfect location! Pretty much nothing... it was just perfect!! Only a small issue that the double bed in the 2nd bedroom was a bit high... a minor issue.
• Mcbeath (10/5): Great view, very comfortable! - Very clean and comfortable. Ample space, great facilities and easily accessible. Great views.
• DEBBIE (8/5): Great situation, house could use some updating, but ok for a short stay. - The location was great, not far from the centre for food shopping, the beach close by , and a lovely play park for my granddaughter. The view from the balcony lovely as well. Unfortunately there was building work over the road which started before 7am , with trucks reversing sounds going on most of the day, so spoilt sitting out on the balcony. Also the towels in the house were few as there were 5 of us, and also were very stiff , not soft !!!
• DeKlerk (9/5): Peacesful spacious family friendly stay - A wonderful home in a quiet location which comfortably accomodated our family of 5 adults plus a three month old baby. We only used the upstairs bedrooms, which were really comfortable - lots of storage. The balcony with it's view across the water was a lovely place to sit for an early morning quiet cuppa, or enjoy a meal with the family. The kitchen/dining/living area is really spacious. And firewood was provided for the wood burner 😊which we enjoyed on a couple of cold evenings. We like a walk - and the walk into town for a coffee (about 1.5K) was lovely along the path opposite. Some of us even joined in the Saturday 5K Park Run, which runs right past the house. Highly recommended.
• Jill (8/5): This house is beautiful good for groups family’s 4 bedrooms 3 bathrooms amazing view.. only 5 mins drive to shops.. - It has an amazing view Everything was great.
• kathy (10/5): Excellent property & would definiately book again - Communication with the owners was easy. Location was excellent. Great place for a large group with plenty of space. Wasn’t able to use the oven no instructions but not a deal breaker used the air fryer.
• Gina Ran (9/5): -
• Brad (9/5): -
• Sharon (9/5): Superb -
• Colin (9/5): Great holiday spot on KI - The view, the size, the amenities Little far from centre of town
• Garry (10/5): Great short holiday - Had a great time on Kangaroo Island and was able to see and do lots of things.
• Paras (7/5): Good -
• Amber (8/5): Very good -
• Jennifer (9/5): Superb - Size of house and 3 bathrooms
• Michael (9/5): Great experience in a wonderful home with very nice/accommodating hosts. - Location, friendly and accommodating hosts, the view, the size. The hot water was not working in the Africaine Voyage home and the hosts addressed the issue by putting us up in another property that was an even better location and even nicer.
• Steve (9/5): Great stay in a beautiful house - Great place with good features and location with picturesque views. The bathroom had no heating. No welcome drinks or food package provided.
• Narelle (8/5): We found this to be a great base for our travels around the island and eight places to eat in nearby Kingscote. - The fire was lovely. The couch was very comfortable. The beds were extremely comfortable. The bedrooms were very very cold.
• Lyn (8/5): Very good - Location, facilities, space More attention needs to be paid to cleanliness of floors, oven and clothes dryer which had sand in the filter cavity and an enormous amount of dust around the door
• Howard (9/5): Superb - Space and location Bedrooms were cold. The air-conditioning in the lounge room made that space very comfortable and welcoming but also made going to bed more difficult!
• Rolf (9/5): Spacious, clean, well equipped property that was very comfortable for our group and great value. - My wife and I shared the property with two other couples for 5 nights. We chose it for the 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Being no longer young, we avoided the stairs by using only the three upstairs bedrooms (two doubles and a twin) and the two upstairs bathrooms. All rooms were clean, well equipped and comfortable. It was a cold week, so the reverse cycle heating was very much appreciated. The living area was spacious, well equipped and everything worked as it should. The large dining table was ideal for our group and put to good use for games and meals. The large lounge and TV were great for watching the weekend footy. The instructions provided for entry and departure were uncomplicated and easy to follow. Being about 2km from hotels and restaurants we used our cars frequently. It rained during our stay, so the ground floor garage enabled us to stay dry as we came and went. The only small hassle was operation of the locks on the garage roller doors. One has a power actuator but we had no controller, so we operated it manually, which was easy. The other roller door takes a bit of finesse to lock and unlock properly as the cut-out in one runner does not align naturally with the locking bar and the mechanism was dry and stiff to operate. However we appreciated the security and convenience of the garage so we happily endured this slight complication.
• Bianca (8/5): Very good - The property was clean and well presented. We felt very comfortable and will be back! Nil.
• Francine (8/5): Very good - Nice view of the bay. Good to have private space (bedroom with en suite). Washing machine, dryer and coffee pod machine were good additions. Pillows, kitchen could have been cleaner.
• Pauline (8/5): Great view and spacious accommodation - Loved the spaciousness and three bathrooms. Loved the fire and coziness of the place. View was stunning. Oven didn’t work. Strong smell in two bathrooms which we reported. Lack of cooking equipment. We tried to cook pasta but nothing to cook it in. And was quite dusty. Gate didn’t open properly and the stairs were a challenge for some of us with luggage.
• Jayant (10/5): Exceptional - Location, things that were provided at the house. N/A
• Ameya (8/5): Property was good to stay with family. - Good location and views. The garage roller doors were manual.
• Renee (10/5): One of the best accommodation we have ever stay in. Amazing communication with owners. Would 100% recommend to anyone - Everything that you needed was there. Best accommodation that catered to all of our needs. I loved it all
• Trevor (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kingsley (5/5): Overall the place was okay/decent, just not sure if i'd spend the money again. - The location was good, being able to see the sea from the balcony was really nice though if houses get built across from it you may lose that. Having 3 bathrooms made things quiet nice as well, cut down on preparing time to go out granted this is a house for up to 7 people. Having internet was good as we were prepared to use our own mobile data. The wifi is okay for most people, though i didnt but my brother said it was dropping out on the balcony for him The beds were comfortable, i've slepted in way worse so thats a tick! Having a key that didnt work on the roller door and have to go around the back, to go down stairs only to open the roller door up from inside got old. A key for the roller door or a remote to get in and out should be provided for the money spent to stay. 1 of the garage lights doesnt work, the entire house echos so you can hear conversations everywhere (and you got some tosser next door coughing which goes through the balcony bedroom every morning, do think sound proofing a little is worth it, frankly the place looks kinda cheap put together or half finished, the garden needs attending as its dying, some wall socket plugs arent mounted very well (example 1 in the garage near the fridge and 1 in the bedroom by the front window) I think for a house there should be more home stuff supplied instead of going out buying stuff to get you through the week, im talking about cooking oils and sauces etc I've stayed in apartments in Melbourne which offer more, look better and for half the price.
• Sharon (8/5): Clean, convenient and large spaces. - Large property and very comfortable. Convenient location. Some furniture worn and outdated ( couch and stools). It would be good to have pasta bowls but cereal bowls and small serving bowls for nuts, olives etc would also be useful. One large semi sharp knife is not enough even for our small group.
• Fiona (10/5): Excellent property with a magnificent view - The view from the front verandah was stunning. The house was beautifully furnished and the rooms were very comfortable with lots of storage.
• Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and view, spacious house and good facilities.
• Alfred (8/5): close to everything and a great view -
• Candice (9/5): Beautiful and tranquil - Beautiful and spacious. Have all you would need and close to town centre We could not use the oven as the button was broken, but could use the Weber. Disappointed we had to clean the Weber first before we could use it. We left it clean for the next folks
• Sam (10/5): Exceptional -
• Patrick (8/5): Very good -
• Patrick (8/5): Convenient location to explore Kangaroo Island from with nice view - Sizable unit with nice view and conveniently located on Kanagoo Island. Easy to get in and communication with host was good. Generally clean on arrival. Somewhat of a smell when we entered - needed to air out. Kitchen not that well equipped - pans scatched up. Odd couch in LR - holdover from 70s or something. Gate banged on windy night - had to go out and secure as it woke me up. Pillows hard and bedding just so so.
• Lois (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gary (8/5): Great all round - Good facilities and plenty of room Good location Great stay Bbq jets needed unblocking/cleaning Gate banged in the wind. Mould in showers Garage remote too well hidden so didn’t have it for few days
• Franca (8/5): Ok, comfy, enough bathrooms, bit expensive. - # of bathrooms suited our traveling party - as we had 2 couples and a single, so worked well. Wifi was good. Coffee pods good. TV in each room was good. There was no breakfast. There was confusion about the drinking water. There was a belief from others in my group that tap water was not suitable for drinking. I asked a local who said it was fine, but the rest did not believe me. So we bought 10 litres of water from Drakes, which was not enough over our stay. Is the tap water drinkable? Also is the extra tap rainwater - is this drinkable. Would be useful if there were some written details on this for guests please. Dishwasher filter was filthy - needed cleaning - owner should consider cleaning this regularly. A little but pricey but we booked late so had not much choice.
• Wayne (9/5): Superb -
• Susan (7/5): Good -
• Robyn (8/5): Great place to stay for three couples! - Good location, plenty of space for three couples bonus having three bathrooms Hairdryer could have been supplied Microwave cooking bowls could have been supplied
• Lyndall (10/5): Fantastic property that I would highly recommend - The house was a great size. The best part was it was equipped with absolutely everything we could need for our stay.

• Isobel (9/5): A really beautiful, spacious home that was an absolute pleasure to stay in. Well situated and has everything you need a - So spacious and open great sized bedrooms and three bathrooms. Fab views form the huge balcony. Main bedroom shower is phenomenal and undercover parking is a real bonus :) Owner was fantastic with any queries. Nothing - only suggestions would be another tv in the bedroom and some hanging racks in the other three bedrooms
• Steve (10/5): Fantastic house,great views,easy access to town and beach superb would highly recommend to all -
• Fran (8/5): Very good - there were no wardrobes in bedrooms other than main bedroom which was inconvenient when we were 2 senior couples. had to shift some of the lounge furniture which had not been cleaned under for some time. miscellaneous items found. otherwise an enjoyable stay.
• Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
• Simon (3/5): Poor - Had all the facilities we required when booking. Not very clean. Lots of spiders and cobwebs. Outbreak of millipeads Main toilet not working.
• Philip (8/5): Very good -
• Warwick (9/5): Big house with heaps of room, great facilities and lovely views over the water. - Loved the views over the bay. Huge house with all the facilities you could want! Lots of bathrooms. Plenty of parking.
• Lesley (8/5): gorgeous house, good location, great facilities - the linen was of very good quality, the lounge was enormous and made for a few tv nights, there was lots of space for the five of us to be in and not feel hemmed in. I can’t think of anything
• Susanne (1/5): My stay on KI was disrupted and caused stress due to last minute downgraded accommodation. - I got booted out of the property the afternoon before I checked in. Apparently the owner put family in and didn't notify the agent. I was offended that I was not able to access accommodation I had booked and paid for in advance. Very poor form. It was a special birthday celebration for me, with family travelling from across Australia to share it with me. Alternative downgraded accommodation was supplied however I subsequently left a day early as a result.
• Anne (9/5): Very relaxing and enjoyable with amazing views - Great floor plan for a group of friends, especially with 3 bathrooms. Living area and balcony was perfect. Minor thing was no larger baking trays, more normal kitchen mugs or cups needed. But nothing major.
• Stephen (9/5): Superb -
• Raphael (8/5): Very good -
• Manuela (9/5): Great stay , comfy home -
• Tony (7/5): Good - cleaners let the owners down, but we had occasion to speak with the owners and are aware of the situation
• Michael (8/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our time there - - Lots of space indoors - Great location and close by Kingscote centre - A great base for travel around the island - Excellent shower Only thing was the front gate which was pretty badly broken when we got there. It made me a little paranoid that we'd get blamed for it. Probably best to get it fixed asap.
• Jeanie (8/5): Very good - 2 upstairs toilets continually running from the start Coffee plunger was broken and unusable
• Sudan (8/5): Very good - Clean house Garbage bin was half full
• Anonymous (10/5): Very nice house - newish and clean nothing
• Donna (9/5): Great location, clean and spacious, plenty of parking, beautiful view - Location, view, spacious, clean, size of the bathrooms, very clean and comfortable, washing machine and dryer, lots of parking not enough blankets, bedrooms were cold
