The location was great with our own access to beautiful Emu Bay. The accommodation was comfortable and had plenty of room. The little penguins on the deck in the evenings made our stay extra special.
No complaints at all. There could maybe be a few more utensils, plates etc but everything we needed was there.

Beautiful location- great view from deck
Very basic supplies provided such as coffee machine but no coffee to use in it - no milk etc.

Excellent location raised above the beach which is accessed via some large stepping stones down the dune. Small 1 bedroom 'shack' but has all amenities including a large fridge, oven and air con.
The mattress needs replacing unless you like rolling into the middle. At the time we stayed we were serenaded nightly by the penguins - unique and cute at first but not when you end up averaging 5 - 6 hours sleep a night. This became worse on the night the poor penguins were terrorised by vehicles racing up and down the beach whilst they were trying to get to their burrows and they then 'squawked' all night. Unfortunately and illogically driving on the beach is permitted.

The location and the view
The bedroom was very small and the water pressure of the shower was too weak.
4.3
Location, location, location - brilliant!
Insufficient hot water for 10 second showers (and we get the limitations of tank water). Bringing this to the attention of the agent seemed pointless.
Uncomfortable mattress on a bed that took up most of the room - nowhere to put a book, glass of water, specs, etc.
No milk. Could also consider providing a bit of ground coffee for the machine - but this is a minor consideration.
We get that this is essentially a beach shack but some minor improvements are necessary for paying guests. A few improvements would really elevate the experience.
Hope this is taken in the constructive spirit in which it is intended.

The location was perfect, a path lead straight from the accommodation down to the beach. The views from the deck were amazing.
The accommodation was clean & comfortable, the photos provided did not do it justice, it was much nicer in person.
4.3
The back deck has fantastic views to the Bay and easy access to the beach was fantastic. Early morning walks on the beach watching the dolphins
The interior of this accomodation is in serious need of some updating and TLC. Though functional it needs painting and a proper clean and repairs. It was very disappointing to see the level of repairs/maintenance needed given the $255 pn we paid for 3 nights. As a comparison, a last minute booking at a 4 star central Sydney hotel with breakfast and city views in a immaculate setting was cheaper. I know it costs a lot to do the repairs but customers expect better I think. There were squished mosquitos, dirty floors, dusty headboards, chipped paint. I appreciate this is a island setting and I really didnt expect perfection BUT I did expect something in a better condition at this price. I also noted in the visitors book the accomodation has had a constant flow of customers which is great and would also suggest it has been receiving reasonable income to cover some of the cost of the repairs that need to be done

The location on Emu Beach and the outdoor deck
1. The Bed was small (for 2 people) and very very Uncomfortable (sunken and soft).
2. The sofa was practically unuseable.
3. The shower was small and dated.
4. There was no cupboard space to put our luggage. It had to be in the living room
5. The wifi did not work. We needed that as there was limited coverage on Optus or Telstra. I was told that there was a DoDo outage. Yet I could see DoDo connections - from the Neighbour wifi presumably
4.3
Location was beautiful. Cooking facilities were good.
The bedroom was very cramped with no room to put even a glass of water beside your bed at night. Some shampoo conditioner and more soap would have been good.

A stunning view of the most beautiful beach. You simply can’t beat this location. The penguins that nest on the property are just adorable and it was an absolute highlight of my trip watching them waddle around each evening. Absolutely loved sitting on the deck. My partner was delighted by the coffee machine.
The bed sunk in the middle so it wasn’t very comfy.

Location was excellent & loved the balcony overlooking the beach as the view was fantastic. So enjoyed the little penguin family we had nesting under the balcony & the wildlife - birds/wallabies. The cottage had most things we needed for our 5 day stay. It was nice enough for what we needed, just the two of us, a very relaxing stay.
Bedroom was a little small especially as we needed space for CPAP Machine & there wasn't any room for a bedside table. Didn't have much room on each side of the bed to walk. Not much space for luggage.

The bed is small and the mattress sags, it's time to update the bed.

location perfect to watch native life and relax
Sofa -bed in lunge room - needs to be clean. Not very comfortable to sleep

Love the location, although it was a bit of a drive to get food or go to cool places it was amazing to be able to relax on the balcony and not hear anyone else. The house was awesome and the owner was lovely.
Although the penguins were very cute, they were quite loud and kept us up every night but it was worth it

The view of the Bay was the highlight for us!

This is a true beach shack; simple, unpretentious but very comfortable with the most incredible view. It sits nestled amongst native trees and shrubs with a large deck framed by trees so you can look out across all of Emu Bay. It is ideal for a couple (it would be a squeeze with kids) and close enough to Kingscote to get supplies/takeaway if needed. We had 5 blissful nights here and loved it! If you are looking to truly unwind, this is a hidden gem.
Nothing- we loved it all
