    There was no complaints or nothing we didn’t like.

    To the amazing views of Stokes Bay to the amazing sunsets to watch from the balcony of your cottage. You will get to see nature’s beauty at its best. The wildlife on your doorstep we had kangaroos, echidna sheep and a dog visit on a regular basis.Centrally located to drive to all Kangaroo Island has to offer.The serenity of the waves and wildlife was just what we wanted and it exceeded our expectation. First time to Kangaroo Island and loved every day we were there. Couldn’t recommend a better place to stay. Stokes Bay cafe was ideally located a short walk or drive and the food was exceptional.

    Awesome location and stay at these beautiful cottages, which are on a large area overlooking Stokes Bay and surrounding hills. Kangaroos and sheep grazing out the front. Great communications from the owners and finding a local bottle of wine and honey was a welcome surprise The cottage was very spacious and fully furnished with all the essential amenities including cooking. The cabins are very well spaced apart to ensure privacy. Stokes Bay Beach, recently voted one of the best beaches in Australia is a short walk away. Amazing sunset views from our balcony our very own backyard. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Kangaroo Island.

    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

    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

    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.

    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. 👏

    Not a big deal but the driveway coming in is a bit rough and could do with a scrape and a smoothing.

    We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was very comfortable, well decorated, clean and in the most amazing location. On a cliff top overlooking a most excellent beach and the sea. In fact, in our opinion, we would say that this is the best beach on the island. Sad that we couldn't stay longer. As a bonus, this area is a hangout for over 40 friendly kangaroos and a small mob of sheep. So much fun to see.
