Wonderful
Setting of house is so beautiful. View is amazing, gardens are so lovely and private. House has everything you need, even warm socks provided. Wood fire very appreciated. Garden tyre swings very appreciated by our 6 year old! And so many games left in house to use. Lives playing music through cd player in house. Amazing being able to bring our dog! Perfect stay, can’t wait to go again! Able to walk through nearby properties.

A taste of serenity
The only noise we hear are the varying birds that come and visit the property. This time we were privileged to see nine black cockatoos as well as Kangaroos and rabbits. The dogs had a ball running around on such a large property and we settled down to a glass of wine. My kind of holiday. Thank you

Relaxing Family Getaway
Deep Creek Retreat was the absolute perfect place to enjoy our first ever long weekend away with our 11-month old. The house and grounds were immaculate and very well looked after, we enjoyed wandering through the garden and spending time away from our phones and TV. We loved the privacy but also how easy it was to get to places like the beach. And being able to bring our dog along made it even better! We can't wait to come back.

This is worth it for the garden alone, it is like having your own private botanical garden! And a beautiful property to boot. I love the fact there is no TV!

Great property
The house was terrific with loads of space and magical views. We were relatively close to all of the required touristy places to visit, however the property was very self sufficient, quiet and just wonderful for a few days away from every day life, a great place to stay.

Perfect weekend getaway
A beautiful property in such a pretty part of the SA. Deep Creek is one of the states best kept secrets. The photos of the views and gardens don’t do this home justice ! To walk in the front door and be greeted by the picture window looking out over the gully and across to KI was really special. We enjoyed walks around the property, spending time in the lovely gardens, relaxing on the decks and completing unwinding from our hectic lives. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed for our long weekend, and communication from the hosts was excellent. We will definitely be back and look forward to spending a few extra days on our next visit.

A Beautiful Sanctuary
This property is a beautiful sanctuary away from the busy hustle of life. Enough space to meander through the gardens and a large window looking out onto Kangaroo Island. It is a place to switch off digitally and enjoy nature and the bird noises. Highly recommend it.

The perfect digital detox
The property was all we expected and set in a fantastic tree filled block with views down to Kangaroo Island. No wifi or tv and almost no mobile phone coverage makes for a perfect time to detach from the noise of the world....and....breath. We loved DCR.

A lovely, peaceful getaway.
We loved our stay. The house is very private, surrounded by a beautiful, tranquil, shady garden. The house is very well presented and has everything needed for a great stay, It has a beautiful view from the living room, across the hills to the sea. Farm animals, birds and kangaroos can be seen passing by. Great location, a short drive to the beach or into the national park.

A place to switch off and relax
We loved our stay here. The picture window framing the countryside and ocean was amazing, whether it be the amazing sunsets or the clear view to Kangaroo Island, it was impossible not to sit back and enjoy the view. Taking a walk around the beautiful gardens of he property was also a feature of our stay, as well as the close proximity to the Deep Creek National parks pristine surroundings and beaches. The propoerty is well equipped and leaves you wanting to come back again for the experience - something I'm sure we'll do!

A peaceful oasis.
Back for a third time. Slow strolls in the beautiful diverse gardens or just relax on the couch with an impressive view down to Kangaroo Island. The simplicity of the house with homely touches is just what we need. We love DCR.

When we are looking for a quick getaway we always come here. It is quiet. The flowers are blooming and the diversity of birdlife is a beautiful sight to see. Thank you so much Sandra and Ian for allowing us to bring our puppies too.

Perfect stay
This is the 3rd of 4th time we have stayed at this beautiful house, it’s off the grid so you get to be completely unplugged from your phone which was the idea. The views, particularly from the living room are unreal and you get a perfect view across to Kangeroo Island. The garden is a highlight, it’s a hectare of perfectly presented botanical garden, very special indeed and our dog loved it. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to unwind from the city life and breathe the fresh country air. Looking forward to our next stay. Alex and Clare
