Sails: Family-friendly, in the heart of town
Description
This fully renovated, family-friendly home is perfectly located on Kingscote’s main street — just a short stroll to grab your morning coffee, enjoy dinner, or wander home after a drink, yet far enough from the town centre to relax in peace. Walk to the scenic coastal trail, Tidal Pool, Yacht Club beach (great for kids), jetty & foreshore playground. The ideal base for your Kangaroo Island stay! The space Inside the Home Our spacious, fully renovated home is designed with families in mind. The kitchen is well equipped for self-catering — perfect when you’d prefer a relaxed meal in instead of dining out. It includes all the usual appliances you would expect as well as a Nespresso pod coffee machine, airfryer, slow cooker, sandwich press and Webber Q BBQ for outdoor cooking. The house sleeps up to six guests. Two bedrooms feature queen beds, while the kids’ room has a single bed with a trundle that can be made up on request. A port-a-cot is also available. Family-Friendly Comforts Traveling with little ones is easy here. You’ll find a high chair, stroller, foam play mat, toys, books, bath toys, bikes, beach toys, plastic crockery & cutlery, and silicone bibs. For the bigger kids (and grown-ups), we’ve stocked the buffet near the front door with plenty of board games. To keep things extra fun, we’ve also hidden animals around the house for a Kangaroo Island–themed scavenger hunt — the kids will be entertained for hours (you might even forget they’re there!). Explore Kingscote & Beyond Our location makes exploring simple. Kingscote offers pubs, restaurants, cafés, gift shops, supermarkets, and fuel, plus plenty of activities right on your doorstep. The island’s iconic attractions are also just a short drive away.
