About this house rental

Situated in Vivonne Bay, this charming house for $169 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. THE CLOSEST WALK TO THE BEACH...! StormySky BeachHouse has been voted in the Top 10 rental homes on Kangaroo Island by South Australia Tourism and is a is a light and spacious character beach house literally 100 steps from the beach. It is tucked into a secluded bush setting, so that whilst one hears the waves crashing on the beach, there is protection from the elements. The beach house will appeal to people wanting accommodation designed for a nature based holiday experience, yet still providing all the comforts required to have a relaxing and enjoyable break. StormySky has three bedrooms with one queen, one double and two single beds, so can sleep six people comfortably. There is a fully equipped kitchen so that one can take advantage of any locally bought specialty Kangaroo Island produce, and adjacent to the living area is a great outdoor patio with BBQ. The lounge has a cosy wood fire for those cool nights, a TV, stereo, books and games, and there are overhead fans in the living area and main bedroom for the warmer days. Please be mindful that the house is entirely run on rainwater, so minimal water consumption is appreciated. SURROUNDINGS Those 100 steps or so from StormySky BeachHouse brings you to the middle of the expansive Vivonne Bay beach with its captivating turquoise water. The Eleanor and Harriet Rivers, with their calm water, are both great walks from here. The Harriet is suitable for boating, fishing and safe swimming for the kids and there is a playground on the western side of the river. Further around, near Castle Rock and the jetty there is good snorkeling. The jetty of course is a great place to try your hand at catching dinner. Wildlife abounds, with wallabies, possums and goannas seen regularly near the house. Little Penguins can sometimes be sighted after dark near the jetty and there is the odd Fur Seal sighting; in the winter months one may spot Southern Right Whales. Birds are ubiquitous and are seen in abundance both in the bush and on the sea shore. Our favourite visitors to the house are the Superb Fairy Wren and the beautiful Firetail Finch. Fill up the bird bath outside the kitchen window to encourage more feathered visitors! The local shop stocks basic supplies, makes the best whiting burger and down the road at Outdoor Action one can hire gear such kayaks, canoes, sandboards and surfboards. The local golf course is an experience. And the coastline is stunning; one can walk along the beach for miles. If the southerly breeze or the surf beach is a little too much for you, turn towards the jetty and you will find a little sheltered swimming spot at the end of the beach, or walk over that headland to the safe and beautiful Castle Rock beach. Vivonne Bay is ideally placed to access all of the major attractions on the Island. Little Sahara (sand boarding) and Raptor Domain (amazing bird shows) are close by. Flinders Chase (for Admirals Arch and the Remarkable Rocks), Seal Bay, Hanson Bay and Kelly Hill Caves are all within a half hour drive.

Thank you so much for having us! We had a wonderful time. Loved the beach styling of the house and being in such a great location, within walking distance to the beach! The kids had a ball!

Surrounded by the wild beauty of Vivonne Bay beach and close to kangaroos and birdlife, this is an excellent and comfortable house for a family. Little to no reception for phone use so if you can't be out of touch then perhaps stay closer to the bigger settlements. Also you will need to be prepared with groceries as there are minimal options for food in the area. It is a big drive to the supermarket and no options for an evening meal under 30 minutes drive away. If you want peace and quiet with multiple amazing interactions with nature this place is fantastic

Rustic holiday place, a great base for exploring the west and south of the island. Interesting books to read, and decore to enjoy. Loved the birds and wallabies that visited the property. Very close to a wild and beautiful beach. We found the low lounge a bit hard to get out of.

easy access. Our family 'found' playing cards again a GREAT idea. A short walk to the steps down to a stunning beach & a 400 mt (approx) walk along the beach to Harriertt river. The outdoor space behind the house is delightful. Book of information & instruction most welcoming & helpful. Well appointed through out. Quality thought of furniture & fittings. Convenient to Admirals Arch, Remarkable Rocks etc. & Hanson Bay beach for a paddle and walk. Lots of fauna & bird life close to the house. Having spent a few days near American River we picked a perfect spot & hostess at this end of this wonderful island. Thank you.

Lovely quiet retreat to explore the southern and western areas of kangaroo island. Also an opportunity to stay in and play some board games.

I wish we had stayed longer as this was exactly what the family needed. Time out in beautiful accommodation with all of our activities within driving reach. Vivonne Beach is a hidden gem and incredibly private. Our girls had an amazing time splashing about in the waves. We have been reasonably blessed with weather but will definitely be back in warmer months to take advantage of the outdoors at Stormy Skye.
