About this property

beachfront house with panoramic sea views and direct access to the beach

Alchemy Blue has direct beach access and 180 degree views from American River to Rocky Point and beyond.

Reading, soaking up the pristine clear air whilst enjoying a glass of wine on the sun deck are but some of the pleasures the house offers. Enjoy the beautiful sunrise while dolphin spotting and around sunset interact with the wallabies and local wildlife exploring the dunes around you.

At night the clear skies light up with truly brilliant stars.

Swimming, fishing, bird-watching, walking or just relaxing on the soft white sand is what Island Beach has to offer.

Beach access for boat launching is only 500 metres away

Alchemy Blue has it all……..

Great beachfront house

Upmarket beachfront property with great views over the ocean. The beach is perfect for children and ideal for long walks. The bird life is wonderful too from blue fairy wrens to pelicans. We also discovered an excellent restaurant - Sunset Food and Wine - that was down our end of the island. First class food, wine, service and views.

Peaceful little paradise

My husband and I had a great stay at Alchemy Blue. The home is well equipped, clean and comfortable. We found the location to be a great base for our planned activities - about a 12 min drive into Penneshaw for supplies and only 30-40 mins to most other attractions on this side of the island. But the best part is of course the magical view. With only a few meters between you and the sand, the sound of the water throughout the day and evening was very much our favourite part of this lovely home. Waking to a beautiful sunrise over the water, and then in the evening star gazing at the KI sky whilst sitting on the large deck at night, it’s really quite special. The house next door is close but we had no problem at all with this during our four night stay. Aside from bumping into each other on occasion on the deck, you have your privacy. Host was quick with communications and check in a breeze. Would very much recommend.

Idealic Getaway

Just a short drive from Penneshaw nestled amongst the sand dunes, you will find this amazing treat which makes you feel like you are a million miles away from civilisation. The kitchen was great but some items needed extra cleaning. Bathroom was a good size. Definitely needed both fans on during the night as it did get a little warm but hey its Summer. Bed was a good size just a little too firm for our liking. Amazing access to the beach and great outdoor dining area. Overall would stay again and will bring friends to join us. Thanks for sharing your home.

Great location

Excellent location and well appointed, clean house. The only downsides were the shared wall with Alchemy means you need to be very quiet and the last minute lack of laundry service availability was a pain.

Relaxing and picturesque

Really superb location, absolute beach frontage, amazing views over the best low-energy beach on Kangaroo Island. Friendly local wildlife. Well appointed property with convenient rear access, excellent kitchen & BBQ facilities for self-catering. Great outdoor dining with views. Light, well ventilated rooms with comfortable beds, indoor shared space large enough for multiple activities at once. Quiet location for relaxation and contemplation, but less than 15 minutes by car to Penneshaw for high quality & wide range grocery resupply. We had a fantastic week on the Island relaxing, walking, swimming, playing games, and visiting local attractions. Would definitely recommend visiting KI and in particular this property.

Ideal Island Beach accommodation

This place was amazing. A few metres walk from island beach that has turquoise waters, beautiful shells, and was far longer than I could walk from end to end. We went out fishing on the kayak and caught lunch. The kids played for hours in the sand. The house is so well set up, everything you could need including sharp knives, tissues, laundry detergent and even things you didn't know you would want such as a kid step (7 year old decided to cook bacon for the first time) cards and kangaroo visitors in the evening. The house is so well designed for privacy, and temperature control. Bedroom and kitchen/lounge look into the most beautiful view and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean is one of my favourite things in the world. I had the best sleep I've had in a year. Close to Penneshaw. Enjoyed lunch at Sunset Food and Wine nearby and also Dudley's wines. We kept in touch with owners and close watch on CFS website as the fires were active during our visit, but this part of the island was luckily protected and remains a haven. Locals were welcoming of the business so we spent freely on food and wine and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Thanks so much. We hope to be back next year.

Perfect house for our family on beautiful KI

We stayed for 5 nights and loved Alchemy Blue as a base to explore KI, or just relax on the beach out front. Lots of extra touches like the board games and binoculars, made it even more special for the kids and adults alike.

Amazing Location!!!

We absolutely loved our time at this beautiful home! The interior of the house was amazing and spacious. The deck was lovely and the table accommodated the six of us with room to spare. The view of the beach was gorgeous, especially from the master room. This location was ideal because the beach wasn't crowded and there were lots of shells to find. The kids loved that there were bunk beds in their room and that they didn't have to share. Lovely property that we will be sharing with others.
