Kangaroo Island lies close to the South Australian mainland and immediately south of the state capital, Adelaide. Kangaroo Island is renowned for rugged wild cliffs of the south coast to the protected sandy bays of the north coast. The south coast features seal colonies, sculptured rock formations, Flinders Chase National Park and great bushwalking. The north coast offers good fishing, safe swimming and spectacular views. The Beach House and Georgina’s Place are situated on the north coast, in Eastern Cove which means its beach is safe for children and where the sea is usually calm.The Island is known for its flora and fauna – we have our own penguin colony breeding and hatching around both houses (which is why we don’t allow dogs to visit). There are great bush walks, wildflowers in the spring, fish for the catching and a wide variety of naive birds and animals. The lawn in front of the The Beach House is a popular dinner spot for several wallabies and kangaroos.
