We’ve got two incredible holiday homes in Kangaroo Island, South Australia, that we know you’re going to want to stay in, especially if you’re travelling with family or as a group of friends!⠀
⠀
Introducing the newest addition to our Little Black Book of Surprises, a holiday destination in Emu Bay featuring two stunning holiday homes that exude charm, personality and modern luxury.⠀
⠀
Excitingly, the two gorgeous holiday homes have an individual flair, meaning they are entirely different from one another apart from the fact that they both look like they’ve fallen out of Vogue Living magazine!⠀
⠀
One is a delightful 1960’s beach house restored so as not to disturb the heritage of its original design yet embodies a strikingly modern space overlooking the beach.⠀
⠀
The other is an architecturally designed holiday home with panoramic beach and bush views, light-filled large windows and bespoke furniture with more personality than Kevin Hart!⠀
It’s the type of home you’d expect Leonardo Dicaprio to stay in; it’s that memorable.⠀
⠀
That’s not all, though; this destination is home to dolphins, koalas, wallabies, penguins, echidnas and goannas, all of whom you’re likely to encounter during your stay.⠀
⠀
If you’re keen on activities, Kangaroo Island offers some of the best! Expect swimming with dolphins, boating, paddle boarding, and a visit to Seal Bay, home to hundreds of cute adult and baby seals.⠀
⠀
Swipe across to see both of these beautiful holiday destinations!
