    No dishwasher. Neighbours using a bobcat one day of our stay. Only three dinner plates for 4 guests.

    Comfortable clean beds. Clean modern bathroom. Reasonable stocked kitchen. Walking distance to the beach.

    Looked better on the inside than the outside. Would have been nice to have a bit more of a view of the ocean. One bed was a little soft.

    Great location from which to explore Kangaroo Island. Our host gave plenty of sightseeing info beforehand and we took our own food - as there were no shops to purchase from in the town. Inside was beautifully rennovated and modern.

    The home was comfortable but could have been a bit cleaner. (Floors, BBQ)

    Great location within walking distance of seeing koalas, kangaroos and echidnas and with easy access to wonderful Emu Bay beach.

    It was quite dusty and unclean under the furniture, especially the beds. Shower water temperature was temperamental and quite dangerous with its abrupt and sudden changes to hot water. As the bedrooms didn’t have air conditioning, it would be great if the windows could be left open.

    Excellent location in Emu bay. Great accommodation for families. Staff excellent support regarding check in and check out.

    You need to buy goods before you arrive as there are no restaurants or shops. But were advised before we arrive so we were prepared. However on Friday and Saturday evenings there is a pop up caravan on the beach which was lovely.

    The house is lovely. Upon arrival we were met by a very large brown kangaroo. Welcome to Emu point. The house is lovely. Very clean and neat. Great place to relax. You can walk down to the foreshore to see the penguins (if your lucky). Would recommend this venue for families.

    Some time should be spent to clean the fly screens (they are filthy). Cobwebs on the cornices. The mattress in the back room might need replacing as it sinks in the middle.

    Nice and quiet location. Local wildlife. Nice beach for a walk. Convenient to the rest of KI.

    The wifi isn’t fast, if you have a 2 wheel drive the driveway is hard to get onto (park in the road) and they could do with a mixer tap in the shower to save water (which is from a rain tank) apart from those small things highly recommended.

    Lovely accomodation and great location very close to an amazing beach. Beds are comfy. House is clean. Kitchen well stocked with kitchen utensils.

    I like the bath and kitchen, except that there is no dishwasher provided😀😂

    Quiet and cozy home for me and family. Love the sea out of the windows at dusk. And the milk way at night. Children love it very much. Also a walk distance to the sea.

    Can't fault anything. Lock box for keys was a bit tricky, but we got there. All good.

    House was well equipped with everything you might need. Location is excellent. We really love Emu Bay. Bed was comfy. Great shower, and pleased with the roomy bathroom. So many properties have small, cramped bathrooms. Thumbs up! :-)

    House retained a lot of heat during the day and became hot and stuffy by days end- requires external canvas awnings, cooking pots are worn and scratched and need replacement, fly screen on main bedroom windows was blown off and would not fit back on, in the bathroom 2 out of 3 windows had no flywire screens and let in insects.

    Absolute quiet and serenity of Emu Bay, sea view from the house, comfort of house, great bed, only 15 minutes from Kingscote for food, dining out, cafes, etc well positioned for travel to points of interest.
