KI beach retreat
Silver Gull is a clean and well-presented beach shack in prime position with fantastic views over the beautiful, quiet beach. It is just a 5-minute walk to the pub, cafes and grocery store and comprehensively furnished and fitted out with everything you need for your get-away on KI. I would recommend a stay at Silver Gull to anyone looking for a comfortable and no-fuss holiday on the island.

We once again enjoyed our stay for Christmas at the ‘Silver Gull’. The house is always very well presented and with an enclosed yard is ideal for our young family. Very convenient to the beach and facilities. I could highly recommend this property.

Had an excellent stay. Property was great and in a fantastic location.
Only issue was the two single beds. They are too small and need updating. Overall I would recommend the property and go back there myself.

Lovely beach front property with big picture windows to while away your time watching the ferries going to and fro to Cape Jervis. Good base to check out KI. A very short walk to fresh coffee and the supermarket. Well maintained house. Comfortable beds. Fluffy big towels. Fully equipped with bbq, large oven and gas cooktop etc. Cute private back yard with outdoor hot/cold shower. Now if only the weather had played along…

Kicking back on KI
Beautiful, comfortable family holiday home that had everything we needed. The location is superb - close to the ferry, across the road from the beach, close to the beautiful Sculpture trail and the supermarket, cafes and the pub. Our requests were accommodated promptly by Les. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this home.

Little piece of paradise
We loved our stay, it was more than we ever expected. Beds were comfy the house was spacious for my husband and I and our 10yr old and 17yr old boys. This was one of our favourite holidays and we have travelled to many places overseas and Australia. There were things to do when there were cooler days and perfect for warmer days as the beach was amazing. We went fishing off the jetty and took loads of salmon, squid and garfish home. On the warmer days the boys spent most their time on the beach in the water and we as parents were so relaxed. The amenities were wonderful, Supermarket, local pub and cafes all in walking distance. The lounge was so comfortable and I loved watching the ferry coming and going. The location is the best on the island. Thank u so so much Les and Sonya, it was just a perfect stay! Can’t wait to come again.

Constructive criticism
Lovely views.Property was tidy but not clean. The 1st thing in entering was the smell of black mould from the kitchen wooden dish drainer,the black mould was obviously there for some time. We had to clean it with bleach. Mould in the bottom of the shower. Cupboard doors and drawers in kitchen and bathroom sticky. Table top sticky. Back of chairs sticky. Place mats sticky. King bed head unclean. For our own comfort we cleaned some items. Photos can be supplied on request. A shower caddy should be supplied,nowhere to put soap shampoo etc except on the floor. Around light switches grubby finger marks. Too many personal things in the property, eg food,photographs, clothes, old bedding in wardrobe etc. We pointed out some of these items to the owner prior to leaving the property. We found the property dated and overpriced. We expected not to have to clean anything. A partial refund is warranted

Lovely place
Very spacious, much more so than the photos show. Well equipped kitchen. Clearly a functioning family home. Well situated very near the beach and rocks for the kids to look for crabs. A few minutes walk from the pub and a pizza place. Good communication from Les throughout. As a side note, saw another place on the beach front that was more expensive and half the size - very glad I chose this place!

Impressive
While working in Kangaroo Island we stayed at the "Silver Gull" for several nights and to say we were impressed is an understatement. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, location was brilliant and could not ask for more. I will be heading back to Kangaroo Island in the near future and will be booking my family in here for our stay also. 10 out of 10 from me.

About the host

Hosted by Les and Sonya Stewart

Host profile image
This is our family holiday home which we updated in 2005 and recently repainted.
Our grand children now enjoy the fun their own parents had.
The road is a cul de sac hence no busy traffic, yet overlooking the beach.

Why they chose this property

Great for rest and relaxation with a smart TV. Just use your own internet from your smart phone.
