Island Time was charming and spacious, with a big deck surrounded by trees. Beds comfortable, bathroom works well, and the kitchen is very well equipped: you could cook most things here. Its really quiet and peaceful, and the beach is close. We had a marvellous time and loved the wallabies and birds round the house.

The kitchen was very well equipped and the hosts had provided coffee, tea and a few basic condiments which was much appreciated. The house is in a great location to enjoy the island and next to a stunning beach.

We switched to relaxation mode as soon as we arrived. The kitchen had every utensil we needed. It was wonderful to have a coffee machine too. The house was very clean and comfortable, cosy. We were delighted to see a koala and her joey in the trees outside the deck, an echidna and wallabies wandering through. They loved the carrot and apple pieces each evening. The owners have thought of everything including a clothes airer for washing. The location is close to the general store and the beach, but still very private and tranquil.

Das Haus hat alles, was man braucht und ist sehr geschmackvoll und schön eingerichtet. Bitte jedoch dringend die Vorhänge an den Fenstern und auch die Betten reinigen lassen. Auch der Aussenbereich sollte gereinigt werden. Wir haben uns trotzdem sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Kontakt zum Eigentümer war wirklich sehr nett.

Thank you for allowing us to stay at your property, it provided an ideal base to explore the surrounds of that part of the island. The visits from several furry friends were a real high light (wallabies, koalas, Lola the dog). If I was to provide any constructive feedback, we weren't provided with any towels for our daughter (3rd guest) and a hand towel would have been great. Overall though, was a fantastic stay.

Fabulous position as very peaceful so all you can hear are the birds & the surf (beach easy walking distance from house). Hosts email all relevant information and are accessible if necessary. We have travelled a lot around KI and this property is simply marvellous! Thanks
