Island Time at Vivonne Bay - short walk to beach
About this house rental
Situated in Vivonne Bay, this attractive house for $118 per night is a great option for your next break. Island Time is a lovely air-conditioned self-catering holiday house located at beautiful Vivonne Bay on the south coast of Kangaroo Island, two hundred metres from one of Australia's most stunning beaches. The decor is modern with a bright and airy ambience. There are two bedrooms at opposite ends of the house, each featuring new queen beds. The fully equipped kitchen includes an island bench, a new Westinghouse stove with ceramic cooktop and an espresso machine with ground coffee supplied. Also new Scanpan cookware & cutlery and a rice cooker. The laundry is equipped with a new LG front-loading washing machine, laundry tub, ironing board and clothes airer. A clothesline is located at the rear of the house. Free WiFi is included, taking advantage of broadband Internet available in Vivonne Bay. Foxtel satellite TV is provided along with a widescreen TV, Blu-ray player and a Bluetooth stereo system that provides smartphone connectivity for playing your favourite music. Plus a selection of DVD movies and music CDs. Our bedrooms are suitable for one or two couples or a family. An infant cot can be set up on request in advance of arrival and use of a trundle bed can be arranged. The house is comfortable year-round with reverse cycle air-conditioning to the open-plan living area together with a pedestal fan. Dual control electric blankets are fitted to the beds for cosy winter nights along with MiniJumbuk wool quilts. Extra pillows and blankets are available. The spacious outside deck overlooks a tranquil wooded valley and catches the morning sun. There is a 3-burner gas BBQ on the deck along with a new table setting and LED lighting. A great spot for morning coffee, BBQ breakfasts and alfresco dinners. A fish-cleaning sink is attached to the end of the deck. Wildlife abounds with Tammar wallabies being frequent visitors below the deck along with brushtail possums and occasional koalas. Numerous bird species flit about in the bush surrounds including honeyeaters and superb fairywrens. Bold little striated pardalotes are prevalent in Spring & Summer and occupy nests above the deck. We have also installed a birdbath in the rear garden which is popular with honeyeaters and wrens. Island Time is ideally located between Kangaroo Island's major attractions, with Raptor Domain and Seal Bay lying to the east, and Kelly Hill Caves, Admiral's Arch, Remarkable Rocks and Flinders Chase National Park to the west. KI Wildlife Park, Stokes Bay and Hidden Beach lie to the north. Local activities include swimming, surfing, kayaking, fishing from the beach and jetty, sand-boarding, quad-bike riding and walks along the pristine beach to the Harriet and Eleanor Rivers. Local facilities include the Vivonne Bay General Store, jetty & boat ramp. Mobile phone coverage is provided by Optus and Telstra, noting the Telstra signal is weak in Vivonne Bay. Island Time is an easy ~70 minutes drive from the ferry terminal at Penneshaw and 40 minutes from Kingscote Airport. We welcome you to Island Time which we have been operating as a holiday house since 2014. It is a real home-away-from-home.

Thank you for allowing us to stay at your property, it provided an ideal base to explore the surrounds of that part of the island. The visits from several furry friends were a real high light (wallabies, koalas, Lola the dog).
If I was to provide any constructive feedback, we weren't provided with any towels for our daughter (3rd guest) and a hand towel would have been great.
Overall though, was a fantastic stay.

Ian was always very helpful in our communication. The property was well maintained and very well equipped. We loved feeding the wallabies and being able to watch them at such close range. Vivonne Bay is a great location for all the main attractions in the south and south west of K I.

It is an attractive and very comfortable small property. Ideally situated for exploring the natural part of the island. Flowers were magnificent, as the island recovers from the bushfires. Penneshaw IGA a 'go to' for provisioning before heading to Vivonne Bay.

It was a great stay at Island Time, we only saw and got to feed a Wallaby and it's joey once in the front yard, but there was evidence they were there near the balcony throughout our stay as they ate the fruit we left each day (that or the possum).
It was a great location walking distance to the beach and central to everything we did while in KI. Would stay there again and was the perfect size for a small young family (x2 adults x1 4yo). Had everything we needed for cooking at the house too.

The gale force wind roared in from the Roaring 40's but we were safe and secure in our accomodation. this may be a regular occurrence as exterior paint seemed to have been blasted of the building and needed to be replaced, Internally excellent in every way.

Perfect spot for a winter break
This property is ideal for independent travellers who want a relaxing base to explore from. It was the perfect spot to stay and had all the facilities we required for self-catering. Our hosts were extremely helpful and welcoming, providing a great deal of useful information about Kangaroo Island and checking that we had everything we needed. We were also introduced to the local wildlife which was a lovely additional touch! Thank you!

Quiet, comfy and a great location!
The place had everything we needed, with comfortable beds (the electric blankets were very welcome!) and so close to the beautiful Vivonne Bay beach - a pristine beach that's fantastic for long or short walks. We loved being visited each night by three hungry wallabies! The place is conveniently located not too far from the Parndana supermarket and Flinders Chase. The neighbours are respectfully quiet, and Ann and Ian provided prompt and friendly communication at all times. We'll be back for sure!

Our family had a fantastic stay at Island time. Ann and Ian had excellent communication and we found the house exactly as expected. Vivonne Bay is a great location for seeing various sights on KI and being only a 5 minute walk to the beach, we made great use of it- morning beach walks, breakfast on the beach. The house was well set up and equipped.
Thanks for a lovely stay

Our family had an amazing time at Island time. The location is spectacular and the property was clean, tidy, and exactly what we were hoping for. The kids loved feeding the wallabies that visit at dusk. Would definitely consider returning on our next trip to KI.

The Perfect Beach House
Island Time is a perfect beach house nestled in sand dunes behind Vivonne Bay Beach, wth a deck surrounded by trees that attract wallabies and blue wrens. It has an excellent, well equipped kitchen, comfortable queen beds, and generous light filled living areas wth lounges, TV and a large dining table- all very well organised and clean. The host thoughtfully sent us pre arrival information about the house, sights to see, places to visit and restaurants. It is an excellent location from which to venture forth to explore Kangaroo Island.

Our second trip to the same Vivonne Bay accommodation in a year, with good reason! The property is comfortable, conveniently situated and has everything one might need, so staying there is a pleasure! The beach is long and great for walks, and it doesn't take long to get to attractions like Flinders Chase, Hanson bay, seal colonies etc. We would recommend this property for a Vivonne Bay stay!
