We had the most wonderful few days on Kangaroo Island. Wahroonga on the Water was our base. Waking to the most beautiful sunrises, and being so close to the beach was a highlight. The house has everything in it that you would need, with the exception of food. Lots of space for just 4 adults to enjoy. Thank you

Spa not in use but would not have used it anyway. The Kitchen utensils and draws were dirty, the Dishwasher was still full of previous occupants dishes and cupboards and drawers were cluttered and untidy. We cleaned and tidied the above on arrival. The outdoor setting was filthy we also had to clean before using. Overall the house needs a bit of TLC. I did contact the host and was told this was not part of the cleaners responsibilities.

Great location...older home.

The house is very large and was great for our group of five adults. The jacuzzi tub in the master was not working but I'm not sure it was listed. The showers were a bit yucky (moldy?) on the edges. There was no detergent for the washer or dishwasher, or pods for the Nespresso (which was moldy and needed for us to give a deep clean before we could use it). I contacted the owner and supplies were brought the next day, which was great, although we had gone and bought some things we needed the first day ourselves. Being at the ocean was wonderful for evening strolls, star gazing and sunrises. It was great to have a large garage to pull into for shelter from the sun and unloading and loading. I would say the home needs a little more TLC than it is getting. With that said, we enjoyed the space and had a fabulous time on KI.
