Guest Book

  • This is honestly one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed at this year!

    Waking up to the ocean views, being just a short drive from the beach, and having kangaroos as our neighbours — it really felt like a dream. We got to see kangaroos almost every day, which made the whole experience even more special!

    The house itself is absolutely beautiful, with a perfect blend of modern comfort and classic Australian charm. It’s spacious, thoughtfully designed, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay.

    The location is fantastic too, with easy access to Kangaroo Island’s beautiful beaches and major attractions.

    Sue and Andy were also wonderful hosts — always friendly, quick to respond, and happy to help whenever we needed anything.

    We genuinely loved every moment of our stay. It felt like our own little slice of paradise on Kangaroo Island.

    Highly recommend this place, and we would absolutely love to come back someday! ❤︎

  • This place is the ultimate relaxing getaway. Spacious, silent, well-equipped, and with staggeringly beautiful views in every direction. We spent a glorious five days at this property, and whilst we were keen to see the sights of KI, there were days when we were content to stay put and enjoy the joys of the property, which are many; the kangaroo population, the birds, and the amazing sea views - the view from the kitchen window alone is priceless. Susan Mary is the perfect host, a great communicator, and her instructions were clear and precise. We took our family of seven (kids and grandkids) and everyone loved what this property offered. Do yourself a favour, book your holiday!

    Sean, October 2026

  • We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful holiday house! The views were stunning, and the house was thoughtfully designed, making it a lovely place to relax. The friendly kangaroos around the property were a special highlight. Our host was welcoming and helpful, which made the experience even better. We would love to stay again and highly recommend it!

    Catherine, October 2026

  • A great stay with unique experience on the island. The owner has a passion and an attitude of life. The house is under good care. Love the atmosphere. Lucky to meet the host couple. Kind, helpful, thoughtful and easy to communicate. Already recommended this to my friends.

    SB, September 2026

  • Exceptional home with fabulous amenities. We loved cooking in the wonderful kitchen and enjoyed the magnificent views. Friendly kangaroos were a huge bonus. Highly recommended.

    miles, september 2026

  • We had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was beautiful and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Susan was a lovely and helpful host, and communication was easy throughout our stay. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    ekramul, september 2026

  • Our stay at this property was, without question, our best AirBNB experience. The location is purely surreal and magically peaceful and private. There are an abundance of kangaroos, and observing them graze and play is among the greatest pleasures of staying at this property. Locating and accessing the property was a breeze due to superb instructions, and the house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Aside from the surroundings, I especially loved the living room area with the fireplace. This was a very cozy spot to unwind and relax. If I could do it all over again, I would stay 7+ nights at this property. A++ overall

    justin, september 2026

  • Sensational, amazing views, kangaroos at your back door and wonderful home. Everything was perfect, will definitely be back.

    kathleen, August 2026

  • Such a fantastic stay! The house was clean, super comfortable, and beautifully kept.

    The outdoor scenery is pure Australian magic exactly like Tom Roberts' iconic masterpiece A break away, a print of which is wonderfully hung right inside the house!

    We loved drinking our morning coffee while watching our friendly kangaroo neighbors graze just meters away on the lawn.

    Wonderful host and incredible vibe. Would come back in a heartbeat!

    kaimin, August 2026

  • The house is incredibly beautiful. Fantastic view from the house, the kitchen, nice view seeing dawn.
    I really love the design of the house. And mu kod did have great chances to feed the kangaroo. The host prepared many things for us, coffee, tea, seasonings, rice, and so on. I would have to say this is one of the places that have the best view that I have stayed.

    Cuong, august 2026

  • Absolutely gorgeous place, we honestly couldn’t fault it. The house was spotless, warm and welcoming, and had such a lovely, relaxed feel to it. Our two young children had an absolute ball exploring the house and the beautiful surrounds, but the highlight for them was definitely the kangaroos coming right up to be hand-fed, it kept them entertained for hours! We had such a fantastic stay and would absolutely love to come back. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.

    Timothy, August 2026

  • Love the place! It’s something you can’t get in the cities, we had kangaroos visiting each day it was such a nice experience for my friends kids from overseas, they loved it so much.

    We loved the property, spacious and clean.

    Host was super nice, easy to communicate and easy to check in.

    We will def come back again in the future :)

    Wing, August 2026

  • Such a lovely place to stay! Having kangaroos right around the house was such a special experience — they were super friendly and adorable. The house itself is amazing, with beautiful interiors, and the backyard is a huge highlight: spacious, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. We had such a relaxing stay and would definitely recommend it! Sue was also lovely and very easy to communicate with.❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎

    Ni, August 2026

  • We truly have nothing but the best to share about this wonderful home and even more stellar hosts. Every moment was unique and special for us. We are so grateful for how flexible, communicative, and kind our hosts were here. I highly recommend any chance you may have to spend time surrounded by serene beach views, bask in the morning air while kangaroos hop through, or soak in a night with the fire crackling near by. Cheers for a most special time!!

    Isabel, July 2026

  • We had a lovely stay and the location was awesome

    Katie, August 2026

  • We had a wonderful stay. Clean accommodation, great location, and excellent communication from the host. Would definitely stay again!

    Sumith, July 2026

  • We had a fantastic stay at Sue and Andy’s place. Their home is beautiful, full of unique artwork and heritage pieces that made our stay extra special. The scenery around the property was stunning and made for a peaceful, relaxing stay. One highlight was seeing a milk pail carved with the name of our hometown dairy, which was a wonderful surprise. The location was perfect for exploring Kangaroo Island. Sue and Andy were warm and welcoming hosts. We highly recommend staying here.

    Jaymin, July 2026

  • everything was just perfect

    July, July 2026

  • A stunning secluded getaway - honestly breathtakingly beautiful views from the property, and amazing to have daily morning interactions with the local wildlife. The house is fantastic for a group, and perfect for a winter escape with friends. The fully stocked kitchen, beautiful fireplace and thoughtful additions like extra rugs/blankets, puzzles/games, and eclectic styling make this place an unforgettable experience. Sue and Andy were lovely, helpful and responsive hosts and we all had an amazing time.

    Holley, July 2026

  • This place was amazing. More than we could have imagined. We had overseas guests and they thought they had arrived into a dream. The views were absolutely spectacular. Susan and Andy were really helpful and responsive to any questions. Everything you could need in amenities was provided. We came fully prepared with food for our stay and all the kitchen amenities were catered for. It was brilliant and my husband and I are already talking about coming back with family. Thank you Susan and Andy for the care and detail you put into making our stay beyond perfect. Our OS guests leave with an unforgettable KI experience.

    Joanne, July 2026

  • This was an incredible find. A mob of roos greeted us as we came up the drive and allowed us to feed them :) The views were stunning, seriously awesome! They were so kind to let us stay another day when the ferry wouldn’t sail due to a storm. I will definitely bring my family back here to this palatial house.

    Kelly, July 2026

  • Absolutely amazing stay. We hand fed kangaroos in the back garden and watched the sun rise over the ocean. The hosts are great communicators and seem like really kind people. I would highly recommend you stay here.

    Harrison, June 2026

  • The surroundings of the property are fantastic, as quiet and beautiful as a paradise. The house is fully equipped, comfortable to live in, and every window offers a beautiful view. You can also see cute kangaroos visiting in the early morning and evening. It was a very special and unforgettable stay.

    Weifan, May 2026

  • This was easily one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed at! Sue was such a lovely host - she gave us heaps of helpful info about the house and the area, and was so thoughtful throughout our stay.

    The place itself is magical, from the well-appointed kitchen and all the little touches to the rolling hills, cozy fireplace, and the many roos we got to make friends with during our stay. We honestly wish we’d had more time here - we would’ve loved to stay longer!

    Abby, May 2026

  • Absolutely Stunning.
    Incredible location, very peaceful and private with stunning views. The home was spacious, extremely comfortable and well appointed. The daily visits, morning and afternoon from the local kangaroos was a highlight. Sue and Andrew were very responsive and informative hosts. Highly recommend, would definitely return.

    Mary-Anne, May 2026

  • The perfect Australian holiday experience - bush, beaches, kangaroos, koalas, echidnas, friends and an amazing house.

    Philippa, May 2026

  • This place exceeded our expectations. We were hoping for a great view and a chance to see kangaroos. The view is sublime. A succulent garden, green hills with kangaroos, and the ocean beyond. Often there are kangaroos on the patio. We saw a small joey that would sometimes ride upside down with his feet sticking out. Wild. On top of the quiet, beautiful location the house itself is large and so well appointed.
    Highly recommend.

    Mary, May 2026

  • My partner and I stayed here with another couple for 4 nights. We were absolutely blown away by the stunning, panoramic sea views and the beautifully and thoughtfully furnished place with lots of quirky curios and impressive antiques but also with all of the mod cons. Spacious and comfy, warm and inviting. The highlights were the views and the daily visits from the kangaroos, even hand-feeding a couple of them. Truly one of the most memorable places I have ever stayed in around the world and a perfect location to enjoy beautiful KI.

    Tiffany, April 2026

  • wonderful property with beautiful views. a very relaxing getaway with super comfy beds and great hosts

    Louise, April 2026

  • This property was stunning, welcoming and comfortable in both cooler and warmer weather conditions (of which we experienced both). We had so much fun exploring the property, interacting with the wildlife and enjoying the breathtaking views. If you happen to have a portable volleyball net it’s worth packing. Definitely will be back following this perfect Easter getaway.

    Scott, april 2026

  • It was a truly magical stay. Great home. Great host. Great experience. Highly recommend.

    Kari, April 2026

  • It is a beautiful location and property is superb, we had a very enjoyable time. It was a very good change being away from everything in such a lovey property.

    david, March 2026

  • Beautiful location. We’ll equipped home with all the extras needed for a more remote location. Pet wild kangaroos added to the charm.

    Kerri, March 2026

  • This place is a little slice of paradise.
    A beautifully finished property, great views and lots of animals, especially kangaroos. It was wonderful to have a visit from our beloved Jumper and his family on the veranda.
    Our host, Sue, made everything comfortable from start to finish.

    Mona Lisa, March 2026

  • We had a great stay. We are frequent tenants of houses via Airbnb and this location was a 10+

    Every window in the house offers an amazing view of the surroundings. And what an environment, spectacular views.

    Sue & Andy respond quickly and are super nice. Thank you for opening up this house. We enjoyed it tremendously.

    Frieke, March 2026

  • Best Airbnb I have stayed in, fabulous views and a family of friendly kangaroos and their friends who visited us every day. The house is remote and you need to take supplies , this was clearly communicated to us and we went prepared. Lots of indoor and outdoor space and great location for family meals. Beautiful place on a fabulous island.

    Helen, March 2026

  • Wow! What a special place. I echo the sentiments of other 5 star reviews regarding the accommodation, location and host. Jumper (kangaroo) and the rest of her mob have stolen a piece of my heart. I hope to return to spend time with them again 🥰😍❤︎

    Elizabeth, February 2026

  • Absolutely stunning location, beautiful well equipped house was a perfect way to enjoy Kangaroo Island! Would stay again in a heartbeat!

    Liam, February 2026

  • The house and its location is the best airbnb I've stayed in. The view from the house reminded me of being on a hilltop in Greece and looking out over the sparkling Aegean. So much glittering sea. (Admittedly we had great weather) But totally Australian at the same time with sheep and kangaroos and gum trees and very golden fields. Every morning you wake up to an oil painting.
    The kitchen is beautifully equipped. Views from three picture windows. Lovely dining and sitting areas. Your own family of kangaroos resting on the patio. Susan Mary is very friendly and helpful. Please note, you absolutely have to bring all food and wine and fill up your petrol. Otherwise you will have to drive about an hour each way to Kinsgcote. The supermarket in Parndana is 30 minutes away, but doesn't have a lot of stock and the petrol station is not open on weekends. Or wasn't, this weekend.

    Hannie, February 2026

  • This fantastic accommodation cannot be described with words. We lived with kangaroos, koalas and many other animals. No sounds of civilisation, absolute peace, absolute seclusion and a beautiful lovingly furnished house. Sue and Andy were always available and helped us a lot, especially when arriving at the ferry. If we have the opportunity to travel to KI again, we would absolutely only choose this accommodation.

    Heribert, February 2026

  • A beautiful country house with great views! The wallabies in the garden are tame and come immediately when someone comes out, they also use the seat to rest, which has allowed us to take many great photos. Some come very close. The kitchen is well equipped, the house really big, the location quiet and secluded. Sue was very helpful and responded promptly to questions.

    Inma, February 2026

  • Susan is a host who communicated quickly with us. Thank you for everything.

    Very nice home with extraordinary views of the ocean and fields. The beautiful beaches nearby (Snelling, our favourite) are so beautiful.
    The kitchen is very well equipped, the beds comfortable with quality bedding. The ultra-modern bathrooms are very clean. The washing machines are very good.

    This place is magical. As soon as we arrived, kangaroos greeted us near the pergola of the house, they are adorable.

    I would have stopped time during my stay to be able to enjoy this place longer.

    I highly recommend this Airbnb.

    Lise, January 2026

  • Superb location!
    Amazing vista!!!
    Kids loved the kangaroos!!!
    Great base for exploring the north coast, and easy access to the south coast too!
    Will definitely return again!!!

    Bill, January 2026

  • The Grass Tree was lovely - the scenery was remarkable and the house itself was ever so comfortable. Susan Mary was a charming host, attentive and really helpful. Two days was nowhere near long enough to enjoy this fabulous place!!

    Genevieve, January 2026

  • By far the most magical place I’ve stayed in in Australia! The photos look unbelievable but yet somehow manage to completely undersell the property! Book it in a heartbeat if you have a chance! The views are completely breathtaking and the house itself is wonderfully eccentric, feels like an old hunting lodge! Never had a better view whilst cooking dinner and the friendly Kangaroos were a joy to feed!

    Seb, December 2025

  • Amazing sea-view from the kitchen.
    and we loves the rustic artistic treatment to the entire home.

    Plenty of Boardgames, and Kangaroo family around in the premises was fun.

    Vinayak, December 2025

  • My family and I loved staying here. The house was massive with so much room for everyone. We got to feed and pat the kangaroos around the property every night. We would definitely stay here again.

    Maddie, December 2025

  • The place is beautiful and we loved our stay very much. The kids were so excited to see the kangaroos under the pergola and in the backyard. Every afternoon they would look for the kangaroos and couldn’t wait to feed them dinner. Such a great experience.

    Dave, November 2025

  • The most magical Airbnb we ever rented, worth every single penny. The house is huge enough to house 4 adults and 4 kids. The ocean view through the big window in kitchen worth a million bucks. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a big breakfast or decent dinner for the whole party! Andy and Sue left a jar of honey for us, which was super sweet. The most magical activities were Kangaroo feeding: when the Sun goes down, many roos in the neighbourhood show up, some were brave enough to approach us and feed directly from our hands! The kids were having a great time, and all agree these wonderful memories would stay with us forever. We met Andy at the estate, he provided a lot of valuable tips for us such as where to find wild Koalas and Kangaroo. I cannot say enough thank you to Sue and Andy. They even let us to check out late since we wanted to spend as much time as possible to enjoy this magical estate.

    Raymond, November 2025

  • Words cannot fully describe this beautiful and peaceful property! We spent a lot of time outside on the steps admiring the unbelievable view and watching the kangaroos spending time in their habitat. The kids and I could sit there for hours just enjoying the scenery! And inside, we felt right at home. It was so clean, well stocked, and perfect for our needs. The kids still ask everyday if we can get our own set of bunkbeds - I think that was the highlight of their trip! We also loved the games - played “Who Is It?” nearly every night. Thank you for the best holiday!! We loved every minute of it. ❤︎

    Genevieve, October 2025

  • This place is amazing! Plenty of room for our large family, lots of friendly wildlife surrounding the house. The location is remote on the island, so come prepared for meals, and plan your days travel accordingly

    Ian, October 2025

  • It’s rare that I stay at an Air BnB where I feel like the photos undersold the property. This is a special place, if you’re going to Kangaroo Island - do yourself a favour and stay here.

    Alex, October 2025

  • We had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was perfect and check-in was smooth with clear instructions. The host, made sure we had everything we needed.
    We were welcomed by families of Kangaroos at the door step,
    Highlight of the stay was big and beautiful kitchen facing Sea.
    Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

    Anil, October 2025

  • Beautiful and mazing place to stay - so special

    Kirstin, October 2025

  • An absolutely perfect holiday home. We celebrated my 50th with 3 couples, and given the size of the house everyone was very comfortable. 3 beautiful bathrooms also made things very easy.

    The views and location are obviously incredible, but what struck us was the interior design. Walking in for the first time was an absolute wow moment, the styling is so cool. Beautiful and eclectic artwork and furniture cleverly placed around the huge living area means you have tonnes of space but it still feels cosy. We had some amazing weather while we were there but we also had some stormy days...it just didn't matter. We all sat around the fire in the lounge and dining area looking out over the incredible views watching the storms pass.

    We absolutely love Kangaroo Island, and have been many times, but this trip was an absolute stand out thanks to our beautiful accomodation!

    Finally, Sue and Andy were just brilliant, you could not ask for a better hosts!

    Bradley, September 2025

  • Stunning views from a unique home in a secluded location! Loved it as soon as we walked in, lots of little curios to investigate throughout the stay. Surrounded by nature and beautiful night skies. Plenty of space for a family, cosy fireplace and well-equipped kitchen to make our stay comfortable.

    Lisa, September 2025

  • The house was amazing, it was warm and well catered for !
    The views were fantastic and our little kangaroo friends topped off what was a wonderful few days !
    We will definitely be back !!
    Thankyou

    Michelle, September 2025

  • We had an incredible time and absolutely loved the property - stunning setting with beautiful views over the ocean, fabulous log fire, cosy bedrooms, awesome kitchen, and amazing wildlife, esp the kangaroos, fairy wrens, parrots and lots of koala in nearby trees a short drive away. Loved Stokes Bay, Remarkable Rocks, and Seal Bay was sooooo worth visiting! Fabulous visit and cannot thank you enough!!! We will never forget the magical sunrises and sunsets!

    Andrew, september 2025

  • Very responsive and helpful host. Location was beyond amazing - if I ever find myself on Kangaroo Island again would definitely stay here

    amanda, August 2025

  • WOW! I have travelled to numerous places around the world and this is hands down the best airbnb I have ever stayed at. The property is just SO unique and special. It is just like the pictures and at the same time SO much better. What a BEAUTIFUL property inside and out. SO peaceful and relaxing. it is so magical you feel so tempted to just spend all of your holiday exploring and enjoying the surroundings of the home.

    My boys had the experience of their life hand feeding the friendly kangaroos. We were so sad when it was time to leave, trying to take in every second of our stay there.

    Sue was so great and responsive. Kangaroo Island itself was so beautiful. We saw seals and even saw a Koala crossing the road.

    This was the highlight of our
    Australian holiday. Couldn’t recommend enough.

    Mariangel, August 2025

  • Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!

    When we drove up to the house there were a family of kangaroos waiting to greet us as they continued to do each morning when we woke up. Seeing and feeding them each day was a highlight.

    The view from the property is amazing and the house is one of a kind. It is spacious and the owners have provided a well equipped property. The kitchen extras are appreciated especially when you are travelling from out of the country.

    Sue provided detailed information well in advance of us arriving (including things to do) and detailed information and instructions to help us while we were on the island.

    Don’t think twice about booking this property. It is a private location that is a bit remote but with Sue’s information and welcome notes you will be rewarded.

    Cherish, August 2025

  • WOW is the only word we had to say! we were speechless

    Laura, August 2025

  • We LOVED our time in this incredible home. We travelled with two families and had enough room to spread out and enjoy the home. Lots of communal areas to eat, play games and relax. The friendly kangaroo visitors were a bonus! My 4yo took charge of feeding them and had an emotional farewell when we left! Truly beautiful and very well appointed home. We would come back in a heartbeat!

    Alexis, August 2025

  • This property is a fantastic, considered, functional and well equipped with a beautiful view.

    The hosts are very considerate and responsive.

    In our travelling party we had 6 adults, 1 (2 year old) and 1 (6 month old) and the property felt very spacious, and homely.

    We could not recommend this property highly enough.

    samuel, July 2025

  • Our stay exceeded all our expectations. Sue was amazing with her communication and local knowledge of the area saved us a few trips to venues that would have been closed.
    There are no words for how outstanding the view is from most aspects of the house.
    The kitchen was fabulous for entertaining and we look forward to coming back again.

    Kate, July 2025

  • A truly special stay at Grass Tree North Coast

    Our stay at Grass Tree North Coast was absolutely wonderful. The home is beautifully appointed with everything you could possibly need, including a fantastic kitchen, comfortable living spaces, and even a washer/dryer that came in handy after returning soaked from Flinders Chase.

    The views are panoramic, the gardens are stunning, and the house itself is spacious and welcoming. It's perfect for a family getaway. We loved the collection of board games, which made for fun evenings together when the weather rolled in.

    When ferry cancellations meant we couldn’t return to the mainland, the hosts were incredibly kind in letting us extend our stay for two extra nights in the spur of the moment. That flexibility made all the difference.

    One of the absolute highlights was having six kangaroos visit the porch on our last morning. Feeding them by hand with the provided 'roo' food was a magical experience we won’t forget. We also really enjoye

    Tim, June 2025

  • Sue and Andy were amazing hosts! We couldn’t have asked for a better trip under the circumstances given that they were hurricane force wins and rain bearing down on KI. Sue made sure to look out for us and found this other combinations when we came over day early. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip or better host. Locationis unbelievable. The home is warm and welcoming and situated in the location where all the critters from the surroundings come to visit. We look forward to returning someday soon!

    Chris & Lisa, May 2025

  • Beautiful and spacious, with kangaroos at the door early morning. The view “outstanding “ so tranquil. We had the fire going and played cards all weekend. With very comfortable beds.
    Thanks Sue and Andy for the hospitality, we would stay again.

    Alison, May 2025

  • We recently enjoyed an incredible 9-night family stay at Sue and Andy's Airbnb on Kangaroo Island, and it quickly became one of our all-time favorites. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning, picture-perfect views from every single window – it was truly delightful. Sue was an exceptional host, always responding promptly and going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. A highlight was definitely getting to feed the kangaroos on the property! The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped; with a pantry generously stocked with spices, oils, sugar, and more, we could literally cook anything we desired without needing to buy the basics. The bedrooms were very comfortable, and the bathrooms featured fantastic shower pressure. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay and wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful Airbnb to anyone visiting Kangaroo Island. Thank you, Sue and Andy, for a memorable experience!

    Romit, May 2025

  • "This place absolutely blew us away. Came to celebrate a few days for our anniversary and was not disappointed. I have been fortunate enough to stay in quite a few Airbnb’s and this has surpassed them all easily. It would be really difficult to find a place with better surrounds. Daily visits from the friendly kangaroos one of few highlights. Sue was a great host and provided all the information we needed. Would highly recommend this place."

    Jim, Middle River, August 2024

  • "We had a wonderful stay in this house, the photos do not do it justice, amazing views, amazing house and the wildlife wow! We stayed for 2 nights but could have stayed for 2 weeks the island has so much to offer. This was the perfect place for our family reunion and our overseas family was blown away with how beautiful Kangaroo Island is."

    Kim, Middle River, August 2024


  • "First impressions amaze balls view, like it could have been a movie, rolling green pastures, friendly kangaroos, manicured lawns. The home was spacious, centrally located fireplace that warmed the whole house, plentiful firewood, well equipped kitchen, views from every window, except for the attic bedrooms, but the upstairs bathroom view more than makes up for that. Definitely a place We would like to return to and would recommend to family and friends. Thank you Sue for a lovely stay and excellent communication."

    Jewel, Middle River, July 2024

  • "Our stay was 11/10. Best day on KI was when we stayed put at the house. Made pancakes, put on our gumboots and explored the property, watched the rain through huge windows, had a lavender bath, fed the friendly roos, read books and toasted marshmallows in front of the fire. Sue was amazing - even helped to source a portacot for us to use at a separate listing. Thank you so much. If you can - stay a few nights here and then a few nights at their property on other side of island."

    Sarah, Middle River, June 2024

  • “ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL! My advice is grab enough groceries for your entire stay because you will absolutely not want to leave the property, it’s stunning!”

    Drue, Middle River, May 2024

  • “Magical, wonderful place. I felt honoured to look after it for a week. Excellent facilities, kitchen was the best stocked (utensils, pantry, saucepans, pans etc etc.) of anywhere I have ever stayed, and I’ve stayed in a lot. It’s EXACTLY what the photos show. Perfection and great wildlife - THANKYOU Sue and Andy!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️”

    Sally, Middle River, May 2024

  • “Fabulous place. Incredible, uninterrupted ocean views, kangaroos came right to the door and were gentle and friendly. House was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Sue was an extremely pleasant and helpful host when we needed assistance.”

    Louise, Middle River, May 2024

  • “We loved our stay! Absolute perfect balance of everything. Million dollar views in multiple directions, an abundance of wildlife. Ample, beautiful, outdoor area to play or relax, including swinging seats and outdoor dining and a BBQ. Spacious yet cosy and welcoming home, set up to walk in and entertain. Plenty of everything, we were very comfortable and would love to come again. The hosts were very helpful and lovely. Thank you!”

    Catherine, Middle River, April 2024

  • “Sue’s Grass Tree House in Middle River was perfection. Private, with incredible views inside and out. We were drawn outside and spent most of our time enjoying the beautifully kept lawn with the rolling hills and ocean as the backdrop. Inside the home we enjoyed the rustic charms along with the wood burning fireplace. We spent our days here, inside and out, in Awe. The rooms were spotless, the beds were comfy and the pantry was stocked. Sue was always responsive. You can’t get a better host. We loved our stay and will definitely be back.”

    Deana, Middle River, April 2024

  • “As soon as we arrived at the property we were in absolute awe of the ocean views and the beautiful grounds. It’s a scenic piece of paradise. The home itself felt rustic, yet had a grand vibe. The attention to detail in the decor was so beautifully interesting. The home was spotless and provided more than everything we needed. We truly enjoyed every moment here and definitely plan to come back. Honestly, words and photos just don’t do justice to the magic place that is the Grass House at Middle River. And, as far as hosts go, you can’t get better than Sue -friendly, Great communication, and always responsive”

  • “This is quite possibly my new favourite place in KI. A perfect spot to take our visitors from overseas with Kangaroos literally on the doorstep each morning and evening. A beautiful and well appointed place in magical surroundings. I would highly recommend this stay and will be back next time we visit KI. Thanks so much Sue and Andrew for sharing your place and being wonderful hosts.”

  • “Wow! Sue’s place on Kangaroo Island was an absolute paradise. The views to the hills and the ocean are just stunning. The sunsets and sunrises are like a dream. Every single day we saw kangaroos all over the hillsides and coming right up to the house. Seeing the kangaroos so close — including a mother and joey — was the highlight of the trip for our two young children. The wildlife on this island is truly amazing! We saw kangaroos, wallabies, eagles, an echidna, quokka and koalas. The wild koalas were just sleeping in the trees only minutes away on the side of the road. The house is wonderfully comfortable and has everything one could possibly need, including beach chairs, beach towels and a beach shade shelter. We saw so many pristine beaches that were never crowded. At times we were the only ones on the beach. It really is such a special place and an absolute natural paradise here. This has been one of our very favorite vacations. Thank you for the memories!”

The house was in pristine condition, very clean, and had all the amenities and supplies we needed. Sue was also very responsive, thoughtful, and accommodating. I highly recommend Sue's lovely home.”

  • “The Grass Tree is magnificent. It’s one of the most beautiful spots I’ve ever stayed. The location is stunning. Snellings beach, 5min drive from the house, is a beauty. The wildlife around the property, the view, the moon rising over the ocean, a magical place. Hope to be back some day. Thanks Sue.”

  • “This place was amazing. With kangaroos roaming in the back yard and other wild life close by, you got to experience the Australian outback with beautiful sea views. You will have a great adventure staying here. Thanks Sue.”

  • “This is a dream property! Everything is so beautifully done, gorgeous furnishing and fittings. The view (northeast facing) from lounge and main two bedrooms is stunning, over Backstairs Passage and an ever changing sea, to the Fleurieu. The owners have thought of everything, from a well-equipped kitchen with coffee machine, to quality handwashes and tissues in the bathrooms. the bed was so comfortable and great shower…
So peaceful! Birds fly past and kangaroos venture out. Communication with Sue was prompt and Welcoming. It was a wrench to leave. Highly recommended.”
