We arrived on a 42C degree day, and were thankful that the air conditioner had been switched on to cool the main living rooms. Luckily it cooled overnight and bedrooms were comfortable with overhead fans. Deck overlooking the water was lovely to spot pelicans and sea birds. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking at home. Small Weber Q BBQ was good for us 4. Communication was excellent with thd thoughtful owners.

We loved our stay at Aalen Beach House. The property is extremely well located with superb beach views and a lovely balcony. We had a lovely time looking out for birds and other activity on the beach, and wandering along the beach exploring.
The house is very thoughtfully kitted out with everything that you need for an enjoyable stay. Absolutely recommend.

Big house for two! Very easy check in process and upon entry the view of the ocean is just spectacular! Bed was comfy and all you need for cooking is in the kitchen.
Thank god for working WiFi which did work perfectly for us especially my partner still working on the trip. Only weird thing that didn’t work was en-suite shower with hot water.. no matter how long you let water run no hot water but other shower was fine! Plus we didn’t want to waste water so just used other.
I was telling friends we must come back again with our babies and kids as house was just lovely!

Many thanks to Paul & Jen for the stay in their lovely bungalow. There were only two of us, but the house can easily suppport a couple of families. The main living area is the centerpiece of the house, with floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors onto the balcony with views into the Bay. Highly recommended. Neale & Debbie

Plenty of room for a family group, very clean and comfortable. Space for peace and relaxation. Direct beach access to a stunning part of KI really made this stay excellent. House is well equipped with all the necessary items required, although my family decided there were too many great places to eat out so didn’t cook once - I call that a true holiday!

Nothing to report. Unable to get to the accommodation account ferry cancelled on the day of travel. I understand there is a cancellation policy and by not arriving it could have been booked by someone else but no one else would have been able to travel either.

Our stay at Aalen was beyond our expectations. The house itself is well laid out and beautifully appointed. The bedrooms were all of good size and beds very comfortable. The views from the kitchen and living area out to the beach were amazing and a large outdoor table on the front deck made it so easy to relax.
Jen and Paul were terrific hosts, easy to communicate with and quick to respond when we had a question.
We would highly recommend this property and are certainly intending to return in the future.

We had a fabulous stay at this perfect home. Fantastic location with such magical views of the water. Loved all the sunrises whilst enjoying a morning cuppa on the verandah. Very well equipped home. Would recommend this home for anyone visiting the island.
A small bit of long life milk to make that 1st cuppa when we arrived would have been appreciated. Thank you 😊

We were very happy with our stay - the three queen bedrooms were ideal for our family and the two living areas was also a bonus. The kids loved being able to walk directly out the front onto the beach. There were plenty of games, books and DVDs for the few rainy mornings. The house has plenty of room for two families and we would recommend it to our friends.
