This property is gorgeous. A very private setting with beautiful views of river and bush and we had stunning sunsets to enjoy. The two kyaks were such a bonus as the river was glassy for 2 days while we there. The pool table was fun too even though in need of repair and levelling. A superb spot to go.

The house is well positioned with good views over the river. The beach is a short walk away. The house is spacious and is very well appointed. I highly recommend staying here.

We had a great time hanging out and playing pool at this property. It was well appointed with plenty of supplies in the kitchen, including great coffee and the basics (salt, pepper, tea, oil etc). We found the house to be spotlessly clean and was very comfortable. The kayaks were a great added bonus and we loved sitting out on the decking to watch the sunset. Thanks for a great stay!

Fantastic spot beach and river relaxing in one great location
We had three nights stay here. Really not long enough. Loved the location easy walk to the beach and river. Great spot to take the provided kayaks for a spin.
The local wildlife would pop up every night when we had tea on the balcony, such a wonderful experience.
House was huge, comfortable and clean.
Great home for a few families.
Highly recommend staying here.

Amazing holiday
We had a wonderful stay at Vivonne Bay. The house was in a beautiful location with views over the river and a short walk to an amazing beach. The house was great with everything we needed and the kids loved playing pool and I enjoyed the spacious balcony. I’m hoping people continue to visit KI after the fires as this area and house is a place not to be missed.

Brilliant location, great house
This property had everything we needed (plus some) and was in a great location. Vivonne Bay has an incredible beach and is also close to many of the main attractions on the island.
We were there during a heat wave but still didn't need to use the aircon due to the large verandahs on both sides of the house. It was a great home to return to after 42 degree heat elsewhere on the island. The kayaks were also great and we used these daily.

Good Location
This house is in a good location for activities on the central, south, and west side of Kangaroo Island. We really enjoyed our stay because of the convenient location.
Unfortunately the wifi at the house wasn't really working. We could connect, but we couldn't email or send pictures from our phones. We contacted the owners, who were very responsive. They informed us that the previous guests must have used all the data and we were out of luck. This was very frustrating for us since we reserved that house over others because it had wifi. We could have stayed somewhere else in the area for less. There was sand in one of the beds and we pulled a blanket out to curl up on the couch with and it was also sandy and full of grass spurs. I assume a previous guests used it in the yard and just put it away dirty, but we spent quite a bit of time trying to clean it up and pick spurs out of our clothing.

Lovely views
We enjoyed our stay, it is a big house and would suit a large family . The birds and wallabies were lovely to watch (and feed) Beds are comfortable. The pool table provided a few laughs!
The cleanliness was a bit below average, but because some vehicles wiz past at high speeds it creates a lot of dust, and we found there were lots of mozzies.
An outside area to clean fish would save having to do them inside.
We would return due to the fantastic location. Thank you

Our stay ran smoothly with no hitches.
Only one suggestion:- mobility assistance bars fitted to at least one toilet and shower would be an asset.

Great property in a convenient location
Our 3 generation family group enjoyed our stay on Kangaroo Island at the Vivonne Bay Island getaway . We loved the easy access to the river for fishing and kayaking , and the location of the house half way along the coast made it easy to get to the main attractions. Well equipped house which made for a relaxing holiday enjoyed by everyone in our group.

Great Holiday Property
This is a great holiday property with lots of space for adults & kids. Our group of four adults had a wonderful three nights. The house layout is roomy and comfortable. The facilities are good but beginning to show wear & tear and the need for maintenance.
While there is plenty of clothes storage in the three of the bedrooms at one end of the house, the main bedroom, which is at the other end of the house, has no clothes storage or hanging facilities at all.
The location is excellent for local beach access & for exploring the central & west areas of Kangaroo Island.
The property is excellent value for money.

Great Location
We had a great 4 night stay in this house. Sadly the weather was freezing cold and windy. There is reverse cycle air con in the front room and that helped a lot to keep us warm.
The house is in a very good location so easy to access all that is on offer in this part of the island. Best fish and chips at Vivonne Bay store!!!
The house is definitely looking a bit worn but the bed was really comfortable and extra blanket kept us warm at night.
Kitchen was good too and lots of pots and pans etc.
Bathroom large and nice to have the heat lights.
Deck has a lovely view but as it was so cold and windy we didn't really get to sit out there and enjoy it much. It must be lovely in the Summer.
Make sure you visit Rustic Blue just down the road and sit on the deck with a cuppa and slice and enjoy the ambience. Lovely place to pick up gifts too.
The Remarkables and Admirals Arch are a must visit and Flinders Nat Park.
Check out Bales Beach too when you visit the Sealions. So pretty and lovely for a walk.
Everything is within 40 mins drive so this is a wonderful house to base yourself.
Hope to return and next time I think we will come in Feb when it is warmer!!
Thanks Brian for the towels. Much appreciated.

We had a wonderful taste of KI although we could have picked better weather, September – is it Spring yet? Vivonne Bay is a great location and the Island Getaway house has all and more than you could ask for, offering lovely views of the river nestled into the bushland, giving protection from any extreme weather conditions. On our arrival we were welcomed by two local Koalas taking residence in the gum tree in the front yard, pretty special. We were also greeted by a Wallaby in the late afternoon early evening whilst we were enjoying the views of the river and admiring the local bird life from the front veranda. We will definitely go back to explore further this beautiful pristine part of our country staying at Vivonne Bay Island Getaway for its fantastic amenities, location and solitude.

We were on a short tour of KI. There were four individual people, and we had plenty of space for a comfortable bedroom each. The house was a great size and close to the beautiful beach. We would have liked to stay longer.

We just returned home after spending 6 wonderful nights at Island Getaway. This house is perfectly positioned... an easy drive to all the main attractions on the island, walking distance to the beautiful Vivonne Bay beach and the deck overlooks the river. Best of all it's quiet and secluded and you feel a million miles away. The house is big and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to self-cater. It's also a really safe and comfortable place for kids - there are no steps inside and the front deck can be secured with gates to keep little ones in sight. We didn't have any mobile reception at Vivonne Bay so the wifi was really handy. Our ferry back to Adelaide was delayed due to the weather and Brian (owner) contacted us to make sure we were aware of the delays... great service, great location, great holiday house. We'll definitely be back! Thanks so much Brian - this was our 3rd trip to KI and the best by far! :)

With six adults and three children space was a priority for us .Island Getaway was perfect, both spacious and affordable.The walk to the absolutely beautiful beach became a regular pleasure and the children were very happy there were no long drives to enjoy other sites.I would happily recommend this lovely spot to any family.

A beautiful setting overlooking the Harriet River - lovely at sunrise and dusk. Island Getaway is a very spacious and comfortable home and we easily did lots of exploring from this base. We had fun playing pool and loved sitting on the deck in the evening, watching little wallabies in the front garden. Whilst only the two of us this time, there's heaps of room for extended family groups. Can definitely recommend for a very happy stay.

Clean, roomy and ideal location for 2 families. Convenient to attractions on Kangaroo Island

Very good sized house with 4 large bedrooms and two bathrooms/toilets & a large kitchen & entertaining area made it very comfortable. With all the native scrub around the property and adjacent it made it seem secluded even though it's right in Vivonne Bay. The morning view off the deck looking over the river was excellent and the easy stroll to the beach was also great. Definitely the sort of place we would like to stay at again sometime.
