“Quintessential Kangaroo Island, the perfect spot to unplug surrounded by unspoiled nature”
+Perfectly located, surrounded by wildlife and just a pleasant trek down a sand dune to the beach. Very private and relaxing but just a short drive to Kingscote.
−A washing machine would be helpful on longer stays

“A Wonderful Experience”
+We loved the seclusion, privacy and connection with Nature. Dune Escape is truly an amazing place to stay and reset.

“Beautiful beach shack with a great location.”
+Amazing location with a great view of the beach from the outdoor viewing area with deck chairs, only a short drive from cafes and shops but feels very remote and secluded. Cute shack feel perfect for a family getaway with full kitchen. Host quite responsive to issues.
−We had an issue with the water pump failing so were left without any water for a decent portion of our stay - however the host was very responsive to try and fix the issue but would recommend replacing the pump before having future guests stay at the property. The TV also wasn’t connected to any channels or internet so we weren’t able to use it. The path down to the beach is very adventurous and not for the faint hearted.

“Would definitely recommend the house to others, and return myself.”
+Lovely welcome with fresh flowers and local produce. Fantastic location with fabulous ocean views, with dolphins, just a short step away. Cosy and comfortable furnishings. Fully appointed kitchen.
−No laundry facilities.

+It was beautiful and just what we wanted. Bread was left but maybe butter sachets and maybe some jam ones would be good too. I thought it was pricey for a 2 day week day stay but it was clean. Furniture was comfy if not a bit shabby but ok for us. Fire was good although no kindling left and we had to go downstairs for the wood. It would have been good if there was some left upstairs.
−It was alot of money for 2 nights that should be amended .

“The location of the accommodation was not really for us, but may suit a young family”
+Self-contained accommodation was very good and comfortable
−Accommodation was in a remote location along a rough unsealed road and not quite as we imagined it would be. At time of booking, we believed that it would look over the island coastline, but instead it backed into the hill with view of a salt quarry opposite. It was necessary to clamber up a very rough path at back of unit to get to top for a view of beach and coastline below. Path to top was not suitable for older couple to navigate.

“Exceptional”
−There were 2 PIN codes sent, no big deal but a bit confusing if you’re asking about getting the keys

“Peaceful and tranquil with a visit from Roos and Crimson Rosellas.”
+Spacious, peaceful, very clean and comfortable.
−The road leading to the property was very rough, a 4X4 would suit the drive better than a car. The access to the beach was too difficult to walk down for us. No view of the beach from the property.
