Had a wonderful time here, lovely house and you thought of everything! Extended our stay as KI is such a beautiful place, I want to live here. Lovely evenings feeding the wallabies :) Hope to come back, thank you.

Congratulations, everything thought of and exceptional cleanliness! Wobbly the wallaby
turned up from day 1. Will recommend to others, thank you.

The Kelly's
A great place to stay away from home. You have catered for every need a person would have when you cannot bring a lot of things with you. The coffee machine an added bonus. It lived up to all the good reviews we read before booking. Clean and well maintained. Thank you!

Janine and Neville
We had a great time, enjoyed every minute of our holiday. Staying at 'Island Breeze' has been awesome. Everything you would need has been supplied. Very clean and welcoming. Feeding the wallabies every night was a highlight. Even though we have been here for 12 days, it does not seem enough. Looking forward to a return visit and 'Island Breeze' will be on our list to stay!

Michael and Annette, Germany
As last time, this spot was just the place to be - nothing let to wish for ... if we can spare the money, we will come again all the way from Munich. The house was perfect again, we loved it, surrounded by wildlife!

Stuart and Berni, Victoria
We had a wonderful stay here - it has been peaceful and perfect for our needs. So exciting to see how many wallabies came to visit each evening - 11 was the most. Thank you!

Dave and Beth, Brisbane, Qld
What a memorable way to see in the New Year! Great house, great location and beautiful walks at Vivonne Bay. Thanks!

A hidden gem
What a beautifully presented home with a good bush view with resident wildlife. We arrived in the dark (a little scary with the amount of wildlife near the roads) and felt right at home from the moment we arrived.

Excellent house in amazing location
We loved our stay at Island Breeze. Highly recommend. Stairs up were a challenge for husband with arthritis, but he did cope. Visiting wallabies and currawongs were a highlight. We were at Vivonne Bay in May, which is not the peak tourist season. So it was extra quiet and peaceful. Albert the host was very helpful and quick to respond. Thank you.

Lovely hideaway in great KI location
This beach house has fabulous open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room with views overlooking the bush. Also BBQ and outdoor seating area. Location nearish the Vivonne Bay beach is perfect for seeing some of KI's best sites, and owners communicated well. Also useful having free wi-fi as phone coverage is not great in some parts of island. Highly recommended.

Island Breeze
Unfortunately due to mix up in KI ferry timing we were unable to stay. Howerver we have stayed at Island Breeze in the past and found it to be excellent. We are definitely looking forward to staying there again in the future. It is located in a great spot close to all the attractions we were interested in on KI. The ratings provided are for our previous visit.

We enjoyed our stay at Island Breeze, visiting southern KI. We watched wallabies in the front yard in the evenings. Plenty of space for 2 couples or small family. Checkin/out was easy.

A great place to stay to explore the island from!
Island Breeze was situated in an ideal location, being near the beach, and also near all the attractions that we wanted to see. It was clean, tidy, and well provisioned with crockery, utensils, cooking equipment (including bbq), and fresh linen. The resident wildlife was also a joy to watch from the comfort of the property.

Perfect in every way
What a perfect place to stay House was immaculately tidy. It had everything you would need and more including the coffee machine! Bed was comfy. Easy walk to the beach Vivonne Bay is an excellent location as a central base for exploring the island. Loved the 5 little wallabies that visited every night in the front yard.

Cozy home in walking distance to beach
The house is in walking distance to beach and good location for exploring Flinders Chase National Park and Seal Bay. The house was clean and has everything you need for a stay. The beds are also very comfy. Even though there is no yard the balcony is nice to sit out on. The steps going up to the property are steep and make it a little difficult when trying to carry luggage up. Would happily stay again.

Island Breeze was the perfect retreat for our KI holiday. Excellent location, clean + v. comfortable
The Stayz site was clear and user friendly. Our hosts provided clear and timely communications. Island Breeze had all that we needed and it gave us intimate encounters with wallabies and small birds, and cocooned us amongst the trees and nature.

Beautiful home away from home
The property was a classic beach cabin nestled in among the trees. Everything was clean, functional, and comfortable. The only downside is the lack of restaurants/cafes in the local area. There’s the general store down the road which serves fish and chips and burgers but apart from this, there was only one other general store 30 mins away - no cafes or restaurants that we could find
