At Ocean View overlooking Vivonne Bay - minutes' walk to beach, guests consistently rave about sweeping bay views, abundant wallabies and birdlife, and the easy walk to the sand, creating a peaceful, nature-focused base for exploring Kangaroo Island.
Guests highlight the well equipped kitchen and comfortable, family friendly spaces. Hosts are widely praised for clear, helpful communication. Connectivity is a recurring weak point, with several mentions of poor or non functioning internet and patchy phone reception; there is an isolated complaint about the owner and amenity accuracy. Expect a self catering, nature centric stay with easy beach access and limited connectivity.

Excellent property - perfect for our stay with grandparent and 3 kids. Good location for main attractions in southwest of island, lovely wildlife that comes to the door and full spec kitchen for making meals - including brand new Miele cooker/oven. Ian was excellent as a host and provided some great information and check-in experience.

We really enjoyed our short Easter stay at Ocean View, the name says it all the place had a gorgeous view of the Vivionne Bay, which we loved. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay, so it was almost like cooking at hm. Hosts were communicative and I particularly like their tips about the remoteness and being prepared. We had planned to eat one night at the General store, but had not realised it was not open at night. We all loved the Tamar Wallabies that visited am and pm and they were a highlight. We were warned by the host that phone receptions would not be good, and the internet was out during our stay so it was a great opportunity to disconnect!

Our family of four had the most amazing stay. The home is designed well for guests to enjoy the outlook and seaview from both the balcony and the lounge/ living area. We thoroughly enjoyed the visiting wildlife and the location is so peaceful. This beach house is well thought out and has everything you need. Perfect location for visiting the Island highlights such as Remarkable Rocks, Seal Conversation area and Admirals Arch. So good that we already are planning another visit.

Ocean View was absolutely fantastic! The view over Vivonne Bay was mesmerising and we loved sitting on the deck watching the waves roll in and out. Even more fun was watching the birds and little Tamar wallabies eating the food that we had put out for them in the garden only metres away from us. The house has everything we needed, including cooking utensils for a couple of gourmet meals. The beds were extremely comfortable and the whole house comfortable and warm. We loved our stay at Ocean View and would love to return in the winter to use the binoculars for some whale watching. Absolutely recommend!

We paid the full Non refundable cost only to be advised by the owner that there is NO Spa Whirlpool or Hot tub as advertised. He also added sarcastically that there was no Gymnasium!! That the main reason we booked this property. There was not even a Bath in the Shower room/Laundry. Hot water tap in Shower was faulty and not fixed. No Shampoo provided, no additional rubbish bags, mattress uncomfortable, old uncomfortable Lounge chairs, old damaged rug, mouldy outdoor setting, only 3 beach towels for 4 people, no books to read.

Our family of four loved our stay at Oceanview. It was probably the best located house to stay in at Vivonne Bay with the beach just a walk down the steps and the jetty a short drive away. The communication with Ian and Ann was fantastic and they responded to messages promptly. The house was clean and exactly as described. We would definitely stay there again!

Unfortunately the internet wasn't working, but this was not the owner's fault. Otherwise our stay was perfect and in a great location if you want to see the whole island.

Highly recommend Ocean View at Vivonne Bay! The name says it all -- it definitely has the best view in town. The accommodations were perfect for my husband, adult daughter and I. This was our first visit to Kangaroo Island and we found Vivonne Bay to be a great location to explore the island from. Highlights were feeding the wallabies carrots every evening and watching them from the deck and the gorgeous sunrises over the bay.

If you enjoy nature and wildlife: this is it! My daughter (20) and I spent three nights here in February. Ian provided helpful area information in advance. The BEST (in addition to the ocean view and walks on the beach) was the wildlife: various types of birds splashing in the plate of water on the deck and a "mob" of Tammar Wallabies who greeted us each morning and evening. Precious.

Our family of four loved our stay at Oceanview. It was probably the best located house to stay in at Vivonne Bay with the beach just a walk down the steps and the jetty a short drive away. The communication with Ian and Ann was fantastic and they responded to messages promptly. The house was clean and exactly as described. We would definitely stay there again!

Amazing location. Right next to outdoor adventures like little Sahara, and atv tours, and the wildlife refuge. Wonderful, secluded beach with all sorts of wildlife. Loved the wallaby visitors and the bird visitors.

Ocean View was absolutely fantastic! The view over Vivonne Bay was mesmerising and we loved sitting on the deck watching the waves roll in and out. Even more fun was watching the birds and little Tamar wallabies eating the food that we had put out for them in the garden only metres away from us. The house has everything we needed, including cooking utensils for a couple of gourmet meals. The beds were extremely comfortable and the whole house comfortable and warm. We loved our stay at Ocean View and would love to return in the winter to use the binoculars for some whale watching. Absolutely recommend!
