A local private airstrip is just 5 minutes away. Relax, unwind, recharge, play and explore Kangaroo Island from this superb base. Enjoy the peace, tranquility and seclusion of your private getaway with spectacular, uninterrupted 200˚ views. Contemplate the Island’s nautical history. Meander along the pristine sands of Antechamber Bay. Watch the sunrise from your private deck as the seals feed and the dolphins play.A stroll along the 3 km of our pristine beach will reveal the splendours of Antechamber Bay with spectacular views across Backstairs Passage to the mainland and The Pages islands. The area is full of tracks leading along the Chapman River, through bushland, sandhills and lagoons. Kangaroo Island is 155 km end to end and 55km at its widest point. It will take a minimum of 3 to 4 full days to travel around the island to take in all the sites, let alone time to relax and spend some time fishing or bush walking. We can guarantee there’ll be more than enough to do and see if you stay a week or more.
