About this property

Aalen Beach House | Kangaroo Island - Direct beach access in a central location

Aalen Beach House is located on the seafront at Kingscote, the heart of Kangaroo Island
Situated 1.6 km from the town centre and directly on the foreshore of Nepean Bay. The house is modern and has large living areas , with the front deck stretching the width of the house overlooking the sea . The beach is just a few steps away. The house has 3 queen bedrooms to accomodate up to 6 adults and a bunk room for 4 kids. There are 2 separate lounge areas, both with flat screen TVs, to ensure there is ample space for everyone to relax in. The kitchen is fitted out with modern appliances and faces the open plan dining and living area leading out to the front deck.
There are two bathrooms with walk in showers, plus a separate bath in the main bathroom and a fully equipped laundry in the second. There are 2 separate toilets.

A large spacious family friendly house where you can enjoy magnificent views over water sunrises, relaxing strolls on the long beach, swim in the safe waters of Nepean Bay and soak up the natural fauna and flora .
Aalen Beach House is a perfect central location to visit any area of the island. Kingscote, the main commercial centre of Kangaroo Island, is in easy walking distance via the paved walkway passing the front, and the Airport is only 10 minutes away.

Aalen is a German term for basking, we trust you will enjoy basking in the peacefulness and beauty of the setting that inspired the name.

Thanks Paul and Jen
Great property, very comfortable and so well laid out with everything you could need. It was a great venue to relax, watch the water and tides and the clouds or veg in front of the tele, cook a barbecue dinner or walk to the cafe for brekkie or the pub for lunch. We did all sorts of relaxing. We loved it and were sad to leave.

Very impressive house with full frontage onto the ocean, heaps of room and very clean. We had to book in a day early and leave a day late because of ferry cancellation's and the hosts were very accommodating which was a great help.

The house was exactly what we hoped for. We loved being able to wander down to the beach and being only a short drive from town. We appreciated the portable cot and the early check in so much, thank you.

Perfect holiday home
We stayed at Aalen Beach House for 7 nights. Aalen had everything we needed, including garage parking for our vehicle and our bicycles. The views across Nepean Bay are lovely and we enjoyed being on the edge of Kingscote in a peaceful location. The shared path (bitumen sealed) in front of Aalen follows the shoreline and is a real highlight of the location. The path also provides safe easy access by bicycle to Kingscote (4 Km return). Kangaroo Island and Kingscote: We travelled in May, which is out of peak season, so we didn't encounter much traffic on our travels. Kingscote is a good base for longer stays on KI. Some locations on KI only have access by unsealed roads, we found most of those to be in superb condition allowing safe driving with our SUV. Kingscote is the largest town on KI. The pubs and cafes are good. The local supermarket has everything you would expect and priced are basically the same as on the mainland. Fuel prices on KI are up to 20% higher than the mainland.
