Is a holiday rental in Kangaroo Island worth it?

A holiday apartment in Kangaroo Island offers you the perfect combination of independence and comfort. Enjoy Dreamy beaches, Impressive nature, Family-friendly environment, First-class relaxation and experience Kangaroo Island like a local – with your own retreat after an action-packed day.

Kangaroo Island off the southern coast of Australia is a miniature nature paradise: on an area about half the size of Mallorca, an astonishing variety of wildlife and landscapes is concentrated — from untouched eucalyptus forests to dramatic coastal cliffs and white sandy beaches where sea lions and kangaroos share the shore.

The island is especially known for its incredible wildlife: koalas sit in the eucalyptus trees at Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary so numerous and low that they can be observed from the path. At Seal Bay, Australian sea lions rest right on the beach, and guided tours bring visitors within a few meters of the dozing animals. Kangaroos and wallabies are ubiquitous, echidnas waddle through the underbrush, and at dusk, you can watch penguins on the beach.

Flinders Chase National Park at the western tip of the island is home to some of Australia's most impressive natural formations: the Remarkable Rocks — giant granite boulders sculpted by wind and weather on a cliff above the Southern Ocean — look as if created by a surrealist sculptor. The nearby Admirals Arch, a natural rock arch under which a colony of New Zealand fur seals frolics, is also a highlight.

After the devastating bushfires of 2020, which ravaged much of the island, Kangaroo Island has remarkably recovered. Nature is regenerating, wildlife populations are growing again, and the island's residents have admirably rebuilt their businesses with resilience. A visit directly supports this recovery — and the island is more beautiful and greener than ever before.
