We stayed for three nights at King George Beach Retreat, and wish we could have stayed a week! We will be booking again very soon. Chris and his family were excellent hosts.

What a special place!

We loved our stay, great directions to the property, clear communication with our host, easy check-in and a fantastic place to stay. We marveled at the view, watched the many different animals and overall just relaxed. Sunsets on the deck were a favourite time. We left hoping to visit again soon.

an extraordinary location

We spent a full week on Kangaroo Island (1 location of in total 4 at which each we spent at least a full week) and made hikes car trips starting from there. Already the location above the beach, so solitary (what we love), solitary except for that the host, Chris, lives there part of the year and was there 5 of the 7 days we stayed there. Chris is extremely helpful and knowledgeable, we enjoyed chatting with him. He allowed us to use his internet connection (which was necessary for me due to actual business issues), he invited us one evening for a chat with wine plus some snacks. - He is an exceptionally good host! Thanks, Chris, for having built this gem on this extraordinaryly interesting island, where alone I have taken hundreds of bird and other nature photos!

Pros and Cons

Pros: The location of this place is superb as long as you don’t mind being isolated. The beach it overlooks and the land it is set on is really beautiful. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. There is little phone reception and no TV reception which we really appreciated as it allowed us to truly cut off. The beds are comfy and warm with electric blankets. There was plenty of wood for the fireplace. The host is lovely and communication with him was good. Cons: to be completely honest, I thought the place was quite overpriced. For what we paid, I expected better. In general, the home looks tired and the wet areas particularly are in need of maintenance or updating. There was no tea, coffee or sugar in the kitchen which I would think is a basic inclusion. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but do believe you’re paying for the view.

The view & quietness

We stayed for 3 nights and had the whole property to ourselves. We did day trips out but were always keen to come back to enjoy the view and the peace! The house had everything you could ask for (except for ceiling fan or pedestal fans in the bedrooms) but overall we are looking forward to booking this place again for longer and maybe in the cooler months. Communication and directions were great and easy to follow.

Loved our stay

Had two main requirements, view and open fire. The view was fantastic, our own private beach although winter was amazing. The sunsets were spectacular. Combustion heater with plenty of fire wood was just what we asked for.

Private and stunning

This property is in a beautiful, peaceful location. We had this gorgeous beach to ourselves as even though two other houses (one still being built) are on the same private parcel of land, there was no one else staying at the time. The house is a little tired and not fancy, but it was clean and well equipped. The location is hard to beat and we were delighted to stay there. We even saw an echidna in the yard on our last night! We’d happily book again.

Rustic beach house on the north coast. The bay/location is truly incredible. There are some unsealed roads to reach the property, but well worth the journey!

Untouched beauty

The view from this property is simply stunning With its own private beach access and a umbrella set up ready for a blissful private visit, this property feels like home away from home. I tried to read a book in the afternoons but I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the beach view and the sun setting over the ocean. Once the sun went down we enjoyed the second lounge space facing the wood fire heater playing cards and just relaxing. We appreciated the owner contacting us on our night of arrival to ensure we didn’t get lost and checking in with us to ensure we had everything we needed. We loved our 5 night stay and enjoyed everything kangaroo island has to offer, including the friendly locals which made our stay a time we will cherish

Amazing location

If you’re looking for a room with a view… this is it. Magnificent. Walks along the beach all to yourself… heaven. Would appreciate some outdoor shade and comfy lounge to catch up on the long overdue reading. A little closer monitoring of the kitchen cupboard contents would be appreciated. But we enjoyed our stay immensely, revisiting places we’d seen before and finding many new places of beauty. KI is a gem.

Relaxing

Stunning views, peaceful and relaxing stay. We stayed at this wonderful property for our honeymoon and enjoyed the time to relax and unwind. It’s the perfect spot to disconnect and just breathe. The host was wonderful, even offering to pick up things for us from Kingscote if we needed! We will be back!

The house is full of character and we felt right at home from the minute we stepped inside. The fire and the spectacular views were mesmerising. Highly recommend the house for its charm and Chris was a fabulous host providing detailed communication for our stay as well as a well stocked wood heap for the fire! Loved the welcome from the sheep too!

A little piece of heaven

From the moment you arrive you feel at home. The view is absolutely breathtaking and the sound of the waves rocks you to sleep each night! We woke up to the most stunning sunrises before exploring the area each day. We then enjoyed a wine on the deck each night watching the sunset before enjoying the most spectacular show of stars before retiring to the lounge for a warm fire. The private beach doesn’t disappoint either! If you need to completely switch off from the world and slow down- this is the place!
