Wonderful holiday home and in every way as described. Ori sent through an information pack beforehand which contained everything we needed. Easy to check in and out with the keys in a lock box. The house is beautifully secluded and a short stroll from a stunning beach. There were plenty of books and toys to entertain our 20-month-old. We spotted a goanna, many birds and kangaroos on the property. At night it was completely dark and silent - fantastic.Kitchen was fully equipped (only a pair of scissors was missing) and there is a good collection of board games and dvds.The only suggestion we would have is perhaps install a “children playing” sign along the driveway; it is a shared driveway with a property out the back and we noticed three different cars during our stay, one of which tore through at a fairly high speed. Overall a wonderful stay, we hope to come again sometime in the future!

Thank you for our wonderful stay! The cottage is beautiful and very well equipped. It stayed cool inside despite extreme temperatures outside and we all slept very well. Wildlife all around, beautiful to watch the wallabies cross the garden. And the beach, which we had mostly for ourselves, is just stunning! We will definitely be back. Thank you!

We had the most blissful, fuel recharging stay at Clearwater Haven! Travelling with two young cherubs (aged 2 and 4), we found the house perfectly set up for families — clean, spacious and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. From kid friendly kitchen / dining & bathroom supplies through to the bedroom (our girls adored the sweet touch of the soft toys left on their beds for them to borrow & cuddle each night). All the house amenities and rooms were exactly as listed and described online. LOVED the very short walk to what felt like a private beach and the abundance of wildlife right on our doorstep. We honestly didn’t switch on the TV once during our 3-day stay as "nature & star" TV was just too good!!Ori was a wonderful host and provided some of the clearest and most helpful information and manuals we’ve seen. The location felt peaceful and remote without being inconvenient — just 20 minutes to Kingscote and around 30 minutes to Penneshaw, which was so manageable with young kids.Seriously didn’t want to leave and would happily stay again. Highly recommend!!

The Gem of KI

If you like wildlife away from the maddening crowd about 40 minutes from Penneshaw, this is the place.A few minutes walk to Nepean Bay and you have the place all to yourself. The host was impeccable. Yes, all the main attractions are a must see but don’t forget Cape Borda Lighthouse. Well worth a look, particularly it’s history.

Paradise

Property was lovely, well equipped with all that one requires, beach on doorstep. It was very peaceful, no traffic noise and so forth. Beach pristine. Travelling to see other places on the island we found (being in a sedan car) was tiring (on the gravel roads to and from the property). Yes one is in the centre so to speak and could visit one day to the left and next to right.KI has amazing places to see. All in all we had a great time. Thank you.

A Hidden Gem

Thank you Ori for letting us spend 5 nights at your beautiful part of the world. The house had everything we needed. It was comfy & homely. We spent hours on the balcony enjoying the peace & quiet and watching the superb wrens and numerous other species of birds including black cockatoo, also the kangaroos, turkeys and even an echidna. There were countless varieties of native shrubs & trees many in flower. Where else in the world these days can you have a beautiful deserted sandy beach at your doorstep and no traffic noise!! A great base to explore the island. We will be telling our friends. Kind regards, Jan, Trevor, Keith & Julie.

Nice peaceful place

Enjoyed our second stay at this house, nice and secluded but also a good position to see the sights on the island. Having the toilet, bath/shower, and sink separate makes it easy to share the one restroom between four adults. We saw kangaroos, turkeys, a wallaby, and a monitor lizard from the front porch.

Kangaroo Island Haven

Enjoyed our stay at Clearwater Haven cottage. Very clean and tidy. Good location. First time off grid using solar power. All good. Has gas for cooking and water heating. Lovely walks along beach. Weather cooler than Mainland - car always said 18 degrees (November) but we had jackets etc. No rain. Stayed 4 days and saw most of Kangaroo Island - rented a car on the island. No public transport. Loved the low key vibe, fields of wheat, Raptor Domain, Flinders Chase Park, Penneshaw Sculpture Walk, American River, Stoke Beach (for a swim) Kingscote Museum etc. Saw seals,sea lions, penguins, koalas , kangaroos, wallabies goanna’s in the wild. Met some lovely KI locals.

Amazing stay!

Our stay was magical! The house is beautiful and well appointed. Kitchen was well equipped, there weee a ton of board games and a good collection of DVD’s to watch. It was easy to find, even in the dark. Ori was very quick to respond to our only issue-a swarm of bees was trying to find a new home on the front deck. He called a local bee keeper who was out the same day to rehome them. We saw kangaroos in the back yard on the first morning, a koala and enchilada on our first walk. The birds were beautiful and everywhere. We stayed up to watch the stars every night. If we are every fortunate enough to come back to KI, we will stay here.
