Superb location

The property had wonderful views and is located where it is straight forward to explore KI. The amenities were first class lacking for nothing in the kitchen and elsewhere. Herb having been a ranger on KI for some 30 years was able to advise where and when to go during our 4 night stay. Highly recommended.

Fantastic House, Amazing Hosts. Couldn't ask for more

What a fantastic place to stay. Great location in a quiet nook of Kangaroo Island with the most stunning views of the water. The perfect base to see everything Kangaroo Island has to offer. The house was so well equipped with everything you could possibly need. There was thoughtful touches everywhere and your every need seemed to have been thought of by the hosts, even ones we hadn't thought of. The hosts, Herb and Janette, were amazing. When we arrived after dark, Herb met us with a torch to guide us exactly where we needed to go. The house was very welcoming with the lights and heater on. Herb had gone to the trouble of highlighting a map for us and gave us a brief rundown on the island, as well as a few tips and tricks. The house was spotless and so welcoming. One of the best parts of the day was breakfast on the deck looking over the water. We even had a few friends join us in the form of kangaroos, birds and a koala. Searenity is truly one of the best properties we have ever stayed. The house, amazing and the hosts, so welcoming and friendly without being in any way intrusive. We cannot wait to return to Kangaroo Island and we wouldn't stay anywhere else. Thank you Herb and Janette for helping make our stay so memorable.

Lovely stay with everything we needed

The property had everything we needed (and more), was very well maintained and provided a great base for two families holidaying together. The nearby kangaroos, beachfront penguins, ever present pelicans, geckos and wallabies just added to the fun. The resident echidna was a huge hit. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

Best Place to Stay

What an amazing place to stay it was absolutely perfect in every way. Accomodation was modern, clean and has absolutely everything you need. Accomodation is in a perfect position to relax after a day out. also close to wildlife, the jetty and beach if you want to fish or just stroll around. I would not stay in any other place, thanks to Herb and Janette for also being the perfect hosts. Cheers Gennet, Lorrie and Vera

Fantastic House with Awesome Views

An absolutely perfect place to stay in Emu Bay! The house was spotless and very well stocked with everything you would need for a relaxing holiday. Herb and Janette went above and beyond, from the initial contact to our farewell, to make sure our stay was perfect. You simply must stay here if visiting Emu Bay.

Beautiful House with Amazing Views

Cannot fault anything! Beautiful house in a fantastic location with amazing views. The house had every amenity you could need and was spotlessly clean and modern. The owners communicated well and on arrival suggested places for us to visit. There were kangaroos and koalas right next to the property. We even had an echidna come into the front garden. Would definitely recommend this property and the location was great for visiting all of KI’s attractions.

Home away from home

Herb and Janette are fantastic hosts whose property is in a beautiful location and who go beyond the usual to make sure their house is well stocked with those conveniences that you take for granted at home including utensils, crockery, and pantry basics for groups up to 8 people. They even had picnic resources, travel mugs and thermoses for us to take out during our day trips. Their friendliness and local knowledge also made sure we made the most of our short time on KI.

Our wonderful hosts Herb and Janette provided the best equipped and most comfortable holiday home we have stayed in.The home has a lovely view to the sea and is in a whisper quiet location. The kitchen and lounge are spacious and well equipped. Location was very close to the jetty, beach, penguins and a koala. The deck was a wonderful highlight at the beginning and end of wonderful day trips around the island. The home was very clean. We had a wonderful holiday.

Luxury Plus!

If you are after luxury and top end finishes, plus friendly and helpful owners then this is definitely the place for you. Great views, kangaroos in the back paddock, a resident echidna and everything you could possibly want for anything from one night to a week or two. Plenty of space, and super friendly hosts to give hints on what to see and where the best places to visit are. Cannot recommend highly enough - if I ever come back to Kangaroo Island this is where I’m staying.

All You Could Want

Our stay at Searenity Home was amazing. Herb and Janette met us at the property and showed us around. It had an amazing view of Emu Bay and was centrally located on the island, reasonably close too all attractions. It was clean, well kept and had everything you could want included. We were visited by some kangaroos most days too which was a bonus.

Everything we needed and more!

Our stay at Searenity exceeded our expectations. Herb and Janette were wonderful hosts, amazed accommodating and full of helpful information that helped us on our trip to KI (Herb used to work in the NP and gave us many great tips). The home itself was spacious and comfy and literally had everything we needed and more. Including a box of toys, an esky, books, beach towels and picnic set. Herb and Janette have thought of everything! The view from the living room and deck is spectacular. Emu Bay itself is a beautiful town, perfect if you're looking to stay outside of Kingscote but not too far away. Thankyou for contributing to an unforgettable trip to KI!

A beautiful location with sea views, quiet and private and walking distance to beautiful Emu Bay! A short drive to Kingscote and access to the rest of beautiful Kangaroo Bay.

About the host

Hosted by Herb or Janette Stichel

We lived in Bridgewater in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia for 20 years before returning to live at Emu Bay, Kangaroo Island in 2005.
We had previously lived on Kangaroo Island when Herb was the District Ranger in Charge of the west end of Kangaroo Island. During this time we lived at both Kelly Hill Caves and Flinders Chase National Park and therefore know the Island and all of its attractions well.
Apart from the 5 years based on Kangaroo Island he was also the Operations Manager at Cleland Wildlife Park in the Adelaide Hills and also spent a year working for the Oregon State Parks Service in the USA as part of the first International Ranger Exchange Program. In 2003 Herb left the National Parks and Wildlife Service after a 30 year career to pursue our dream of an "Island Sea Change".
Janette has worked as an Information Officer at Belair National Park and then spent 9 years as an Office Administrator at an Aged Care Complex in the Adelaide Hills before moving to Emu Bay.
As our son and daughter are now adults with their own careers, we have opted to pursue our love for the more relaxed lifestyle on Kangaroo Island.

Why they chose this property

We own and operate our Kangaroo Island Holiday Accommodation business which includes Searenity Holiday Home and a fully self-contained luxury holiday apartment on the lower level of our own home. We pride ourselves on providing a very high standard of presentation and customer service and are there to greet you on arrival to hand you the keys and answer any questions.
