Wow, this is one of the best Stays we have used ever. The attention to detail and organisation of the owners is second to none. The information provided us with everything we needed to experience Kangaroo Island to its fullest. The house was stacked with luxury linen and had everything we needed plus more. So many little unexpected touches that did not go unnoticed and enhanced our time tenfold. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.
