Not as bad as the reviews
After booking l found alot of negative reviews, happily it wasn't too bad. the island accommodation all seems to be in need of some TLC. I chooser this place as it had water views in case the weather wasn't good while we were there and we;d have something to look at. The windows we disgusting and it was difficult to see out, the second reason was it had a BBQ- however there was no BBQ and you couldn't use the oven it hadn't been cleaned for sometime and obviously because there was no BBQ it had been overused

This place has so much potential
Nice house. Spacious. Great kitchen well equipped. The cleaning inside cupboard and fridge needs improvement. There was no barbecue grill as mentioned in the facilities, which was a bit of a let down. Beds were comfortable. The dining chairs are well overdue for replacement as totally worn out. Need more mugs and plates would not suit a family of 6, some pieces missing. This place could have a 10/10. If dining chairs replaced. Few more dishes. Need new bath towels as some stained. Could be off putting. A bbq. Then this place could be a little gem and a roll up or vertical blind for back slidding door. Absolutely. Quiet location. With stunning view. Some weeding and tidying the garden would be a plus. We enjoyed our stay. As mention could be a great stay with just a few improvements. Great value for money. Contact with owner was minimal and were not responding. We enjoyed the quietness and location.

Edgewater Escape stay
on arrival first impression was very poor - driveway full of weeds and uneven paving causing trip hazards. inside the property was in poor condition due to very worn furniture and fittings. not properly cleaned - cobwebs, dirty venetian blinds, dusty skirting boards. no beach towels provided as per description, no BBQ, not enough cutlery or crockery, and only three coat hangers in total. not enough towels -bath towels, but only one small hand towel between the four guests. most of the windows were filthy, back door smashed, some of the blinds didn't open and close, and the windows didn't all open either. Apart from the cleanliness issues the house is badly in need of some TLC to remedy many of the faults described. overall very disappointed as our guests were visitors from overseas. we have stayed on Kangaroo Island on many previous occasions and this was by far the poorest accommodation that we have ever stayed at. if you would like to see photographic evidence of some of the above we can provide pictures.

Owners of the house need to spend some money. No upkeep or care it seems?
KI is so beautiful. House has good views. The garden full of weeds, blinds, lounge, dining chairs all worn out. No basic pantry staples. Lights dull, tv tiny, no wifi and bathroom needs repairs and cleaning. Wont go back.

Beautiful Stay on Kangeroo Island
Had an awesome time seeing all the sites around Kangeroo island . Being close to Kingscote was handy as there is a good supermarket , pub and restaurants there and plenty to see there We arrived at night and when we woke in the morning was an awesome view of the ocean. A good spot to make a base while you tour the island . Thanks 🙏 for having us and see you again .

Great location, really loved staying here however this house needs maintenance and cleaning. The shower door did not close properly. The main venetian was tried up with cable ties. The house needs cleaning as do all the kitchen cupboards. It was disappointing that there was no Wifi.

Was there to work not for holiday would be disappointed if holiday.
The place is in a great location but needs a lot of love. The Front Door Mat needs replacing as it’s warn away. Light at front door is blown and also the passage light blown We replaced the batteries in the TV remote but It does not work properly. Lighting throughout house quite poor and bed lamps not both connected. Bring your own double adapter if you want to use the washing machine and dryer at the same time. Light inside entry door needs fixing as hanging. Kitchen utensils were lacking as 6 stayed with 5 cups More tea towels and hand towel would be nice. Very limited cooking items Kitchen cupboards and oven needs a good clean. Shower Screen door really dodgy A bit of TLC to the garden. Driveway is a serious trip area Windows very dirty and cobwebs The Bed and pillows are amazing to sleep in so that’s a positive. No Screens on the doors so you can’t leave doors open due to mosquitoes. Blinds need replacing No Barbecue on premises as advertised.

Great view!
Pros: Fantastic view over ocean towards American River. Kitchen was well set up with more appliances than I expected. Overall comfortable and clean stay. Cons: shower door doesn’t close, leading to water on floor and trip hazard. Maintenance required as hook for hand towel had broken off and bedroom window couldn’t open. Overgrown garden detracted from view. Couches had new slipcover, but bits of upholstery fell down whenever someone sat on couch, requiring frequent sweeping. Too far from town to walk comfortably, so definitely need a car.

Relaxing
We only had two bad things to say and that was ants (everywhere) I think it could do with an insect bomb of some sort and the other was that there wasn't a barbecue as pictured in listing. All else was good.

Lovely spot to stay. A platter plate would be useful to have to use as a sharing plate for K I foods
Lovely spot to stay. House is tired and some items need attention eg lounge, blinds and key safe. Driveway and garden also need attention but not as desperate. A platter for K I foods to share would be a welcome addition. If these are attended to I would recommend this house to stay in. Otherwise plates utensils in house are adequate.

Very Disappointing
The beds were very uncomfortable luckily we had family that lent us mattresses that we put on top otherwise we would have been in a dire situation. The towels appeared clean but were badly stained. Again family supplied our linen and clean fresh towels. Broken outdoor chairs, ripped lounge cushions as well as dining chairs. Badly damaged carpet in front of all windows. Driveway a tripping hazard and dangerous when unpacking and checking in at night. Just very disappointing as the photos that advertise the property are very old not updated and the home needs maintenance even the screens rattled loudly at night and when l checked in the morning some had cardboard stuffed in between to stop the rattling!
