Property info

Each unit at Emu Bay Holiday Homes offers breathtaking sea views. You can select from staying in a rustic cabin, a cottage with one or two bedrooms, one of the three houses, or an apartment. Everything you need for a relaxing vacation is supplied, including all linen, bath towels, a kitchen or kitchenette, a private bathroom, free parking and Wi-Fi, so you can sit back and relax. We are quite proud of and like helping guests find our resident koalas, as well as looking for echidnas and kangaroos. It's amazing to watch the stars at night, and you can easily walk to the lovely safe swimming beach. The main township, Kingscote, is an easy 15 minute drive away.

Neighborhood info

Emu Bay has a beautiful long white beach and many guests enjoy the 8 km walk to the end and back, often seeing some dolphins along the way. There is an abundance of bird and wild life on the property and guests love the peace and tranquility they experience at Emu Bay Holiday Homes. The units are all very well spaced so you feel like you are on your own and away from it all, yet Emu Bay is centrally located for sightseeing across the island and a short 15 minute drive from Kingscote, the main township. Some must see attractions include Flinders Chase National park with Admirals Arch, Remarkable Rocks and Seal Bay. Spectacular beaches include Emu Bay, Stokes Bay and Snellings Beach on the North Coast and Vivonne Bay, Hanson Bay, Seal Bay and Pennington Bay on the South Coast. Wineries that are a must visit is Dudley Wines, False Cape Wines, The Islander Estate, Springs Road Winery and Bay of Shoals Wines. Don't miss out on a beekeeping experience at KI Living Honey. Swim with the dolphins and enjoy a special meal at The Odd Plate in Kingscote.
