Guest Testimonials

We're thrilled to share what our guests have to say about their experience at Sky House:

  • "Sky House is a must-stay location for the views alone! The Airbnb is just as advertised, private, clean, fully fitted to stay and comfy. You'll be looking over the ocean and some friendly kangaroos at your back door." - Tom, September 2022
  • "The most relaxed I've ever been. So beautiful. Timothy, July 2022
  • "An absolutely beautiful home with stunning views. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend. Great record collection!" - Meagan, July 2022

Getting Here

Kangaroo Island is much larger than people think, so we recommend you plan for a minimum of 3 days on the island to properly appreciate its food, wine, and wilderness. The island is around 140 km long (3.5 - 4 hr drive end to end), so we advise that you stock up with food supplies and petrol in Kingscote or Penneshaw before you head out to us.

Sealink operates daily ferries to take passengers and vehicles from Cape Jervis on the mainland to Penneshaw on Kangaroo Island. The ferry trip is approximately 45 minutes followed by a 90-minute drive to the Sky House. QantasLink is flying a short 35-minute one-way from Adelaide to Kingscote Airport on Kangaroo Island several times a week. It is then a 45-minute drive to the Sky House.
