Turnstone sits on Porky Point King Island with close up views of the Southern swells. The sea is on three sides and all rooms have ocean views. See sea eagles from your bedroom.

It is a short drive to the new Ocean Dunes Golf Course and about 30 minutes to Cape Wickham.

The famed Cheese factory and Dairy is a kilometre away. The airport is ten minutes drive and Currie, where there are supermarkets and arrange of shops including a pharmacy and newsagent and Post office, is 20 minute drive. The local hospital and GP are also located in Currie.

The ocean right out front is full of crayfish and abalone. Many varieties of fish are caught right off the beach in front and of course all round the Island

For Bird lovers there is an abundance of life on the beach in front . The house is named after the Ruddy Turnstone which can be seen seasonally on Little Porky Beach. Pied Oyster catchers are a favourite. Sea Eagles are spectacular visitors

Winter guests can enjoy the ambience of the Jindara wood heater. Wood is supplied. Nobo electric wall heaters too warm up the double glazed house in winter. Big sliding doors and ceiling fans provide comfort on the warmest days of summer.

For the traditionalists a wonderful new Esse wood stove provides an alternative to the modern electrical oven and induction cooktop that sits beside it.

5 guests were catered for with ease. Outlay was very functional and relaxing. Lovely walks along the coast were at the doorstep and more than enough room for alone time as well.

The house was amazing. Our group was very impressed. Service and attentiveness of the Property Manager was great too. House had everything you’d need to cater for yourself but including wide variety of pantry items you’d need to cook with. We had a very relaxing stay at this wonderful property.

A very special place
A very special place
Turnstone is a very special property, wonderfully situated, with views from every window. The house is spacious, absorbing guests in such a way that there are plenty of options for privacy or just "get away" time. The huge, well-equipped kitchen is a delight, and the cheese platter on arrival was much appreciated. I can recommend it wholeheartedly.

Beyond the cheese factory
Beyond the cheese factory
Beyond the cheese factory nestled in the grassy dunes is Turnstone Beach House where we stayed for one week. Toward the ocean the grass gives way to cushion bush and pigsface and beyond this a low rocky headland and sandy beaches. Giant kelp washes up on the beach and rocks and adds to the character. Tammar wallabies are regulars here and it was nice to see that like the other wildlife (seabirds) they are wild and keep there distance. Blue Throat Wrasse inhabit the rocks and there were Taylor around the beaches (I did some catch and release fishing). Locally we swam, explored the beaches and rocks, took photos, flew kits, read books and played board games. The house is well designed for its location and has a great internal layout. Really well provisioned and layed out kitchen and bathrooms. The design gives you plenty of options to adapt to night and day, sun and shade and wind and no wind which enhances its liveability. The house is well located for adventures across the island, quick trips into Currie and return to airport. My partner and I and our children 15, 13 and 11 had a good holiday here.
