15% Off Weekly | Ocean View Casuarina Beach House

JenniferRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a wonderful Easter with our grown up children, their spouses and our grandchildren. There was plenty of room for all of us, including 5 active children. The home was well equipped and the kitchen was large enough to make meal times hassle free. A large dining table was great for meals and board games. A front and back deck were good for informal snacks. We saw lots of dolphins from the front deck while having breakfast! The hosts were very responsive and friendly. We had such a wonderful time and we plan to come back again. Thank you to Robin and Liam. Jenny C

KathrinRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We loved our stay at Liam’s place! The location was perfect, just a short walk to a stunning and family-friendly beach. The house was great for our young family, with a large well equipped kitchen and a lovely outdoor deck. We enjoyed the beautiful natural surroundings and daily visits from wallabies, which the kids loved. Liam was very responsive, friendly and helpful with recommendations. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. We highly recommend the „Cheeky Wren“ and are already planning our next visit to Kangaroo Island.

Alchemy on Island Beach Kangaroo Island

InezRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Our stay at Alchemy was absolutely brilliant, from the incredible beach view to the peace and quiet. We were steps from the beach and often had the whole beach panorama to ourselves. Kangaroo Island is breathtaking and offers so much diversity, one of the best holiday destinations in Australia if not the world!

DriftINN - Kangaroo Island

PipRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The place is beautiful! Incredibly peaceful and private. We stayed for 2 nights, and changed our plans so we spent more time at the cabin rather than driving around the island. Sitting on the deck with a coffee first thing watching the sunrise and then reading my book, with the only sound the crashing of waves was a wonderful way to spend a weekend. The place is simple with everything you need and very clean. Loved that we could walk along the small track to the cliff tops and watch dolphins in the water. Will definitely come back to stay!

Copperstone KI (Beach House)

HansRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The most wonderful home! After 6 months of travel, this was the nicest place to stay and relax. Gorgeous view of emu bay. Within minutes we were driving on the beach. The outdoor shower came in handy! So relaxed and luxurious. Great kitchen including kids cutlery and plates which we much appreciated traveling with a 1yo and 3yo. The host was very helpful in providing a high chair. Also the laundry room was well equipped. All felt new and clean. Very nice outdoor area with good bbq. Watching the sunrise and sunset from this property was a treat.

The Shilling - Island Beach Kangaroo Island

StanleyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Three generations have just enjoyed what the Schilling has to offer. The beautiful home and what it provides cannot be faulted. The surrounds are stunning, ranging from an easy walk to the beach, the nature trails and the grandchildren loved the daily visits from kangaroos, wallabies and the birds. Hope to visit again soon!

WALLABY BEACH HOUSE,KANGAROO ISLAND

JohnRating, 5 stars4 months ago
The absolutely perfect hideaway, exactly as Hugh, the owner, describes. The house is beautifully presented with everything top quality, but also a lot of personal touches, such as ornaments and books. A great bonus was the sheer number of bird species visiting the water dishes - we identified 21 with the help of an excellent guide book which goes with the house. Good shops and decent pub/restaurant in nearby Penneshaw.

Swans Studio - Kangaroo Island

EliseRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We enjoyed our stay at Mary-Alice and Ron’s studio. The studio was cosy and comfortable and is located in a beautiful spot. We were visited by wallabies, possums and various birds. The hosts were very responsive to our queries and it’s clear they are passionate about ensuring guests having a good experience. We would love to visit again sometime and explore more of Kangaroo Island, it’s a big place with lots to see! Thank you so much Mary-Alice and Ron! :)

Your guide to Island Beach

All About Island Beach

Tucked away on the northern shores of Kangaroo Island, and nestled between Brown Beach and Sapphiretown, lies Island Beach — a secluded oasis and a haven for some of the island’s abundant wildlife, including kangaroos, koalas, sea lions, and diverse birdlife. Its pristine, azure waters and vast stretches of pearly white sand are bound by dense coastal bushland and gentle waves. Spanning nearly 3.5 miles, Island Beach offers a serene coastal getaway, where you can dip into the clear, shallow waters for a relaxing swim, take a stroll along the expansive shoreline, or rent a kayak for a peaceful paddle around Eastern Cove.

Island Beach is a great starting point for exploring the rest of Kangaroo Island. You can make the short drive to the American River and sample wines at local wineries, grab a bite to eat at a restaurant on the wharf, or stop off in the nearby town of Penneshaw for some penguin spotting.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Island Beach

One of the best times to enjoy Island Beach is during the summer months (December through February), when the warm temperatures make for ideal swimming, hiking, boating, and fishing conditions. In winter (June through August), colonies of fur seals and sea lions sunbathe on the rocks for warmth, and whales can be spotted breaching offshore at different spots around the island. Temperatures during this time can be chilly, with a high chance of rain and strong winds. If you plan to visit during this time, be sure to pack some extra layers. Spring (September through November) boasts pleasant temperatures, with blooming wildflowers and native plants adorning the lush surrounding landscape. Warm daytime temperatures during the fall provide a comfortable climate for outdoor activities. Major local events include a marathon in Kangaroo Island each May and a music festival which takes place in Penneshaw in November.


Top things to do in Island Beach

Penneshaw

Penneshaw, Kangaroo Island’s second-largest town, is approximately a 15-minute drive from Island Beach. Situated on the shores of Hog Bay, Penneshaw provides abundant opportunities to admire local wildlife and is known for its colony of wild penguins, which you can spot during the evenings on guided tours. You’ll also find plenty of spots here to dine and sample renowned local wines.

Remarkable rocks

On the southern coast of Kangaroo Island, around a two-hour drive from Island Beach, you’ll find one of the island’s stunning geological phenomena. Perched atop the cliff overlooking the sea lies a spectacular display of granite boulders with a unique coastal formation that has been shaped over millions of years by the wind, rain, and waves. The boardwalk to the site provides stunning views of the surrounding bays, bushland, and the historic Cape du Couedic Lighthouse.

Prospect Hill

You can make your way to Prospect Hill in just nine minutes by car. The scenic trail begins at the car park just off Hog Road and there are 500 steps to reach the peak, which is also the highest point on Kangaroo Island. Your efforts will be rewarded with spectacular, panoramic views of the island.
