Lagoon House KI
Once you arrive on Kangaroo Island you are only a short drive to Lagoon House. Situated 18km from the Penneshaw Ferry Terminal or 35km from the Kingscote Airport. The house is set on the edge of an ever changing tidal lagoon. Wallabies & the Heath Goannas make their homes in the bushland surrounding Lagoon House. You can watch them from the deck as they go on their daily walks. Possums & echidnas also live close by. The safety of the lagoon makes an excellent breeding ground for many of the Island's unique bird life. Blue Wrens flit amongst the trees just outside the deck. Fish for King George Whiting off the beach or maybe feed the pelicans at sunset at Strawbridge Point. Swim in the pristine waters of Island Beach or just enjoy the silence of the beautiful bushland.
Island Attractions
There are so many wonderful experiences to enjoy on Kangaroo Island. Join the penguins at Penneshaw on their nightly parade from the sea to their cozy burrows.

Excellent stay. Beautiful home and view to the ocean from the large outdoor deck with a great table for meals in the evening. Host was responsive to questions. We would stay again if in the area!
Absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home! The views were simply breathtaking, waking up to nature each day was a dream. We spotted wallabies, birds and kangaroos right from the balcony, which added such a magical touch. It was the perfect setting to create unforgettable memories with our family. Peaceful, cozy, and full of all the home comforts already dreaming of coming back!
The house is beautiful and very comfortable. As a bonus, we saw small kangaroos hopping around at dusk and dawn from the house's deck. Please drive safely and slowly on KI -- particularly at dusk/dawn -- to help protect this wonderful place. Thanks for a great stay!
Me and my family really enjoyed our stay on KI. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. The view is amazing! The kitchen is well equipped. We had everything we needed to cook for Christmas. Everything was perfect!

Beautiful house with a well equipped kitchen. Made a trip with the family easy and comfortable. Location fantastic and we all enjoyed the bird life and furry visitors.
Such an amazing place to stay with panoramic views. Loved the wildlife visiting us during the stay. The property has everything you need and is very relaxing. Looking forward to visiting again.
From the moment we opened the front door we were all squealing with delight. The house is well equipped and has the most beautiful views. This was our second stay on the Island and we chose to stay close to the house this time to enjoy the home and have R&R. Thank you for sharing this delight with us.
Beautiful house, extremely well kitted out and very clean with comfortable beds. Great private location, close to wildlife and sights, highly recommend this property.
This house had me at hello. One step onto the deck overlooking the bush and the water and I knew I didn’t want to leave. There’s a lovely walk to the bay and wonderful quietness. The house is very modern and comfortable with everything we need and we were delighted with the great tips.kangaroo island is a dream and I can’t wait to visit again.
Had a great experience staying here. The host were very welcoming and helpful. The property was very clean and well maintained. Had a deck overlooking a beautiful scenery. Loved staying here.
This was a fantastic place to stay. It had an amazing view and also had the best equipped kitchen I have ever seen in any holiday house accommodation I have stayed in. It was very clean and it was convenient to so may attractions.
We loved staying here! Perfect location for time out and for finishing our two week holiday - next time we plan to stay here longer. It was peaceful and had everything we needed. Wonderful to have the close up experience of a few friendly wallabies visit. Joan and Steve’s is a must stay place when visiting the island.
