About this house rental
Perched on the side of a hill this cosy contemporary beach house overlooks the trees and ocean of Emu Bay. The house is private on its 5acres but only 700m from the 4.5km long beach of Emu Bay.
The house is designed as a coastal retreat for its owners and has an intimate connection to its bush surroundings and nearby sea.
The location, the incredible views and the house provide for a perfect retreat, a holiday and a place for relaxation.
The living and outside areas are north facing with views of the sea and bush. One can experience this unique location from all rooms at any time of the day and throughout the seasons. The 4 m long daybed is perfect for reading a book, taking in the view or a nap.
The bedroom has a Queen-size bed with views over the trees to the ocean. It is equipped with a reverse cycle A/C.
The Kitchen and living area is a large open space with an adjoining deck. The stainless steel kitchen has a gas stove and electric oven, and all necessary utensils and cooking requirements.
For cooler days there is an open fire for heating the living area with firewood supplied.
A 4m long day bed at the end of the room looks out over the landscape to the water.
Emu Bay is a quiet coastal hamlet located on the northern side of KI. Its 4.5km long white sandy beach is accessible to vehicles and provides safe swimming. There is also a jetty and a boat ramp. Emu Bay has no shopping facilities.
Emu Bay to Kingscote is only 15 min along a bitumen road where you can find most facilities including supermarket, petrol station, post office, banks and tourist information.
The Sealink ferry arrives from Cape Jervis at Penneshaw. The distance from Penneshaw to Emu Bay is approximately 75km, all on bitumen.
Emu Bay is 15 min from the airport.
House on the hill serves as an ideal base for touring the Island due to its central location and its proximity to Kingscote

Surprising well equipped home with wonderful views across Emu Bay.

This house is unique and stylish, with a beautiful view of Emu Bay but not another house in sight. There are lovely art works throughout and the decor is appealing and restful. All the facilities are high quality and very functional. We enjoyed watching stars from the verandah, sitting by the fire, and reading on the window seat. It is a probably a 10 minute walk down to the beach, and there were several koalas and kangaroos around on the property. Emu Bay was a good base to export the island. Highly recommend this house- we loved our stay.

Property is located in a rural setting with a short walk to Emu Bay Beach. House was well furnished. Cecilia was an excellent host with very prompt responses. We appreciated her suggestions for attractions and businesses on the Island. Viewing the kangaroos adjacent to the house while eating breakfast was an added feature.

The property matches the photos. The view is sensational from every room. We had kangaroos, a koala and an echidna come to visit, not to mention the birds and the dolphins in the bay. We loved it! The house is really well equipped, would highly recommend.

Perfect place to relax surrounded by nature
Had a very enjoyable stay in this cosy well designed house with a fabulous view over Emu Bay. A great base for exploring the island or just relaxing watching the local echidnas and kangaroos from the deck or comfy day bed. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely stay
Really cool place! Appreciated the break. Having to go to the blue hut for signal was a tad annoying but nothing that can be done about that. Overall an awesome stay thank you :)

A beautiful little sanctuary, with amazing views!!
This property is everything it says it is… beautifully maintained, spacious and cosy at the same time. The open fire place was our absolute favourite thing… being able to relax to that every night was stunning.
The views from all the windows and deck are breath taking!
Cecilia and Colin were amazing with their information about their property and Kangaroo Island and super friendly to deal with.
We will definitely we back!!!

Unusual and enticing
We chose this property as it is a little different, away from others and has a wonderful view. We were not disappointed. This was a welcoming place on a weekend with very average weather...the window seat became a favourite with a book and a view. Very clean and great communication with the owners. We enjoyed the indoor and outdoor artwork and the koalas and kangaroos which came in very close. Highly recommend.

Beautiful spot
We had a relaxing long weekend here recently. So tranquil and secluded with gorgeous views across the bay. Loved the fire and Cecilia made sure there was plenty of firewood. We would love to return someday! The peace was rejuvenating!

Beautiful view and surroundings
The house is modern, stylish and well furnished with spectacular views of Emu Bay especially early in the morning at sunrise. It is located in a large property that is very tranquil and private. This is a perfect place for a retreat or much needed time out.

A little touch of paradise
Cecilia has a beautiful and artfully decorated home overlooking Emu Bay. Great for couples or friends who like a peaceful location, beach walks etc and it close to most of the KI attractions.

How's the serenity
Beautiful views from every room and so peaceful. Feels like you're in the middle of nowhere but in fact you're only minutes from lots of beautiful food and vistas.

Lovely property and location
House on the Hill is a lovely property in a very private location. The house is tranquil, comfortable and quiet with great coastal views. The overall cleaning of the house was a letdown. It is about a 20min drive to the nearest supermarket in Kingscote, so basic essentials such as milk, bread, tea/coffee would've been a nice touch for long distance travellers.

The house is really beautiful with a great view. The problem is the cleaner.
It's a beautiful place and we liked the house pretty much. The problem is that you have seen in a minute that it is not proper cleaned. I contacted the owners and there where really nice and helpful. The cleaner came the next day again when we where not there but to be honest, it was not really better. It's a shame and I really think that is the only problem that the owner need someone to rely on.

Perfect short stay, close to beach and a lovely secluded home.
Perfect stay - luxury eco home with all the amenities you need. Felt like home from the moment we arrived. Only a short trip to main town to top up on goodies. Sitting out on the verandah in the evening was very relaxing. Would definitely return.

We had a very enjoyable week at this lovely home. The house is comfortable, great views of the bay and nice artwork. It is conveniently located 15 mins from Kingscoat and easy reach to the roads to the rest of the Island. We would highly recommend this home.

Absolutely perfect
I couldn't have asked for more. What a brilliant property, in a brilliant location.
It's an absolute dream home, and the surroundings were just as beautiful. Will be back, thank you.

Perfect spot on the island
We stayed at the house on the hill for 3 nights and couldn’t have asked for a better getaway spot! It was absolutely perfect and we can’t recommend it enough. The property is easy to find, conveniently located 15-20 mins from Kingscote and with views of emu bay we were lucky to enjoy over a glass of wine. The hosts provided us with a list of things to do based on our interests and our only regret is not having had more time on the island. Highly recommended and we will be back. Thank you Cecilia and Colin!

Lovely hidden treasure
We really loved our getaway at House On The Hill. So relaxing comfortable & well equipped. The private bush land, the fireplace, daybeds to read or soak in the stunning views were lovely & even some wildlife to watch on the front lawn. Such a tranquil place that draws you in more the longer you are there. Recommend it & love to revisit. The call from Colin to make sure all was good was lovely as well.
