A fabulous property with fantastic host's. The check in process was very easy and the house was clean, airy and very well presented - the milk in the fridge was a lovely touch and much appreciated. The setting is gorgeous and we had residential koalas outside our front window and kangaroos from the kitchen window. The beach is within walking distance and it is a fabulous beach. Kingscote is a short drive and we travelled all over the island on good sealed roads. The property has a well stocked kitchen, with every utensil you may need. The BBQ was a good addition. I cannot recommend this property highly enough and the hosts went all out to make you feel welcome and are very knowledgeable about the island.

Lovely peaceful location

Our cottage was small but extremely well-equipped. The host was very helpful with suggestions of places to visit and where to eat - including sending links to local places. Even letting us know where the closest koalas were (very close!) The location was lovely. Very peaceful, with distant views over the water. The closest town is 15 minutes drive, but it's easy to organise around that. I would stay here again.

One of the most beautiful places we have ever been. The hosts are very nice, helpful from the booking to the Check-out, everything indicated exactly and you feel the appreciation for the guests with every writing and also inside the house, very comfortable and arranged with love. The shalom house is situated very calm, a little bit aside and with a beautiful view. Inside is everything you need and outside a nice place to sit. The surrounding garden ist amazing and we have seen lots of birds, koalas and kangaroos. The Labyrinth is mystic and wonderful. Thanks Zanne and Dirk for everything, you made our stay in Emu bay KI very special.

The property had everything one need to have to have a amazing stay. ***** The view from our Bayview home was spectacular. I still can’t believe waking up every morning to see that amazing view. I want to rate the place 10/10 it was total bargain. One of the cheapest stays on the island, still can’t believe what we paid for what we got. The owner Rene was lovely too, she came over the day after we got there to ensure. We had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone without hesitation. I can’t wait to come back here on our next trip to KI.

This property has a number of different cabins, cottages and houses. It's not always clear from the photos which property you're looking at. I'd recommend to the owners to consider better labelling of the photos so that prospective clients can see what they're booking. And if you're a potential client, take care with the photos. You might not be looking at the correct photos for the accommodation you're booking. We stayed in a cabin. This is a transportable site shed, fitted out with a kitchenette and with a double bed and two single beds. It was clean and comfortable with basic kitchen fittings, pots and implements. The view of Emu Bay was lovely. The owner is very good with communication and gives lots of information. Emu Bay is further out than other locations from the main tourist attractions, so a bit more driving is required, especially to the south- west. Overall, we enjoyed our little cabin a lot and enjoyed Kangaroo Island immensely.
