Seaside Garden Cottages-All 3 Cottages,up to 24 guests, 9 bedrooms,5 bathrooms

**KINDLY NOTE: WEDDING & FUNCTIONS STRICTLY BY PRIOR APPROVAL ONLY** Create the ultimate friends or family get-together with exclusive access to all 3 of our gorgeous cottages, The Villa, The Cottage & The Studio! Base Tariff includes the first 16 guests, however up to 24 guests can be accommodated in these beautiful adjacent properties, giving a fabulous balance of both privacy & spacious areas to come together & enjoy each other’s company. The big dining space is a feature loved by groups, with a 14-seat dining table inside, opening to a decked area seating a further 10, whilst the gardens are wonderful for bbq’s, drinks under the shady trees or a game of table tennis.

Seaside Garden Cottages are perfect for discerning guests requiring quality, luxury accommodation that is very clean, thoughtfully set up, comfortable & inviting, full of wonderful extras & conveniences to make your stay wonderful & easy! The gardens are lush & interesting, with shady spaces & lovely lawns. The beds are comfortable, linens are white, hotel-grade & professionally cleaned & the use of beach towels is included. Importantly, our properties have reverse-cycle air conditioning & are on mains water.

Each Cottage has been hand built with it's own unique charm, providing 9 ½ bedrooms & 5 bathrooms. ‘The Villa’ & ‘The Cottage’ each have 4 bedrooms/2 bathrooms & are fully self-contained with full kitchens, dishwashers & Nespresso machines, plus laundry facilities, hairdryers, plus DVD's, Smart TV's, games & magazines. ‘The Studio’ features 1 bedroom/1 bathroom & small kitchenette.

1) THE VILLA: Our largest cottage with soaring ceilings, light, bright & airy. The styling is more modern, with a subtle country-coastal feel. Featuring spacious open plan living, big dining table seats up to 14 plus 2 at the island bench. Huge range of DVD's, Big Smart TV in living room (3 sofas), magazines, books, games, puzzles. Downstairs are two King Size bedrooms, plus a little 'bonus' room with single bed & trundle, great for families. 2 bathrooms, full laundry facilities. Upstairs are two further bedrooms with queen size beds plus king singles by arrangement. These upstairs bedrooms have stunning internal balconies overlooking the living area with full height closable plantation shutters for privacy & safety.

2) THE COTTAGE: Charming & romantic with a touch of luxe; gorgeous, exposed beams, soaring ceiling & internal brickwork. Downstairs are two bedrooms with king size beds, 2 bathrooms (walk in showers, no tub, brand new in 2020) & spacious living areas. Full kitchen with dishwasher. The dining table seats 8 (plus 2 at kitchen bench), living room with 2 sofas. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one with a queen size bed, & the other (bedroom 4) has 2 single beds (plus basic fold-out bed for a child by request). Washing machine/dryer combo. Access to the upstairs bedroom #4 & one of the bathrooms, is via downstairs bedroom 1, making it an ideal suite for a family. The upstairs bedrooms have stunning internal balconies with screening for privacy, overlooking the dining area.

3) THE STUDIO Located alongside the main cottage, wonderful for extra privacy, our little 1-bedroom Studio is super-cute & a great place to retreat to. It features a spacious bedroom with Queen Size Bed & small bathroom (no bathtub) & basic kitchenette with bar-size fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster etc.. There's a table & chair setting for 2 inside plus 2 outside on the veranda. TV, DVD & magazines, plus reverse cycle air conditioning.

OUTSIDE: Table Tennis table, undercover & off-street parking, beach toys / balls, esky to use during your stay, 2 x BBQ’s, various dining settings in the gardens, courtyard, on the veranda etc. – more than 34 outdoor dining seats, so you’ll find the perfect spot. Large, interesting garden & expansive, lush lawn with shady trees & sunny spaces - the properties are set on 2 allotments, spanning half an acre.

CONSUMABLES: A fantastic set of consumables are included for your convenience, such as toilet paper, tissues, paper towel, tea/coffee/sugar/a few coffee pods, food wraps, pantry basics such as pepper/salt/oil/seasonings, washing detergents, soap, dishwasher tablets, handwash etc. This will certainly be enough to get you started, probably enough for your whole stay, but if you need more consumables, the supermarket is nearby.

LINEN: Professionally laundered, including white hotel-quality bed linen, tea towels, lots of soft bath towels, beach towels.

CLEANING: We hope you really love how clean the property is presented for you - we don't cut corners! 'Normal' cleaning between stays (no daily servicing) is naturally included, so there's certainly no need to clean wet areas, floors or make beds etc. on your departure. We do just ask that it's treated respectfully, left neat & tidy with items put back where they were found, spills wiped up, rubbish in bins, bbq left clean etc. Please do enjoy a little break from housework, but it certainly can't be left 'filthy', 'trashed' or damaged though, so kindly note that damage & non-standard cleaning or Covid-decontamination clean may incur an additional charge.

CHILDREN are very warmly welcomed & families love it here! There’s no need to compromise on quality or convenience just because you're travelling with your family; just let us know if you're bringing children &we'll supply quality baby items (stroller, cot, highchair), toys, beach toys etc. Please just note that whilst this luxury property is 'child friendly' & we’re really particular about safety, like most properties it's not 'child proof', so responsible supervision by caring adults is essential for the safety of your precious children i.e. yard not fully fenced, stairs, internal balcony, sharp items in the kitchen, some breakable items etc. No charge for up to 2 extra infants not yet 1 at the time of check out, however max guests on the properties is 24 inc infants.

THE BEACH: Just a few minutes lazy stroll to the water’s edge (160 metres to water to be precise), a picturesque walking track nearby is ideal for walking or bike riding right into the heart of Kingscote (approx 2.4 klms).

THE LOCATION: Just 2 minutes to Kingcote's main street. There are so many pretty places on the island, but for exploring from a central location & still being so close to amenities such as groceries, fuel, cafés, health care etc, we think it's absolutely perfect & why we chose this location. Many of the stunning but remote places on the island don't have these amenities nearby & wildlife is also quite prolific at night-time, so best to avoid driving outside of the towns after dark.

CELEBRATIONS: (FUNCTIONS AND WEDDING STRICTLY BY SPECIFIC ENQUIRY AND PRE-APPROVAL ONLY) The properties are a lovely space to celebrate a special occasion with loved ones! Importantly parties or small weddings etc. require prior approval & the max number of guests at the property must not exceed those actually booked in as paying guests. Function level cleaning is not included i.e. must still be left in good condition. Strictly NO big wild parties, bucks/hens/schoolies groups.

WIFI: Provided on a complimentary basis, it is usually reliable with a good signal, but not so good in bad weather. Whilst we don’t envisage any serious issues, please be aware that we can’t guarantee access or uninterrupted signal without fault, as sometimes KI experiences connectivity issues.

FURTHER INFORMATION We're friendly, helpful & passionate about beautiful KI. If you have any questions at all, including suggested itineraries, feel free to contact us, it's amazing how much there is to actually do on the Island beyond the popular tourist spots. It's our pleasure to help make your stay wonderful!

GUEST NUMBERS: Tariff includes the first 16 guests (inc kids); please advise correct guest numbers when enquiring or booking so we can prepare for your stay. Beds for 22, plus sofa bed or rollaway or kid's mattress. No charge for up to 2 infants (under 1 yr old at check out), portacots avail, however max guests on the property inc children/infants must not exceed 24 at any time.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Sometimes holidays don't go as planned & something may arise which prevents travel or impacts your stay, such as illness, missed or cancelled transport or weather events. As such, Travel Insurance is highly recommended.

Thanks for a fabulous stay!
We stayed in all three houses over Easter, we were a large group, travelling with my parents and siblings and all our partners and kids! Rachel was a fabulous host, she provided great information about the house and what to do on Kangaroo Island, she was in contact via email and phone before and during the stay. The house(s) are located a short drive from Kingscote. The property has lovely gardens and the houses were all immaculate. All of our group commented that the beds were particularly comfortable. Would definitely recommend and would stay again should we return to Kangaroo Island!

Absolutely Brilliant
Perfect property for a large group with enough room to get all together while still having your own personal space when needed. Lovely short walk to the beach for the morning exercise and only a short drive into Kingscote for meals & supplies. Rachel was amazingly helpful with recommendations and our travelling itinerary and we would absolutely recommend this stunning property to anyone who wishes to visit the beautiful Kangaroo Island!

A picture perfect escape
We couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous, luxurious and spacious stay. Rachel was absolutely amazing in helping us organise and prepare for 5 families with children ranging from 13 to 6 months and each room was perfectly prepared for each family/group. We will all be back to stay in this beautiful location again soon!

Tranquil and relaxing
We had 8 office managers stay in the two cottages. We all had our own space and had everything we needed. We sat in the garden and on the verandah in the sun, walked the path into town along the beach. Kitchens were well equipped and we did not need or want for anything.

Great accommodation
The property was ideal for our large family group, plenty of space for the smaller kids to play in and we loved the freedom it gave all the adults to enjoy each other's company with minimum supervisory duties. The property was close enough to the town to do a morning coffee run and go to the supermarket when necessary without travelling a long distance. The accommodation itself was clean, very comfortable and well equipped. Our host was lovely and also accessible. We'd happily stay again!!

Amazing for a large group
Could not of asked for a more amazing stay at the seaside cottages. All the extra bits and pieces Rachel has put into her cottages are fantastic. Easter eggs and birthday balloons for my daughter was much appreciated and really sweet. Beautiful gardens and everything was set up perfectly. With 19 people there was plenty of room and we felt at home.

TOTALLY AMAZING
More than a home away from home! Impressed is an understatement, when we arrived at Seaside Garden Cottages. The accommodation is so beautifully presented and well stocked with more than you will ever need. From the well equip kitchens right down to all you could need (and sometimes forget) personal toiletries. Even the fridge and pantries were well stocked with goodies. The gardens around the property were in full bloom and beautiful. The beds were so very comfortable too. Rachel was so very helpful from our first inquiry right through booking until we arrived. She even provided us with an itinerary for our stay on the island listing amazing places to visit. Thank you so much, we will be back!!

A delightful place to stay
Stayed here from 24/7 - 28/7. The cottage, including gardens were clean, beautiful and well maintained. Close to restaurants, great walking tracks and the beach a short stroll away. Definitely a wonderful place to stay, highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Webber

Host profile image
I've lived in South Australia my whole life and traveled to Kangaroo Island since a child. My grandfather, great & great-great grandparents lived in KI from the 1800's and I often wonder if these ties are why the 'pull' and intrigue of the Island is almost tangible. I'm friendly, helpful and passionate about the Island, nature, travel, gardens and quality time with family and friends. A windswept beach, the awe of twinkling stars, rugged cliffs and delicate wildflowers are my paradise on earth.

Why they chose this property

It was 'love at first sight' with these gorgeous properties - we'd decided that it was (finally) time to buy a holiday rental and narrowed down the location to Kingscote and the surrounding area - its' on mains water, and it's also wonderfully convenient. It must have been fate, because these architect designed and hand built properties were available for purchase as the previous owner was looking to retire. We've absolutely loved adding our own individual touches and are continually improving and updating them to be everything we think the perfect holiday house should be. It's the ultimate, joyous hobby working on these properties!

What makes this property unique

The more the merrier when it comes to travelling with family and friends! Our cottages have the unique benefit of privacy and space for guests, right next to each other. They are of good quality and beautiful; everything you need for a perfect stay so that you really don't need to compromise. It's so wonderful when guests tell me that it's the cleanest property they've every stayed in! And there couldn't be a more perfect location for enjoying KI, with the perfect balance of convenience, amenities and a peaceful setting.
