The house was amazing clean and very tidy stylish decorative and perfectly located The host Elizabeth and Paul provided excellent local tips and responsive. They very informative when it comes to there house. Highly recommended .Wonderful Place and host, Made us feel right at home and provided everything we needed.Thank you so much.
We could not have asked for a better venue for our holiday. The house was spotless and amenities faultless. The view from the balcony and living area was relaxing. The owners communicated effectively to make our stay seamless.
Wow, this place is amazing. Clean, spacious and quiet. Kingscote is a quiet town and it’s only a short drive to all the amenities from here. Plenty of room for a large family or group. Loved this home.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at SeaKing Escape. Everything was very clean and in excellent working order and there was plenty of space for a family of 5 and 2 grandparents. We loved the location- only a very short drive from the tidal pool and a short walk to a lovely beach to walk along. Such a lovely house to stay in and perfect for our week in KI!
What an amazing house to stay at ! On arrival the house looked super clean and had everything that we needed to cook our own food. It’s a short walk to the beach and the view from the balcony was beautiful . Couldn’t recommend it more !
All of the above ratings are not exaggerated. This property is so very comfortable and well established. The hosts were easily contactable and friendly. Location location location , perfect for a short stroll to the beach, close enough ( if you like a walk) to the town centre and located within easy driving distance to many attractions.
Really had it all and was perfect for our two families. Lovely sitting on the balcony and the layout inside was good. So quiet. The little things were good too like plastic containers for left overs and basic supplies to get you through until you made it to the shops. Also, supplying the towels and linen. No negatives.
Everything was perfect!! From the house location, cleanliness and the stlye of the house... We enjoyed every bit of the stay. Walking distance to the beach. Beautiful view.. Thank you for making iur stay perfect in every way!!
