An absolute waterfront restored cottage, surrounded by 100 acres of private property. Tastefully appointed, Ratcliff Cottage can comfortably sleep up to 8 guests.
Pelican Lagoon is an idea base to explore all Kangaroo Island has to offer. Ratcliff Cottage is located within easy access of the main road connecting Penneshaw (a 15 minute drive away) Kingscote (30 minutes away) and other parts of the Island. Island Beach and American River are both within a 10 minute drive.
