I booked this house in the first week of school holidays for my children and their families to stay. A big family holiday. House is brilliant and provided an amazing entertaining areas that work well for large groups. Craig the groundsman is very helpful and met us when we arrived, gave a tour of the house, telling us how things worked etc. He also came back to help when phoned, topped up the wood for indoor fire when it turned cold and other little things that made the whole experience fabulous. He is a great source of information and went out of his way to make the stay enjoyable. Highly recommend this house.

The large house was ideal for our group of 12. Both inside and outside there were plenty of separate areas for small groups to enjoy. The huge inside dining table and several others on the deck provided for great family get togethers at meal times. All bedrooms having ensuites made for easy living. The swimming pool, spa, sauna and 8 ball table were all well utilised. Craig the caretaker came every second day to check that the spa chemicals were operating correctly. Some of the equipment in the commercial kitchen (particularly the knives) need upgrading. Overall a wonderful setting for our family holiday on Kangaroo Island.

Our stay was really great. The caretaker, Craig went out of his way to make sure that all 16 of us were comfortable and had what we needed. Unfortunately for us and Craig, our stay was right in the middle of much needed renovations. He explained that painting and other renovations had started the month previous to our stay but the house was as clean and comfortable as he could make it for us. It’s a beautiful property and I hope he is able to make the changes necessary to bring it up to its potential. The Greens

The property is amazing and unique.The size and location is fantastic, particularly for a large group. Craig was really helpful and easy to deal with. We did find a number of factors disappointing. This includes - the kitchen. The large dishwasher was broken, the small one is not installed correctly meaning the top shelf kept rolling forward when it was open - kitchen items were everywhere. Nothing made sense, cutlery in 2 different places - there was clothing in the laundry on arrival. For the price of the house we felt the property should have a clothes dryer - the water system in the house was shocking. Every shower in every bathroom was awful due to difficulty getting the water temperature right. The main bathroom has mould on the ceiling and the second sink had no taps. The working sink had no hot water to it - considering the price of the property it was shocking to find the pool was unheated - the worst part was the fact we were charged a significant amount for fold out couches in a main living area. On arrival Craig had not been told we had additional guests so no additional beds were made and it was clear immediately that the fold out lounges were not going to be suitable for the children due to their location. Craig brought over his own mattresses for us to use in the theatre room. We really think the cost we paid for mattresses on the floor is unreasonable. - The property is advertised to hold 20 people, we were told children are not normally allowed so would be charged at adult prices, yet there is a room specifically set up for children - the property is very tired and dated. Not something you expect when you are paying top price This feedback was provided to the property owner with no response

This house is incredible. Clean and spacious. Everything you need for a relaxing, tranquil holiday. Only drawback was no ceiling fans on deck and pool/yard area was very tired and in need of some maintenance. I understand some upgrades are taking place in the near future which will address this. Looking forward to coming back.

Beautiful and serene location with wonderful outlook

Fabulous place to stay with a group, very spacious and accommodative. Just needs to have the mattresses in all rooms upgraded as they are tired with no give. The board games need upgrading as some are just a mess with parts missing or not complete. The darts also need replacing as they come apart when throwing. Pavers sharp and uneven in parts around pool edge, could do with some pool toys. Other than that had a great and fun time.

There were 11 of us in our group and it worked perfectly. The house is incredible and ticked all the boxes for us. Craig the manager was always close by to answer our questions and requests. Would definitely recommend to large groups wanting an amazing KI experience.

I can't understand previous comments as we could not fault this house. It has everything. Beds were so comfortable. Absolutely spotless clean. No issues with hot water, industrial dishwasher was awesome, sauna was roasting hot. Craig the caretaker was just an absolute gem who does anything for you for your stay. He went through the instructions for everything with us at check in for the oven, dishwasher, sauna, etc so no issues at all. Wi Fi password didn't work and within 5 minutes he came and fixed. The beach was beautiful and not a person in sight. It is your own private beach. We can't wait to come back to this house. Thanks so much especially to Craig who looked after us so well.

Below expectations

Below expectations

We stayed with our extended family to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday (10 people). Although we enjoyed the experience we were disappointed with several things that you expect when you pay premium dollars for holiday accommodation. Unfortunately the hot water wasn’t working for the master bedroom (which we found out had been an ongoing issue prior to our stay) and we had to relocate to another shower which was very inconvenient. The airconditioning wasn’t working at its optimum and wasn’t warm enough. The sauna didn’t heat up to the expected temperature. The electric blankets would have been great if they actually worked. The dishwasher by and large functioned but was a bit tricky and temperamental to operate. Some basic food items which should have been there for a property of this price, like ground salt and pepper were not available. Although we had a late checkout, the Wifi cut off at 10am which was extremely inconvenient. We were only given 1 Robe for the master bedroom which had no waist tie and appeared soiled. The BBQ was very small for the size of the accommodation which was limiting for catering. Our caretaker was very helpful and attentive but he was hampered by some of the functional shortcomings of the property which we expected should be at a higher standard with superior attention to detail for the price paid.

Amazing Kingscote property

Amazing Kingscote property

This property is amazing!! For families or even a friends getaway! All rooms with their own en-suite, comfortable beds and soft bath robes. Kitchen is a home owners dream. The only thing is that we weren’t advised that the pool wasn’t clean for swimming but this may be due to the colder weather coming to an end. Kids loved the spa and the theatre room with endless DVD’s to choose from. Will definitely be back for a longer stay!!!
