Guest Reviews
- elizabeth (10/5): - Fabulous veiws and great location 7 mins from the ferry.Both Sylvia and Ian were fantastic hosts taking time to help us with our plans.
- Heike (10/5): Unser Aufenthalt auf Kangaroo Island wurde durch die tolle Unterkunft und die herzliche Gastfreundschaft der Vermieter z - Die ruhige Lage, die Aussicht auf das Meer (tolle Sonnenuntergänge) und grasende Kängurus.
Die hervorragende Ausstattung.
Das gute Frühstück mit frischem Brot (Nespresso-Maschine mit Milchschäumer).
Die tollen Gastgeber Sylvia&Ian, die extra für uns Tagesrouten ausgearbeitet haben und uns viele tolle Tipps gaben.
Wir wären gerne länger geblieben.
Wir empfehlen The Rusty Kangaroo uneingeschränkt weiter. Es gibt nichts zu bemängeln.
- Walter (10/5): We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. The hosts were thoughtful and attentive. - We really enjoyed our stay. The hosts were thoughtful and attentive, gave us great recommendations for things to do and restaurants, and made sure the cottage had everything we needed. The unit was immaculate, and we also really enjoyed our conversations with them.
- Peter (9/5): Relaxing 3 day stay in a beautiful location with very helpful hosts - Friendly owners who were extremely helpful. Good facilities and location on one evening there were quite a lot of bugs
- James (10/5): Absolutely recommend this family run accommodation, close to Penneshaw but feels far away from care. - Modern and artistic accommodation, lovely hosts that ensure you see as much as possible and eat well, sunset views. Nothing.
- Sharon (10/5): Absolutely Amazing. Loved this place so much! - The Rusty Kangaroo blew us away. It is absolutely Awesome! The views are amazing the location is very secluded and quiet. The owners are amazing. We were greeted immediately on arrival by Sylvia and Ian. She had a map and had marked the best places and best kept secrets of places to see. We had 3 nights and wish we would have allowed more time. Sylvia booked us ahead for a very unique trip to see the seals on the far end of the island and planned our itinerary to be able to work our way back and have time to see the best places on the island. She even noted where to stop for lunch and wine and gin tasting. Back at the house we had kangaroos feeding very close to the house every evening and morning. This was a real treat for us. We had not seen kangaroo in the wild up to that time so it was very cool.
The house itself was beautifully appointed with every comfort needed. The home is beautifully decorated with antiques and very unique decor. Sylvia and Ian have thought of everything. We really loved every minute and the time went way too fast. The island people are so friendly and welcoming.
- Carlos (10/5): Amazing stay at The Rusty Kangaroo - The property has amazing sea and sunset views, is surrounded by nature but only 6min from Penneshaw, is modern, comfortable and full of charm.
Sylvia and Ian are outstanding hosts, always responsive and ready to help us to plan our 5 day visit to Kangaroo Island
Highly recommended Nothing
- Mark (10/5): A unique KI experience - Amazing scenic outlook and well positioned to all the amenities of Penneshaw.Immaculately clean and first class furnishings. The owners were exceptional in their communication, support and provision of advice for our itinerary while we were on KI. The have created the perfect luxury haven on KI.
- Young (9/5): An ecellent base to explore Kamgaroo Island. - Spotlessly clean, fantastic views, and excellent location. The kitchenette was well appointed. Silvia met us on arrival and gave some advice on where to go, was very helpful for our stay.
- Fabrice (10/5): -
- Jeff (10/5): A beautiful spot on a beautiful island. -
- Michael (10/5): - Sylvia and Ian met us on arrival and gave us lots of information on KI. They were lovely people and incredibly helpful - they even helped us book a number of activities. The sunset from the accommodation was incredible.
- Brendan (10/5): Very helpful - Thanks Sylvia and Ian, much appreciated!
- Bart (10/5): Supermooie plek op prachtig eiland - Het huis ligt op een prachtige locatie met uitzicht op zee. In de avond zitten de kangoeroes zowat voor je deur. Het huis zelf is prachtig gebouwd en ingericht. Erg comfortabel en van alle gemakken voorzien. Bovendien vonden wij de ruimte zeer ruim voor twee personen. Ian en Sylvia waren ook erg behulpzaam omdat wij problemen hadden met het krijgen van een plek op de veerboot. Het advies was je auto te laten staan op het vaste land en op Kangaroo Island een auto te huren. Omdat de overtocht met auto vrij duur is is een auto op het eiland huren eigen net zo duur. De verhuurmaatschappij zit 200 meter van de boot vandaan. Prima oplossing. En Kangaroo Island is gewoon erg mooi! Niets
- Daniel (7/5): -
- Clancy (8/5): Quiet stay in the Australian bush. - The feeling of seclusion and nature. The accommodation is situated in the bush with a view of the ocean out the front windows. The accommodation has no window covers which is great for seeing the view in the daytime but not good in the mornings as you get woken up early with bright sunshine. The bedroom window gets light in from about 5am and it wakes you up. There is also no washing machine which would be useful for longer stays. There were pegs but no washing machine.
- Daniel (9/5): We enjoyed our stay, this was a good base to explore the east of KI - Great location, close to Penneshaw (10 minutes), close to a number of beaches (10 -15 minutes) Wonderful view overlooking the bay, resident Kangaroos BBQ wasn’t available when we were there - it had been damaged
- Nischei (10/5): beautiful place on kangaroo island - The accommodation was a studio with ocean view, equipped with all necessary amenities and high quality furniture.
The studio's little terrace is perfect for relaxing, enjoying the astonishing sunset colours and watch the kangaroos all around the area.
Rusty Kangaroo is just a five minutes drive from the Penneshaw ferry terminal: close enough to town, without sacrificing privacy and close contact to nature.
Our stay was made even more pleasant thanks to Sylvia and Ian, who both go above and beyond for their guests. They even helped us with some booking issues with the ferry and gave us useful tips to discover the island.
What else to say? if a place deserves 11 points then it is this one. we should have stayed longer
- Cam (10/5): - Location is excellent, 5 minutes from Penneshaw but still away from the busyness. Sylvia and Ian were fantastic hosts, gave great guidance around how to spend our time on KI, and were extremely motivated to make sure we had a great stay. Everything about the property was thoughtful and really tasteful.
- Eveline (10/5): Traumhafte Location und sehr aufmerksame Gastgeber -
- Dirk (10/5): - Perfect hosts, good communication
- Marion (10/5): Besser geht es nicht🤙🏼 - Eine absolut einzigartige und sehr liebevoll ausgestattete Unterkunft.
Ruhig, entspannt, Kangaroos auf dem Gelände, fantastischer Ausblick…
- Neil (10/5): Absolutely loved our stay with best-in-the-business hosts! - Loved everything about the place. A truly awesome welcome from Sylvia and Ian (and throughout our stay) who take immense pride in their property. Beautiful accommodation, stunning views with Kangaroos right outside the door. Absolutely would not hesitate to recommend to anyone thinking of visiting KI. All of Sylvia’s recommendations of what to do during our visit were 100% spot on. Nothing
- Margaret (10/5): Great accommodation with wonderful hosts - The hosts, Sylvia and Ian, were very welcoming and helpful. The accommodation was of a very high standard. It sits on top of a hill and has fabulous views across the countryside and out over the ocean. Sylvia gave us lots of good advice on where to go and how to get around the island. Nothing
- Julia (10/5): Fabulous all round. Highly recommend. - Fabulous all round.
- Richard (10/5): Very comfortable and enjoyable - Everything Nothing
- Michelle (10/5): Beautiful view, great fire inside and fire pit outside, lovely hosts -
- Tanya (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michelle (10/5): Wow, Loved everything about the home, view, wildlife & 10/10 for the hosts Sylvia & Ian. Thank you so much f - Wow!! what was not to like. This beautiful home is tastefully decorated both inside and out, including all the rustic furnishing, which we absolutely loved. This extremely private and comfortable home with picturesque views to die for had everything we needed for our stay on KI. Sylvia and Ian are the friendliest hosts with a warm greeting on arrival along with offering tourist advice and suggestions for exploring the Island, which we found extremely helpful and was very grateful for. N/A
- Sam (10/5): The Rusty Kangaroo is an ideal couple stay. Well designed and appointed accommodation with lovely ou -
- Melinda (10/5): Lovely clean property with wonderful views and great location. -
- Larni (9/5): Perfect first taste of KI - Very cosy and good location - host was very informative and knowledgeable about the region
Accommodation was well equipped and very comfortable Nothing to dislike
- Gail (10/5): Amazing! - The Rusty Kangaroo is a fabulous place to stay. Location ( once you find it!) is stunning. Kangaroos roam freely around the house and you could spend hours just sitting on the verandah looking out at sea. Ian and Sylvia go above and beyond to make your stay a perfect one. Absolutely wonderful! The entrance is easy to miss, but apart from that, nothing at all!
- Aislinn (10/5): Exceptional - We were greeted by the hosts and given lots of great tips about things to do during our stay on the island. It is a beautiful home that has everything you need. The house is just outside the nearest town and has a stunning view over the ocean. Would recommend having a wine or coffee on the deck watching the magnificent sunset and the kangaroos bouning around in the evenings.
- Alex (10/5): Perfect! - Our hosts were delightful and couldn’t do enough for us - their home is perfect, the view to die for and KI a magical place!
- Jayden (10/5): Lovely retreat. - The location was beautiful, fantastic view. Hosts were friendly and informative. It was a comfortable retreat to watch movies by the fire in. Location was just up the road from Penneshaw, which had all amenities needed. Pillows were slightly high.
- Valerie (9/5): It was a fantastic getaway - An exceptional property beautifully presented with every thing provided and amazing views. Whilst we only stayed a couple of days Ian and Sylvia had taken the time to mark a map for us to visit all of the interesting places on KI which was greatly appreciated as it was most helpful since we haven't been to the island for along time. Positioned close to penneshaw for quick access to the ferry and restaurants this property will certainly give you all you are looking for.
We will certainly recommend it to our friends. That we didn't stay longer
- Robert (10/5): Sylvia and Ian were amazing great host - highly recommend a stay here. - Clean ,neat and great facilities.
Lovely place and people Had all the amenities you would need
- James (10/5): Fabulous - The rusty kangaroo was such a pleasant experience. Slyvia and Ian, we’re so accommodating they had offered to stoke the fire whilst we were out for they day and also had it ready when we arrived at the place!
Also they both gave us a very detailed information pack on the island and what we should visit. It was so amazing the only thing I would change if I could, is the entrance to be more visible. They said they are changing it
- Martin (10/5): Unique beautiful place to stay - Beautiful views of bay & great Sunsets.
Excellent hosts with lots of local knowledge & helpful suggestions.
The home has a unique style with lovely outside area.
- Chenshuo (10/5): So Good! - The house was really clean! The owner was so friendly and they are very kind, even told us a few spots it has beautiful views. I will definitely choose them the next time I come to Kangaroo Island. Nothing
