It's the location that sets this property apart from other accommodation providers. The location is on the beach and you will see the penguins come in at around 9:30 pm and leave at 4:00 am. We were on the beach watching the two parental penguins...

I thought the location was perfect. The views were amazing, & the property had a secluded feel to it. Loved the addition of the penguins, which really made the stay special. Would definately stay again.

View is exactly as good as pictured. Distance to beach is exactly as listed. Emu Bay is stunning. Shallow calm waters. Penguins nest underneath deck. We got lucky as a Koala wandered through and spent a long time drinking from water bowls right...

Property info

A fully renovated one bedroom beach house set on the dunes at majestic Emu Bay. Only a few steps and you are on the pristine white sands where you can enjoy a beach walk, swim or try your luck at fishing. Rumah Pantai is set amongst native vegetation and is home to penguins, assorted bird life, goannas and the occasional koala. The outdoor deck is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beach activities during the day or enjoy the moonlight reflecting over the water by night.

Neighborhood info

One of only a few absolute beachfront properties at Emu Bay "Rumah Pantai" ( beach house in Indonesian ) is the last standing example of the original Beach Shacks built by the Farmers on Kangaroo Island over 50 years ago. Fully renovated it has been designed to encompass it's natural surroundings and create tranquility much as is found in Bali. Nestled in the trees the house is protected from wind most times and the views are of sea, beach and bush. Penguins nest under the front deck, birds are attracted by the bird bath and surrounding vegetation and a goanna lives close by and visits ( they are not timid but will not attack you! ) The occasional koala will camp out for a night in either the back or front trees. Echidnas dig around, especially in Autumn and Winter, in the surrounding bush land. The private rock path through the trees allows direct access to the 5 km long beach which is ideal for long walks. People also drive their cars up the beach to find their own private area for swimming or picnics. The jetty and boat ramp has its group of resident pelicans. Fishing off the jetty or beach are popular activities. There is a children's playground close by.
