Kangastay is great

Perfectly located for all ends of the island. We had koalas in the trees, geckos and wallabies on the ground, the beach a stone’s throw away. Everything you need for a family getaway.

Lovely 3 days

My husband and I wanted to spend some time in Vivonne Bay as we had not stayed since the fires. Kangastay was perfect for us - very comfortable and we loved the evening visits from the wallabies and the resident possums. Our son in law and grandson decided to join us and Ros was very helpful with this change. Hope it rains for you all soon!

Great Position

We could not have been in a better position for a holiday, especially with two young boys. The home is clean and comfortable with plenty of room for a family of five. The bonus was the river across the road. Great Stay would definately recommend.
