Excellent, clean accommodations near to the conveniences of town but just enough outside it to feel a little quieter. There were lots of clear instructions all around the house, and the couple of times I still had a question, the host was very responsive. It seemed unusua to us to need to bring our own soap, shampoo and coffee but the instructions told us that ahead of time so it was no problem and maybe that is typical in Australia to not provide it. Great place and we enjoyed the deck view of the water.

The bestest stay. We love KI.

This was a most awaited trip for the family. The house was so well kept to accomodate our whole family. The notes around the house were so helpful and thoughtful. All amenities were so helpful and met all our needs. Thank-you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We enjoyed our trip so much because we had a cosy home and warm beds to return to.

Everything you need and more

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!
