Bedding was comfortable, kitchen was functional and the home was clean and well presented.

Loved it, thank you!

Convenient location - very close to the river which is great for fishing and kayaking. Beach only a short walk away. Very quiet, nestled among trees. Enjoyed relaxing and eating on the front deck. Had some visits of a cute possum and spotted wallabies in the neighbourhood.
The house is spacious with all the facilities we needed. Can definitely recommend!

Really lovely property, very clean, WONDERFUL beds, lots of extra bed linen if needed, loads of ingredients in pantry, extra toilet was very handy with four adults in our family.
Bonus was seeing a wallaby feeding right next to access steps one night.
If we come back to KI, I would love to stay here again. Thanks!

We had a wonderful holiday at Kangastay. Everything was clean and comfortable and it was easy to feel at home straight away. The little extra comforts that you can see all throughout Kangastay make it even more relaxing. We will be back one day!

The house was lovely. Good balcony area for alfresco dining and the option of sitting out the back also. The house is built on a slope so access is either via steps at the front or walk up to the back entrance. Clean. One bathroom, two toilets.

Kangastay was comfortable, clean and had everything we could have needed. The power cut was a bit disconcerting, but Dean managed to get the water pump going again, and helped us divert a flooding, having left the tap on in the kitchen sink with the plug in. Thanks for providing such a lovely spot to stay and enjoy the wonders of KI.

Utilised Vivonne bay as a stepping off point for surrounding areas.
Kangastay more than suited our needs.
Enjoyed browsing the books and puzzles.

Great location, great open living/dining/kitchen area. Kitchen utensil, glasses etc okay, at least it's all there (might need an extra wash before using, seems the previous tenants didn't leave them as clean as they might have found them, not a big deal). We definitely would love to come back :)

Kangastay is a perfect location for a relaxed and comfortable stay on Kangaroo Island. It's set in a bush setting with native animals close by. It is well equipped with everything you need and has a good selection of books etc with information on plants, animals and birds of the area. It is a handy location for the West end of the Island and is just over an hour from the Ferry port.

Ros' place is a perfect place to stay for people who are interested in a quiet, relaxing, non touristy area, and don't care about the latest mod cons. It is comfy, had everything we needed, and we felt as if we were in our own family holiday house, rather than in a commercial rented space.
4.0
We found the property quite comfortable with all the amenities we needed. It would be well suited to families as there were many games at the house. I did find the stairs a little tricky as I’m recovering from an accident. Overall Vivonne was a good place as a base to visit that area of Kangaroo island

We enjoyed our stay at the house very much.
However since an elderly person stayed at the house the paving around it formed an obstacle to walk securely.

The home was spacious, clean & secluded (by Trees), very lovely spot close to the Beach & Jetty for Fishing. You didn't need to bring much as a fair bit was already supplied. Will recommend to friends.

False presentation of the green shed -- which was actually a rusty old thing . Owner had doubled up on the booking , another person was in the house when I arrived. She did apologise but did not know how to surrender the booking to me !. Makes me wary of using Stayz budget clients .

Lovely home
We enjoyed our stay. Had loads of games, books and DVDs and it had everything we needed. Including candles when we had a power cut for a few hours, and Dean popped in to check on us which was very kind. Recommend! Just bring food with you as the local store doesn’t have a lot and closes early.
