- Louise (8/5): -
- Kaitelyn (10/5): -
- Pragya (1/5): Worst experience , worst cabins - Nothing Worst accommodation in my life, insects flies everywhere bathroom lights were not working through our trip. Outdoor light was also not working. Dirtiest place ever I visited. Bad experience never book these cabins .
- Christopher (9/5): -
- Bridget (5/5): - Good location to town and loved all the kangaroos on property. The sofa in the cabin was disgusting!! Old, dirty, torn at the seams…I didn’t want to set my bag on it let alone sit on it. Bed was very uncomfortable, like sleeping on a piece of plywood. Never received instructions on which cabin was ours but thankfully, someone answered when I called to give me instructions. About an hour after arriving, messaged the property via the Booking.com app to inquire as to how to turn the porch light on and never received a response - ever. We were there 2 nights so we sat in the dark.
- Peter (5/5): Enjoyed except for lounge. - Location good. Lounge sofa very uncomfortable and difficult to get up from.
Dirt road to property was muddy and slippery due to rain periods.
Bed ok.
- Heather (9/5): -

- Nunzio (8/5): -
- Glen (9/5): - Quietness, washing machine. Location

The McKay family
- Tiahn (9/5): -
- Harrison (8/5): The only place we stay just put your bread in the fridge - Location animal & bird life tranquility The mice eating our bread
- Nicholls (1/5): We left after one night - we booked 2. We sent a text to the property to say we were leaving. They did not answer. We di - The kangaroos The cabins are not modern as advertised on a signboard on the property. They’re old and dirty. The mattress was that bad that we rolled into each other in the middle of the bed. Grunge around the plughole in the bathroom and the cutlery tray was filthy.
- Graham (7/5): -
- Mary (8/5): Comfortable and in nature. - Remote but still close to town. Nothing.
- Neil (3/5): - Nice, peaceful setting Lack of pillows (which was rectified), but have never stayed in cabin or any other accommodation with less than two pillows per person. Lack of a couch. Poor, low pressure shower.
- Phillippa (5/5): - Location
Nature around, quiet, wildlife around cabin
Good size fridge Bathroom too small
Shower curtain sticks to you making shower even smaller
Bed not comfortable
- Alison (7/5): We enjoyed the location but cabin could be made more comfortable and homely. - Lovely location, quiet with kangaroos visiting in the evening. Top sheet missing from double bed, no plunger or coffee pot, no salad bowl/s, terrible can opener, couch was quite dirty.
- Omobono (8/5): I canguri sulla soglia di casa. - Il suo punto debole, fuori dalla città nella campagna, è anche il suo più grande pregio. Verso sera arrivano gli animali. I canguri timidamente si avvicinano e c’è la possibilità di un incontro ravvicinato.
Sono stati dei momenti indimenticabili. Per il resto la struttura è semplice con tutto il necessario. Wi-Fi veloce. La pulizia è migliorabile. La posizione nella campagna richiede una certa attenzione per evitare che gli insetti entrino nella struttura.
- Gundipl (10/5): -
- Chris (10/5): Excellent stay and great location clean and tidy - Clean fresh and very helpful Nothing everything was great
- Samuel (9/5): Super Unterkunft um seine Ruhe zu haben ubd überall „schnell“ zu sein. - Zentral und ruhig. Die Maus, welche mich in der ersten Nacht wachgehalten hat in der Küche
- Kerry (10/5): - beautiful little cabin , very private on first night asked for an iron , manager reply and said they would deliver one next day. never came

- Jenny (8/5): - Quiteness The shower head,lack of cooking accessories.
- Terri (8/5): Good value for the money enjoyed our stay & would recommend it - Lovely setting Basic accomodation neat & very clean…loved the visits from the Roos & magpies…close to town & access to the main road… No coat hangers but this was not a deal breaker
- Jill (10/5): Gorgeous setting, lovely cabin, easy peasy. - Loved the location. Kangaroos around us everyday. Private and quiet. Spacious and clean cabin. Only thing was smell in bathroom maybe from drain.
- Jean francois (9/5): - Le cadre De ne pas voir les propriétaires
- Sonia (8/5): It was very good location right next to tide pool , beds were very comfortable and clean. - Clean and comfortable Shower , very law water pressure.
- Helen (7/5): The location enabled us to travel all over the island very easily while also being close to shops - Excellent location and opportunity to see animals and birds in natural environment Shower provided with an anti slip mat
- Aaron (1/5): - Cockroaches in bed & shower flooded the unit
- Pardeep (3/5): The hotel stay was disappointing due to poor facilities - Location Toilet & shower area very tight/ smelly toilet & room
Kitchen not adequate / no cloth steamer or iron.
- Ramandeep (10/5): - Amazing Location
We really enjoyed
- Gina (8/5): - Clean, and goid value for money. Kangaroo outside the door Location need car. Not on shuttle bus ferry pick up point
- Shannon (8/5): KI Adventure - Being out of town, it was quiet and the resident roos came in each night. Not much we didn't like 😉
Maybe just a couple more containers for food prep as we cooked each night and two wine glasses would be amazing.
- ferdinando (10/5): Se un giorno tornerò in Australia sicuramente tornerò ad alloggiare qui. Intanto posso consigliarlo - i canguri daavanti alla poeta di casa che mi hanno mangiato le carote
- MICHELLE (8/5): -
- Don (4/5): - friendly wildlife Shower small with plastic clinging curtain. yuk. Shower overhead ceiling rose fixed, and hung to low. No luggage rack. Bed very low.
- Briannanunnerley94 (5/5): Very disappointing. - The view and wildlife around the cabin was amazing. The location was great because it was close to town but also secluded and quiet. Communication with them was great initially. The bed felt like it dipped down at the head end, we had mice and the owners/managers only offered an apology I had to request mice traps 4 days into a 5 day trip to take care of the problem ourselves after no sleep on our honeymoon no compensation was even offered. There was a fairly thick layer of dust throughout the cabin and mice droppings. There wasn’t even a spatula to use for cooking yet they had the nerve to leave a note saying a cleaning fee would be applicable if the cabin (kitchen) wasn’t left clean.
- Sendy (9/5): - Kangaroo grassing infront of the cabin
- Amy (1/5): Waste of money - The location is convenient and the Roos that visit So we stayed in cabin 1. First of all was not told it was self check in so drove around trying to find reception before we then rang the number to be told we sent you a message which they hadn’t. Walked into cabin and it had an awful smell. Turns out it was left over curry takeaway in the bin than hadn’t been emptied. We struggled to get rid of the smell we had to buy cleaning supplies. Emailed owner to let them know and we’re brushed off with “it’s hard to get good cleaners”. Bathroom didn’t drain properly so during the night had to walk on wet water to use the toilet. Only left one spare toilet paper for four night stay. Main bed mattress was awful and so stinky going to cost a bit in physio. Wouldn’t stay here again.
- Mirco (10/5): -
- Dushantha (10/5): great holiday destination - great place. none
- Wu (7/5): - Nice , clean and saw some wildlifes The shower is a bit weak. But not a issue
- Anna (10/5): Highly recommended - Loved the location and amenities, the kitchen is very functional and the whole cabin very comfortable. The patio overlooked part of a bush with kangaroos and koalas! Couldn't ask for more! Love it all
- Elizabeth (5/5): - Great location. Local roos were friendly There was mouse in the house that ate through most of our food
- Willem (9/5): Great stay on Ki - Location was great for exploring KI, kangaroos came to feed on property right next to the cabin! Good AC and heater and the kitchen was a plus! WiFi works proper and they have a washing machine you can use for free! We would have loved more utensils and proper wine glasses. Besides that it was all great!
- Lodovica (10/5): Immerso nella natura! Bello - Soggiornare nella cabin, con i canguri che ti fanno visita proprio sulla porta, è stata una bellissima esperienza! La posizione è ottima: immersa nella natura e a 5 min di auto dal centro di Kingscote, dove ci sono supermercato benzina e ristoranti. La cabin è arredata in modo essenziale, con stoviglie e pentole giusto per 2 persone, ma c’è tutto. Eravamo nella cabin per 2 persone, era in buono stato e il bagno è grande. C’è anche la lavatrice e i fili all’esterno per stendere. Il check in è “in autonomia”, nel senso che ricevi le istruzioni via Booking, ma i gestori sono gentili e disponibili se ne hai bisogno.
- Anna (9/5): Quaint and beautiful - The kitchen was well stocked, nice to have laundry, good location and the kangaroo viewing out the front porch was incomparable The hot water was not working in the shower
- Uwe (5/5): - Lage und Kangarooh drumherum Kein Kontakt zum Vermieter
- Sara Louise Debicki (6/5): Great location and would recommend because of that. - The location was great. Being welcomed by Kangaroos was a real bonus. Close to Kingscote. Everything was a bit tired and it needs a bit of a refresh.
- Michael (8/5): -
- Sunila (8/5): -
- Janine (10/5): - Hatten morgens besuch von Kangaroos welche gemütlich gegrasst hatten.
- Wen Pei (3/5): 建议他人不要入住 - 地理位置 太脏了,被子也脏的,忘记拍照了,卫生间水道有臭味溢出。
- Miguel Emeterio (10/5): Viaje a Kangaroo Island - La ubicación No poder interactuar con el personal
- Susan (8/5): - Bien situé, sympathique. Finalement, c'est le seul endroit où nous avons vu un kangourou vivant pendant notre séjour ! RAS
- Burkhard (7/5): Look at the visit as an outdoor adventure and will not be disappointed - Perfectly located... ideal for animal lovers, as you are greeted by kangaroos, mini bats and their friends in the morning and evening. Unfortunately, cabin 7, where we stayed, is far from being modern, well-maintained or clean.
- Marc (9/5): -
- Franzi (3/5): - We liked the location and peacefulness Compared to heaps of other cabins we have stayed at over the years (mainly in Western Australia), this one was by far the most outdated and least inviting accommodation. Cabin 1 needs more than just some TLC...
- BeDeux (8/5): - Endroit très calme, cabines bien équipées, lit confortable. Sol pas très propre (en particulier en dessous du lit). Rien de prévu pour la collecte du verre. Le pommeau de douche est placé trop bas et n'est pas ajustable en hauteur.
- alebat91 (10/5): Incredibile - Il voto sarebbe fuori scala in positivo. Per amanti della natura è un paradiso. Cabine confortevolissime con bagno privato in camera e soggiorno con cucina attrezzata immersi in un'oasi di pace e serenità con canguri che girano intorno all'area a tutte le ore del giorno. Un sogno
- Debbie-ann (10/5): Excellent - Perfect peaceful location
Wildlife
Non contact service perfect
Any issue, like running out of loo paper fixed at once Nothing
- dante (8/5): -
- Cecile (8/5): -
- Karen and Des (9/5): Great place! Basic clean cabins in quiet location surrounded by wildlife - We loved: that the cabins were spaced far apart for privacy; how lots of kangaroos and wallabies would graze within the cabin park each night and the many and varied bird-life; the quietness of the place during the day and at night; spacious but basic cabin; no road noise and nice and dark at night; and only 5 kilometres from town. Shower rose was stuck in one place and shower curtain would wrap around my legs.
- Ken (8/5): - The peace and quiet
Comfortable and clean
Kangaroos and birds on our doorstep The shower cubicle was quite small but the hot water was Excellent
- Lesley (9/5): -
- Stuart (10/5): Fantastic place to explore the island from! - Comfortable & had everything we needed great location nice & quiet Only thing I could complain about was the tv is to high. Didn’t really concern me too much as I don’t watch it.
- Natasha (8/5): - The location is perfect
We saw the most beautiful kangroos and wallabies on the property
- Jim (7/5): - Quiet location, 2 rooms, space, good wifi, cook top with small oven was good. Older amenity, a bit tired
- Dominic (9/5): Un must sur KI - Très bien équipé. Des kangourous à tous les jours et même un koala. La tête de douche est trop basse et manque de pression d'eau.
- Kevin (10/5): - Very handy, good facilities, very clean, didn't give a scope for staff because we didn't have contact with them. But they presented their property in excellent condition
- Navpreet (6/5): Its too lonely to stay there + its not worth $500 - It was alright but not worth spending 3 nights Shower cubicle is too little. The door was breaking down, too fragile the table in the room was too small , can’t even put two breakfast bowls on it
- Langman (8/5): -
- Karlien (7/5): -
- Harriett (9/5): Bon hébergement - Emplacement parfait, en pleine nature. Avec la visite de kangourous le soir !
Cabine bien équipée. Douche très exiguë, l'eau coulait faiblement.
- Richard (8/5): Plenty of good aspects despite the negatives listed so we’d stiil be happy to stay again. - Good design of cabin. Good location. Wallabies came to meet us at dusk. Think this may be a cabin (no 3) due for a little refurbishment. ( I think some of the others might already have been done. ) . Seriously rusted shower curtain rail, mattress past its best, double burner/ oven pretty ancient and rusted. Newer double ring also providedso old kit might as well be ditched. Units showing typical old age wear ( lifting laminate). No tea towel.
- michelle (5/5): i feel a couple of small reno / fix ups would make this a much more enjoyable experience. - good location . very basic accomodation but for the price great for a quick night or two passing thru. has everything you need. dirty towels and a wet face washer hanging over shower from last person... cleaner must have been asleep. pretty bad to think the shower had not been cleaned at all or they would have seen the dirty towels
also please fix your oven.... after arriving back at the cabin at 8 pm at night hungry.. we bought two pizzas to put in oven hahhah... had been in there for 50 minutes and still wasnt cooked.
i feel a couple of small reno / fix ups would make this a much more enjoyable experience.
i know its budget accomodation but one would expect things to work and be clean
- Deborah (9/5): - Lovely spot in the bush. Had everything that you need. Would like to have stayed longer and seen more of the island. Enjoyed seeing the kangaroo family. Very large shower head for a very small shower. Couldn't shower without getting my hair soaked.
- Gillian (8/5): We really liked the place and the space but were disappointed with the smell - The kangaroos wandering around in the morning and evening was wonderful The smell in the bathroom coming from the drains was almost unbearable.
The drain in the floor in the bathroom was rotted and the oven door was also rusted
- Craig (10/5): Loved it - The serenity
