Summary: Wonderful cottage! Had everything we needed, very thoughtful host. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything you nees for cooking (even though we did not cook haha), and the view was spectacular. The cottage is beautifully decorated and quaint. We enjoyed seeing a wallaby in the yard when we returned each evening, and we appreciated the large dvd collection. Very close to ferry, coffee shop, grocery store, and restaurants. We were sad to leave Kangaroo Island. Thank you for providing such a lovely place to stay.
