    So nice and relaxing by the beach with amazing views. Very peaceful with all the wildlife and cute penguins nesting under the deck. There a cool little path down to the beach which is lovely and great to swim in .

    Although we didn't meet the host she sent lots of useful information. The property is in a beautiful stop of Emu Bay overlooking the beach, we were lucky to see Dolphins whilst eating breakfast outside, also a Possum came to visit one night &...

    The location was great with our own access to beautiful Emu Bay. The accommodation was comfortable and had plenty of room. The little penguins on the deck in the evenings made our stay extra special.

Property info

A fully renovated one bedroom beach house set on the dunes at majestic Emu Bay. Only a few steps and you are on the pristine white sands where you can enjoy a beach walk, swim or try your luck at fishing. Rumah Pantai is set amongst native vegetation and is home to penguins, assorted bird life, goannas and the occasional koala. The outdoor deck is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beach activities during the day or enjoy the moonlight reflecting over the water by night.

Neighborhood info

One of only a few absolute beachfront properties at Emu Bay "Rumah Pantai" ( beach house in Indonesian ) is the last standing example of the original Beach Shacks built by the Farmers on Kangaroo Island over 50 years ago. Fully renovated it has been designed to encompass it's natural surroundings and create tranquility much as is found in Bali. Nestled in the trees the house is protected from wind most times and the views are of sea, beach and bush. Penguins nest under the front deck, birds are attracted by the bird bath and surrounding vegetation and a goanna lives close by and visits ( they are not timid but will not attack you! ) The occasional koala will camp out for a night in either the back or front trees. Echidnas dig around, especially in Autumn and Winter, in the surrounding bush land. The private rock path through the trees allows direct access to the 5 km long beach which is ideal for long walks. People also drive their cars up the beach to find their own private area for swimming or picnics. The jetty and boat ramp has its group of resident pelicans. Fishing off the jetty or beach are popular activities. There is a children's playground close by.
