Great location & excellent views.

The location, view & unexpected wildlife were excellent. The bathroom & kitchen were clean

The couch could do with a good clean. Poor pillows. BBQ needs a good clean Could do with a good around clean, not spot clean. Cup draw liners need cleaning or replacing.

This place was almost the best thing about our visit to KI

Such a homely feel away from home. Very well appointed. The kids absolutely loved it. Close enough to all the amenities of Kingscote with a real coastal feel. Amazing position, great for exploring with the kids, fishing etc. listening to the penguins come in to nest every night was a huge bonus.

Nothing to complain about.

We loved it.

We loved the location and would not hesitate to recommend The Salty Dog to anyone staying on Kangaroo Island. We fell in love with Emu Bay and Kangaroo Island as a whole. With the ocean at your door step and visible from most windows but especially the large living room windows. Emu Bay is breathtakingly beautiful. The "SALTY DOG" has the BEST location on the bay. 180degree View of the Ocean. The house is well appointed with everything you could need including a Webber BBQ. We felt really at home. Emu Bay is a great central location. If you want to stay in away from the tourist strip with the most incredible views and wild life at your door, you need to stay at the Salty Dog.

Relaxing, quiet, peaceful, clean and magnificent views.

Everything was fantastic. The decor, the comfy beds, the best place to watch and listen to the sea. We were very impressed on the kitchen facilities. We will be back. It was the most peaceful place to relax. Also there was a lot thought into the Salty Dog. Like the wash basket for dirty clothes. Thankyou to the owner and the cleaner. Everything was very clean.

There is no didn’t.

Best spot on the Island in a cosy home

The view and location were excellent. There was ample plates pots etc.The house had o homey seaside feel so it felt right

The lounge was not set up well to watch tv and the outdoor bench did not feel sturdy. So We used our camp chairs instead

Superb

Pros - Beautiful location - lovely property. View was amazing, dolphins, koalas and an echidna all seen from the property. Cons - like other reviews the windows to look out to that great view were quite dirty and the Weber Q needed a good scrub before use. Otherwise great would stay again

Stunning views and heaps of wildlife.

The house overlooks a beautiful view and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you need. Dolphins frequently visit Emu Beach.

The inside of the kitchen cupboards was dirty, they had a couple of dead insects in them and crumbs throughout them. The place does not have an iron or ironing board.

great views and location

the view was excellent, location good, kitchen and beds comfortable

toilet in with bathroom, BBQ jets half blocked, block out blinds for lounge area, gets very hot with insulation in roof, an iron would be handy, needs more functional seating to watch TV

Amazing view

The house view is amazing. Rooms are big and there were toys for the kids. The kitchen was well equiped

Outside table and chairs were quite old and rusty so difficult to be used. Bbq was dirty but not a big problem as we did not use it

most enjoyable stay at the comfy and charming seafront cottage

lovely seaside ambience with loads of bedding and dining Area. loads of privacy and quiet seafront location near Jerry end of the beach. loads of cutlery and crockery- tasteful decor! great wifi!

be aware only one bathroom so limitation there. back verandah should be modified to have another toilet at least. TV and lounge positioning need improvement. air conditioner weak for SA summer heat. thankfully most days were mild for our stay. invest in better smart TV capable of allowing users to log into their streaming service eg Netflix, Prime, Stan etc

this house is perfect for a small family or a small group of friends just needs to be maintained a little better. cleanl

great location, nice little shack 5 minute walk from the beach. amazing little area of grass at the front. spotted multiple koalas in nearby trees.

Weber Q was filthy and required a deep clean before use. pots and pans were old and need replacing. heaps of sand under rug (dirty) dirty toilet. mugs and plates dirty. no iron or ironing board. window didn’t seal properly allowing millions of bugs throughout the house. killed 6 spiders inside throughout our stay, house needs to be sprayed for insects.

Quant beach house with verything we needed for a comfortable stay overlooking the idyllic Emu Bay

Enjoy a great stay at this quant beach house. The property was as pictured and ideally located overlooking Emu Bay. The house had everything - including all necessary cooking items - comfortable beds and really clean which all made for a very comfortable stay. The host provided loads of useful information of sites/attractions/conveniencies etc available on Kangaroo Island which was appreciated.

Nothing comes to mind.

Disappointing

Great location, right across from the beach and jetty. Was amazing for star gazing.

It was disgustingly dirty. Bugs on floor, lots of dust, dirty couches, dirty plates, dirty knives, benches, microwave, dirty fans. Random hair in drawers. Was recommended to get food from closest town due to it not being near shops, but spent more time cleaning the utensils then actually enjoying cooking time. This place has so much potential if it was better maintained. Quite disappointed.

Passable

Great location, comfy beds, good kitchen facilities, nicely styled.

Cleanliness of the overall property - seemed like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. Dead & alive bugs on the floor on arrival that we had to sweep up and seeing 2 x mice later that evening under the furniture.
