Beautiful house on the beach, we want to stay forever
This was a great house right on Emu Bay beach. We had penguins visiting very night and despite them being quite noisy we still had a great relaxing time in this very well equipped house in a fabulous location. Loved it.

Perfection
From the initial booking to checking out, the whole process was seamless and Amanda was quick to respond to any questions we had. It's not often you arrive somewhere and it's even better than what you were expecting. The place was spotless, extremely well equiped, with a super comfortable bed, a great shower and of course, not forgetting the very noisy penguins. Yes, they are loud, but what an experience! That's one of the reasons we chose to stay, so being woken up by them was exciting. We sat out on the wonderful decking listening to them, and having them wander past us was an experience we won't forget. It's also a great location, with a local cafe on the doorstep, the wonderful beach in spitting distance and it doesnt take long to pop to Kingscote for any provisions you may need. We were so sad to leave, so i really hope we get the chance to return one day. Thank you so much Amanda, our stay was the highlight of our honeymoon travels x

Cute Penguins!
We could hear the penguins on the first night but didn't see them until our last night! A local told us they sometimes stay out at sea, so I'm guessing that's what's happened. It is in a great location, but I wasn't keen on cars driving on the beach. I know people love the ease of it, but some drove much faster than they should. Also, it should be noted that if you have mobility issues, it may be difficult to navigate the short slope to the sand. There are steps from the deck but then roots as steps the rest of the way. You could walk the short distance to the stairs by the playground to reach the sand, too. Overall, the place is comfortable and the view from the deck is amazing!

beautiful location
The property has the perfect location, made special by the trees on either side of the deck. The living area has splendid views of the beach and the sea, while the trees encourage birds, and even some other wildlife. The penguins were a delight. The beds were very comfortable. Suggestions: a couple more plastic liners for the bins as we were there for a few nights; we were unable to get the aircon to work (maybe the settings weren't quite right?). The toaster failed on our last 2 days. The doonas are quite heavy when the nights start to warm up. The rest of the kitchen equipment was very good.

We really enjoyed our stay at Emu Bay, the children particularly enjoined the visits at night from the fairy penguins. The house, view from the deck and the direct access to the beach were wonderful
