Stunning views, abundant wildlife

Stayed in September 2024

Hot water issue on arrival although owners were very responsive. Driveway was very rough on small car. Frustration with trying to find commercial tv channels. Suggest hanging space for wet jackets, etc and/or long hanging space.

Location, welcoming note and samples, friendliness and responsiveness of owners. Overall, was an excellent break and we were able to wind down and relax in the welcoming environment.

This was by far the best stay of our trip to South Australia. A bit off the beaten path for KI but BEAUTIFUL VIEWS and VERY FRIENDLY owners. BOOK THIS PLACE! They are amazing and have tons of kangaroos around (and lambs at the moment as well) (which we got to feed both). Paul even got a fire going for us on our second night which was amazing

Hot water quite patchy.

Cosy cottage situated on a cliff above Stokes Bay Beach. Cottage had the basic essentials in a remote location. Wonderful sunset over the ocean. Good heating for winter.

The location is stunning. Stokes Bay Beach is gorgeous, as is nearby Snelling Beach. It is roughly equidistant between the East & Flinders Chase so although you need to drive each way, you can decide what to do based on the weather. Owners, Paul & Katja, are very friendly & quick to respond to any questions. Very quiet& peaceful. Lots of wildlife at your door. Kitchen hadeverything we needed. A lovely place to stay

nothing to dislike about Waves and Wilderness.

I absolutely loved this place. It is right above/next Stokes Beach, which was voted best beach in 2023, and has some of the best sunsets I have ever seen. When you have breakfast, kangaroos are hopping everywhere around your window (if you prefer to eat indoors). There are koalas in the trees a bit further and at dawn the wallabies come out. The owners make sure you have everything and even let us hand feed the kangaroos. I really enjoyed the silence of nature at night, this was my best sleep on my Australian travels (amazing blanket and pillow as well).

Nothing we did not like just a suggestion that it woulld be a geeat addition to have a comfy chair / lounger on the verandah.

Location, location , location. Just stunning. Cabins were well equipped. Check in was easy.

The road in was very rough but doable going very slow. It was worth it for the great stay.

Loved the views and the wallabies. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The beach down the road was lovely.

Going back to Victoria!!! 🤬

Both loved our 3 day stay at Waves & Wildlife cottages, peaceful, beautiful views surrounded by wallabies ( no people 😄 )😉👌. 1 minute drive down to Stokes Bay Beach which is superb ♥️. Just loved the tranquillity of the Island. 👏

Beautiful location with views over Stokes Bay and the countryside. The wildlife and birds were wonderful. There were many kangaroos all day onsite and many wallaby's at dusk.

If you like quiet relaxing places near wildlife this is the right choice! The ocean, the view, lots of kangaroos, lots of stars on the night sky!

Heating can be better. Reverse cycle air con would do better job with efficiency as compared to air heaters

Amazing location, sea view with plenty of wildlife

We’ve been traveling for many years and this has just become our #1 most memorable accommodation we’ve had. Paul and Katja are very kind and nice hosts, their two cute doggos are very sweet and the highlight is the Kangaroo “mob” that calls the surroundings their home and are always around. We loved watching them mornings and evenings in between the nature trips, they are very calming to watch grazing and hopping around. Paul and Katja even left a Kangaroo documentary DVD we could watch and learn even more about these fascinating animals. Paul enhances their diet with some barley from time to time and allows the guests to feed them. They are very gentle and curious creatures. What is more the views and sunsets are breathtaking and the location is perfect for exploring the natural wonders of the main part of the island. Take the road through Pardana which uses bitumen (kind of an asphalt). Be mindful that a lot of roads on KI are gravel roads or dirt tracks so if you are too precious about your car think twice.

Incredible place, the wildlife and the scenery made this stay unforgettable. The cabins themselves were nice too, spacious and comfortable with everything you need - even a coffee machine! It was quite cold when we were staying but the heating in the cabins worked well and blankets and dressing gowns were provided which was a great touch.

All fantastic

The location was stunning. Cottages overlooking the ocean with kangaroos hopping about. The name describes it perfectly. Generous gift of wine, honey and chocolate left by Katja and Paul. Such a lovely welcoming touch.

No restaurant or market around the vicinity.

You get to see stunning view in front of the cottage with wallabies jumping around; very clean and spacious cottage with all kinds of kitchenware ready. The best part is the owner will feed the wallabies in the evening, guest are welcomed to feed them as well. We enjoyed the stay a lot.
