Lagoon House KI

Once you arrive on Kangaroo Island you are only a short drive to Lagoon House. Situated 18km from the Penneshaw Ferry Terminal or 35km from the Kingscote Airport. The house is set on the edge of an ever changing tidal lagoon. Wallabies & the Heath Goannas make their homes in the bushland surrounding Lagoon House. You can watch them from the deck as they go on their daily walks. Possums & echidnas also live close by. The safety of the lagoon makes an excellent breeding ground for many of the Island's unique bird life. Blue Wrens flit amongst the trees just outside the deck. Fish for King George Whiting off the beach or maybe feed the pelicans at sunset at Strawbridge Point. Swim in the pristine waters of Island Beach or just enjoy the silence of the beautiful bushland.

Island Attractions

There are so many wonderful experiences to enjoy on Kangaroo Island. Join the penguins at Penneshaw on their nightly parade from the sea to their cozy burrows. Climb Prospect Hill & view both sides of Kangaroo Island. Enjoy the fantastic fresh produce & seafood. Book a fishing charter to catch fresh fish. Taste the unique Ligurian Bee honey at Cliffords Honey Farm or The Island Beehive. Try some wine tasting at various cellar doors around the Island such as The Islander Estate, Dudley Wines & Bay of Shoals Winery. Sample the world acclaimed gin at Kangaroo Island Spirits - KIS! Discover the amazing art of the Island. Explore the rugged coastline. Book an 4WD Adventure Tour. Visit the natural wonders of Admirals Arch, Remarkable Rocks & the Kelly Hill Caves. Take a guided tour of Seal Bay Conservation Park or a marine tour to swim with the local dolphins. There is so much to do & see on KI!

From the moment we opened the front door we were all squealing with delight. The house is well equipped and has the most beautiful views. This was our second stay on the Island and we chose to stay close to the house this time to enjoy the home and have R&R. Thank you for sharing this delight with us.

Blissful stay at Lagoon House
This house had me at hello. One step onto the deck overlooking the bush and the water and I knew I didn’t want to leave. There’s a lovely walk to the bay and wonderful quietness. The house is very modern and comfortable with everything we need and we were delighted with the great tips.kangaroo island is a dream and I can’t wait to visit again.

Stunning view, beautiful house, relaxing stay
The lagoon House is amazing, from the moment you walk in you are wowed by the view over the trees to the water. Big entertainers kitchen. Massive deck and bbq, best views I’ve ever had standing at the bbq. We really enjoyed our stay. House is comfortable and has everything you need. Short walk to great fishing. We were sad to leave such a stunning house and stunning view behind and go home.

How’s the serenity!?!
We loved staying here! Perfect location for time out and for finishing our two week holiday - next time we plan to stay here longer. It was peaceful and had everything we needed. Wonderful to have the close up experience of a few friendly wallabies visit. Joan and Steve’s is a must stay place when visiting the island.

The wonderful stay at Lagoon House
Our family had an amazing time at Lagoon house. It had a beautiful view of the lagoon at the back, alongside the private, scenic path that leads to the beach. The facilities were incredibly clean (the kitchen was accompanied with full sets of glasses, plates and cutlery, there was also a barbecue!) and kangaroo/wallaby food was provided in the expansive pantry. We were lucky enough to be visited by a few kangaroos and the neighbourhood was quiet and peaceful. There’s even a collection of kids toys and books provided in a cabinet. We definitely will back next time!

Great place to stay for family and friends
Great location! Breathtaking view looking out to the bushes, lagoon and sea, and occasionally see kangaroos and different species of birds wondering around the house, felt very close to nature. Cooking in the kitchen with the view is priceless, kitchen is fully equiped and convenient and just felt like home. Highly recommend this place and will definitely come back next time visiting KI.

Dream vacation house on Kangaroo Island !
Lagoon house was amazing. We had the time of our lives. Everything was as described. Attention to detail second to none. Wildlife galore right at our doorstep. Incredible views and so much more. If your looking for a clean, comfortable, cosy place to stay on KI, look no further, Lagoon house is the place! A credit to the owners. Thankyou so much!

Perfect Stay
Beautiful house a perfect base for a Kangaroo Island holiday. Kitchen very well fitted out with all cooking utensils and pantry items. Instructions for check inane out very clear and easy. Enjoyed a couple of walks down to the lagoon and beach and the morning chorus of the birds around the house. A final observation - look out for the local wildlife which is abundant and prone to dashing out in front of your car!

Stunning location, gorgeous house
In one word… perfect! Lagoon house is so very well designed. The owners have clearly thought of their guests at every step. Each morning you can enjoy the beautiful sunrise from either inside or on the deck, or spend time soaking in the peace and tranquility and listening to the birds. The view of the lagoon and bay is wonderful. In the evenings we had guests in the form of a large kangaroo and a couple of shy wallabies. It’s a great base to plan day trips across the island. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need and is stylish and very comfortable. Great communication from the owners, they are lovely and very helpful. We loved it and would stay again in a heartbeat!

A spacious and beautiful home
We were three adults, family staying in this large, 4 bedroom home. It is situated in a beautiful and quiet part of KI and very peaceful. There is a large beach nearby and a lagoon nearly, up a sandy path, nearly at your doorstep, just pass some natural bush. The house is large, modern and has everything you need and more. The large verandah is wonderful to relax on and take in the relaxing and stunning view. Kangaroos and wallabies visited us, which made it very special. My only complaint is that we didn't have enough time there, but we hope to return. Also, note that the road leading to the home is not a sealed road, but still a good road.
