About this property

The Kona - coastal seclusion on Kangaroo Island

The Kona is situated at Antechamber Bay 25 Kms east of Penneshaw on 3500 acres of 1820's historical coastal farmland, 'Creek Bay'.

The Kona is a modern, open-plan beach house suitable for up to two families. Unwind on the large entertaining deck, prepare meals in the modern kitchen or travel a short distance to local eateries in Penneshaw.

Creek Bay farm adjoins Leseur National Park and is close to Chapman River. Enjoy secluded walks amongst native bush and coastline, including over 1000 acres of private bushland.

How to find The Kona:
The Kona holiday house is situated 25kms east of the ferry terminal at Penneshaw.

Go through the township and turn left past the Penneshaw school, the signs indicate Antechamber Bay and Cape Willoughby Lightstation.

The road is sealed for the first part and then becomes dirt.

After 23kms you will come to the Creek Bay Farm. Turn left and follow the road 2kms until you arrive at The Kona which is on your left. If there is any confusion about directions and/or location please do not hesitate to contact us!

Amazing views
We stayed here last week. Six adults and a baby. The house was great. Perfect for what we needed. The view from the house was amazing. There was access to two beaches from the property which was great.

Superb as ever
A stunning location. A comfortable and very well equipped home. We loved the solitude and peace and wild beauty of antechamber bay and beyond. Thankyou so much for sharing this piece of paradise with us again. It is so special!

Kona time
Don’t stay here if you’re expecting some shops around the corner. It’s 23 kilometres from the nearest town, but that’s the good thing about it. Out on a sheep station but with fabulous views over Backstairs Passage, a well equipped kitchen to cook in and a great outdoor deck area. An amble through the fields to a couple of completely private beaches. Swallows nesting in the garage. And yes there is a washing machine

Peace and solitude in abundance. The Kona though remote is worth the effort.
We spent 8 days at this property it was just so relaxing we didn’t want to leave. Kate and Andy were lovely to deal with. The private beach was a bonus. We will definitely be back.

Relaxing break
We have had an amazing stay. Only a few days off from hectic work schedules, but with being able to bring our two doggos with us for the trip, it made for a relaxing stay we will not forget. Thank you to Kate and Andy, this place is wonderful and we are so pleased we were able to be here to enjoy it. We hope to be able to visit again

Farm stay holiday
Charming farm house on sheep station with beautiful views of the water and mainland. Private beach was also beautiful and a real bonus. Driveway to property was long and a bit rough, better suited to 4WD. Located on the Dudley peninsula close to wineries and not too far from Penneshaw where there is a well stocked IGA. Overall a great place to stay.

Beautiful farm stay
We absolutely loved staying at the Kona. So special to be able to walk our dog down to the private beach and explore the farmland. The view from the balcony is absolutely stunning, and the house itself was lovely, clean and had everything we needed. Thankyou Kate for a lovely stay

Amazing farm stay on the Dudley Peninsula
Perfect for a group of 6-8. Pets allowed which worked well for us. Gorgeous view of the ocean, comfortable and warm, nice spa bath, and open plan kitchen/living area. Great kitchen for cooking family meals!! Overall five star accommodation :) thanks Kate for hosting our family for our wedding weekend!

Beautiful Views & Tranquillity
Beautiful spot and lovely home. Had everything you needed, including Pod Coffee!! Which was awesome! Gorgeous views and so peaceful and tranquil. The King size beds were so comfy! The only negatives were that the 3rd bedroom was very small with the 2 bunks and there were a few spiders and webs behind the beds.... and we hate spiders!! We also could not get the wall heater to work? Also, when it rained you could not sit outside on the deck as there was no coverage on the pergola. Only small things... would definitely go back there!

We had a fantastic family time and loved the private beach
The property is set up with everything you would need in the kitchen. Only feedback would be it would be great to have over head fans in the bedroom and the stove is a bit slow to cook on. That aside the location is stunning

lovely location. Good value for money and although the owners lived elsewhere on the property they were never intrusive. Fabulous views and kangaroos in the garden. The only drawback being the 20 minute drive across an unmetaled road to get there from the main highway
