About this property

The Beach House - just steps to Brown's Beach

If you are dreaming of escaping from the noise and bustle of everyday life – then let The Beach House welcome you. It provides your ideal Kangaroo Island accommodation where you are 30 steps from the beach, surrounded by bushland.

The Beach House embodies simplicity, comfort and a relaxing beachside atmosphere. With three bedrooms, it accommodates up to 6 people with a queen sized bed in the master bedroom, and two further bedrooms each with two single beds. The bathroom is off the back door but still under the main roof.

When it comes to dinner, there is a fully equipped kitchen or the BBQ just out the front to cook up your favourite meat (or days catch) as you gaze out over the Bay. It’s great to sit outside and sip a G&T watching the sunset, and then have your dinner around the outdoor table, swapping stories of your day’s adventures.

• Large dining and sitting room overlooking the beach and bay
• TV, stereo with CDs, selection of books & a swag of old fashioned games such as Scrabble and Monopoly

Second time around
Our second stay and it did not disappoint. The absolute beachfront and the resident birdlife are key attractions. The property is well equipped and it is easy to get to Dudley Peninsula attractions like Penneshaw and American River.

The Beach House is an amazing property and provided a perfect place for us to gather to enjoy some quality time together. We loved the natural environment- the trees, birds, ocean, dolphins, sunsets. Absolutely superb and we’d love to come back.

The Beach House
Beautiful location close to Penneshaw but in the bush with limited access to Browns Beach and stunning views across the bay. Very quiet and private with abundant birds and wildlife. Spacious and well equipped accommodation, but could do with some updating and new mattresses. A true beach side living experience! We loved it!

The perfect relaxing getaway
We loved it here, especially with the beach only a few steps away. We visited during winter and the wood fire kept as warm and cosy. We would definitely love to come back again another time.

At one with nature
The property is a classic beach shack and is very clean, tidy and comfortable. It's been set up with a wide range of cooking equipment, crockery and games. It has great views over the water and along the coast and is only a few steps from the beach. It is very relaxing just being in that environments, beathing is the coastal air and watching the vast array of bird species in their natural environment

Idyllic location
Great holiday House with everything you need to relax or self cater. Loved the outdoor space, the views of the bay and so close to the water for walking or to sit and enjoy the sunset. Thoroughly recommend this home for a holiday on KI

Superb location
I absolutely loved the location of the beach house. We spent a magical morning out on our paddle board and many other days exploring and beachcombing. Its a very special place. We went in April and were blessed with lovely weather. The kids were very excited when we spotted a seal one evening

Peaceful location, shame about the beds.
First impressions were disappointing with unpleasant odour throughout the house and terribly hard and thin mattresses. Loved the proximity to the water despite rocks and weed. House is basic and more of a small cottage

The Beach House was the perfect spot for a family. Clean, private and an absolutely stunning location. Access straight to the beach and lovely garden for children to explore. Wood heater to keep you warm. Everything you need for a stay on Kangaroo Island. Would definitely stay there again if we returned.

Perfect Getaway
This property met all the needs of our group of 6 adults. It gave us plenty of space to relax and enjoy meals together either at the dining table or at the BBQ after exploring the island independently . A beautiful serene location that was private and unspoilt. The variety of birds and the view was just lovely. Conveniently placed to Penneshaw and other attractions so we had plenty of choices of places to visit. Very comfortable.
