Here are some of the comments our guests have sent to us after staying at our home "The Pines"
We loved it !!
The house, the view, the peace, the calm.
What a perfect spot to just sit and relax and not do too much at all.
We really did have a lovely time. The three days seemed like a week, even so, no where near long enough!
Many thanks for letting us share in "The Pines"
Jill & Neil. Adelaide.

T – The Pines: excellent location with stunning views. All we needed to relax – and pelicans wheeling in the sky viewed from the front porch!
H- Hive watching! Learning about Ligurian bees – bless the island for keeping them safe.
E – Eating at Bella’s Restaurant, Kingscote. Thanks for the recommendation! We can now recommend their affogato.
[KI Spirits also offer a splendid affogato!]
P – Pelicans & Penguins: Close up & personal to both at the Kingscote wharf.
I – Island Pure Sheep Cheese: Haloumi cheese flash fried with a squeeze of lemon – a great business & a great tour.
N–Night sky of brilliant stars: far away from the city lights diminishing the view.
E – Eyecatching scenery of the Island: Highlights include Remarkable Rocks & Admiral’s Arch.
S – Seals, Seals, Seals: Seal Bay & seals at Admiral’s Arch – truly memorable.

"I have been meaning to email you since we returned home on Saturday, but life and Christmas antics have gotten in the way...
We had a wonderful time on KI - your home is beautiful and you have obviously done a lot of work on it - it was a delight to stay there. KI is fabulous - my 19 month daughter had a ball on the beaches, patting koalas and pointing at seals. Many of the attractions too were very child-friendly - she's relatively new to walking and had a fantastic time on all the paths and boardwalks. And even though we stayed a week - there is stuff we didn't get to do and my mother is already talking about having to go back!
So we'd love to take you up on the offer to come back - I'll definitely be in touch! Please feel free to use this email in any testimonials you want to use to promote the house- a testimonial page might be a good addition to your website...
Best of luck in the holiday season, thanks,"

"What a view!! We could have just stayed in the front lounge or out lounging on the the outdoor seating all day every day. It’s mesmerising. As it happened we also had a good look at the island. So much to see & enjoy there we’ll be back soon. Like many (I’m sure) we can’t believe we’ve been living so close & never ventured here before. We loved everything about the place. Can’t wait to return & see what the birds are doing on the ever changing groyne."

"Our one week stay here has been perfect. A perfect view and of course a perfect house to rest our sandy feet. It has been 18 years since we last visited the island & we are glad not too much has changed. It is still a secret from many tourists which has preserved this unique island’s flora & fauna & best of all, allowed the beaches to remain untouched."

"What a gorgeous view was our first thought on arriving and after 3 days we feel very much at home in lovely Pine view. We’ve really enjoyed Kangaroo Island especially the Sea Lions & all the birds down on the beach. We would be happy to recommend this place to friends & family back in the UK."

"A very relaxing four days. Kangaroo Island has much to offer – scenery, history, animals. We have been impressed with the friendly, helpful people we encountered in shops & tourist spots – a real highlight. The weather hasn’t been kind to us but we have been warm and cosy with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and memorable.
Thanks for such attention to detail."

"Wow what a wonderful view.
Your home was very welcoming and we thank you for allowing us to spend our holiday here. We enjoyed all your artwork & all your small touches like teabags, sewing kit, dishwashing liquid etc. They made us feel very special and comfortable. The Island was magical. The sights, scenery & wildlife were all wonderful, and we did see koalas, kangaroos, goannas and echidnas in the wild..."
