    The Rusty Kangaroo is a fabulous place to stay. Location ( once you find it!) is stunning. Kangaroos roam freely around the house and you could spend hours just sitting on the verandah looking out at sea. Ian and Sylvia go above and beyond to...

Ian and Sylvia
Kangaroo Island is famous for it's natural rural beauty. Create a memory at this unique premium rural retreat for two, 5 min from the beach. Spectacular sunsets, ocean views across the bay and an abundance of wildlife. Our property is 100 acres of native wilderness and is eco friendly, it relies on rain water and septic, so conservation of resources is important. Easy access, 300 mt in from the main island road. The property is the perfect combination of comfort and design with attention to detail. Modern with an ecclectic collection of decor from our travels afar. Relax, rejuvenate, renew and enjoy.
Welcome to our happy place. We live on the property and we are experienced world travellers that bring a unique personalised service to our guests. Sylvia is a qualified tour guide and specialises in Kangaroo Island Itineraries, bookings and local information with 5 star reviews. As our guest, you will receive a 2 day free itinerary plan. Let us transform your vacation into an experience. (Our story) The evolution of the Rusty Kangaroo As a couple, we have travelled the world and seen many beautiful places and beaches. We decided on a family holiday to KI on a whim. That was 20 years ago Within 4 days we bought a property of 100 acres of native wilderness …. and we are not spontaneous people. We fell in love with the tranquillity, the wildlife and the pristine beaches. And what is even crazier… we bought the old Pennshaw dump! People today often comment that it is one of the best views on the island. We have turned a lemon into a lemonade. Oh, by the way, the dump is long gone! We have personally built our home from the ground up with many years of blood, sweat and tears. Our goal was to build our home with as much up-cycled material as possible that is nothing like suburbia. This was our contribution to the environment in having a low carbon footprint.
Uniquely positioned for privacy and tranquility, only 6.4km from Penneshaw, a pristine beach side town with a restaraunt, pub, pizza bar, cafes, wineries, supermarket, post office, chemist, petrol station, and the ferry service.
