A Holiday with Peace of Mind.
When you stay with us you are treading lightly on the environment.
Kangaroo Island is the third largest island in Australia. To avoid disappointment we strongly recommend at least a two day minimum stay. If you enjoy bushwalking, wildlife, birdwatching or photography then 3 to 5 nights is ideal. Tour Kangaroo Island: www.tourkangarooisland.com.au
“Thanks for a fantastic 3 nights stay!! Great welcome and the food was fabulous. Great days touring on the island too - so much to see... will need to come back!!”

Getting to the Island

Flying
Two airlines fly from Adelaide to Kangaroo Island. Regional Express Airlines fly from the International Airport. They have a luggage limit of 15kg. You will be charged $3 per kilo if you are over that limit. Rex offer a locker system for excess luggage if you chose to redistribute it for your island visit.
Self Drive Touring
This is an affordable and convenient way to experience other attractions on the island. Many of the island's best kept secrets are found not only on sealed roads but also unsealed roads. Most are accessible by 2wd, but for the adventurous at heart, a 4 wd would be more comfortable. Our scenic bush track is negotiable by 2 wheel drive vehicles with care in almost all weather conditions. However, as it is rocky in places, it is not suitable for vehicles with low ground clearance.
We suggest that if you are planning to hire a car, hire on the island, some hire companies do not allow their vehicles onto KI. We suggest that you carefully check the Terms & Conditions. There are two companies which operate on the island:
