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. Climb Prospect Hill & view both sides of Kangaroo Island. Enjoy the fantastic fresh produce & seafood. Book a fishing charter to catch fresh fish. Taste the unique Ligurian Bee honey at Cliffords Honey Farm or The Island Beehive. Try some wine tasting at various cellar doors around the Island such as The Islander Estate, Dudley Wines & Bay of Shoals Winery. Sample the world acclaimed gin at Kangaroo Island Spirits - KIS! Discover the amazing art of the Island. Explore the rugged coastline. Book an 4WD Adventure Tour. Visit the natural wonders of Admirals Arch, Remarkable Rocks & the Kelly Hill Caves. Take a guided tour of Seal Bay Conservation Park or a marine tour to swim with the local dolphins. There is so much to do & see on KI!

Fantastic views in a modern house!

Amazing views and the wallabies visited each night. A wee bit hot while we were there; airconditioning would have made it perfect.

Pure Beauty

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!

Gorgeous home in a gorgeous spot

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!

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.
