Guest access Guests have access to the entire place but should avoid the storage shed out the back for general safety reasons. The paddles in or beside the house are for the watercraft sitting out the front at the rocky cove (a nice 5 minute walk through natural Sheoak forestation or wider 4WD path). You are welcome to use the watercraft, fishing gear, etc. but do so at your own risk (See liability waiver in Other Details to Note). Ocean experience required. If you have a 4WD you can drive down the wide path to the front. Before you drive off the cliff you'll see a turn to the left. Take that to an opening on the right with steps down. Only use watercraft on light or calm days. Watch the swell also as the coast can sometimes boast waves. Other things to note Nothing is perfect on KI. It's rural and remote. And that goes for Stokes Bay Cliffs. It is a house and a home first. Not a resort or corporation. Please forgive minor details that are out of our control (black-outs, etc.) We ask that you read and, by booking a stay, you accept this liability waiver for you and your guests. Stokes Bay Cliffs is not inherently a dangerous place but it is remote with unmanaged natural forest/shrub/bushland. There is no hospital or police station right around the corner. We ask that you and your guests use common sense that comes from being away from it all, in a rural natural setting and all that that implies.
