About this property

Island Chalet on Kangaroo Island

A spacious 3 bedroom house in a bush setting with complete privacy, just a 2 minute walk from the beach. The cottage is architect-designed with a cathedral ceiling and open plan living room. Two large queen-size bedrooms open onto the garden. Upstairs is an attic/loft bedroom. There is free wifi (NBN), a library, satellite TV and board games.

The cottage is set in a large bush garden with grassy area perfect for kids to play and a setting for eating outside. There is a gas barbecue. Blue wrens, red-browed finches and other birds are constant visitors to the garden. For this reason, although our accommodation is dog-friendly, we do not welcome cats.

Only 2 minute's walk away, across a park is the beach. It is calm and safe for small children to play and beautiful to take long walks along each morning.

On the edge of the beach, a path for walking or cycling surrounded by native bush, follows the coast around, leading 3 km into Kingscote where you can get good coffee and breakfast /lunch, one block up from the beach. On the way you pass the sailing club which has a great beach for swimming. A little further on you come to a park with a tidal pool, lawn and picnic areas. This is a great place for the whole familly to swim. Alternative you can fish for whiting and tommy ruffs from the rocks at the out edge.

Fishing is also great from the Kingscote jetty . You can get bait from the hardware shop, one block up from the beach.

Down the road from the cottage is the Kingscote Golf Course. You can get picked up from the cottage or Kingscote for all of the tours to the southern beaches, Flinders Chase and other attractions

Island Chalet is great for the perfect family holiday on Kangaroo Island!

Island Chalet is a lovely place to stay on KI. My life long dream was to see kangaroos and the island did not disappoint. :). The house is in a perfect location- we walked into town several times along the beach. Carole is an excellent host. We highly recommend this home- it was perfect!

Lovely stay on Kangaroo Island
The property had everything you needed for a comfortable stay even a resident Koala in the garden. Good location for exploring the island. One criticism would be that the trees need cutting back on the driveway as quite difficult to get in and out.

Lovely, relaxing property!
Great location and proximity to the beach. The garden was so peaceful and we enjoyed all of the bird life. The house was super clean and had everything you needed, even the muesli was a lovely touch. Carole was great to deal with and always promptly responded. We have recommended this property to family and friends to stay here when visiting KI.

Perfect retreat
What a perfect little base for a trip to KI. The home is well laid out with some very lovely personal touches to enhance your stay. The yard is spacious and peaceful enough that you may not want to leave! Carole comes across as warm and accommodating in our communications. We believe we will be back again for future trips.

A little oasis
We loved our brief stay here. It was well equipped and nice and warm in winter. The kids ran the Kingscote Park Run which is a return 2.5km along the beachside track towards Brownlow, starting at Tidal Pool and turning near where the Chalet is. I'm glad there was 2 tables as we used one for the puzzle - we did manage to finish the bottom 3rd before we left!! The dog loved exploring the garden and also her time at Jan's pet care while we got to do the amazing Seal Conservation tour and see Flinders Chase National Park. Thanks for having us to stay.

lovely property nestled in tea tree. very comfortable house in a lovely location close to a peaceful and quiet beach. being close to Kingscote was helpful for shopping and it was also close to other KI locations. Really enjoyed the long driveway through the trees. Carole went to an effort to help us when we needed help.

Feels like home
Great place to stay, our small bread dogs loved the grassy fully fenced front yard. Was very easy to relax and a great location. Beautiful sunrise from the beach only metres away. Would definitely stay again. Only thing I would change is i would stay longer. Loved it. Beaches, food, art, wildlife, caves, tours, charters, the list goes on. So much to do, The land has recovered remarkably well since the 2019 fires. Already planning out next stay
