Holiday Home Rental
Self-catered accommodation on Kangaroo Island
Serenity Cottage – one of the quaintest cottages in the peaceful hamlet of Vivonne Bay, certainly lives up to its name! This elevated Western Red Cedar cottage provides a tree-top hideaway nestled amongst eucalypt trees and native coastal scrub and is located only 450m from the beach voted "Australia's best!"
Just a five minute st
roll to the crystal clear, turquoise waters of Vivonne Bay and it's stunning, long, white, sandy beach – a superb site for picnics, beachcombing, surfing, fishing or just taking a stroll along the beach or esplanade to take in the majestic scenery. Fishing from the jetty, beach, boat or nearby Harriet River mouth is excellent. Serenity Cottage is centrally located to the Island's major natural attractions - Seal Bay, Little Sahara, Kelly Hill Caves, Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch - and about an hour and a quarter's drive from anywhere on the island. The one bedroom renovated cottage provides a relaxed environment - ideal for a romantic getaway, a private retreat for one, or two close friends/family members travelling together. The cosy bedroom has a queen size bed, with comfortable quilts and an electric blanket for the cooler season. Serenity Cottage has a light filled, open plan kitchen/dining/living area with high cathedral ceilings and north-facing picture windows all around that draw the peaceful ambience inside. A large, curved, stone-wall deck extends off the living area with easy access via french doors. This elevated, tree-top alfresco area offers an alternative place to sit, eat or relax. The front verandah overlooks the garden and provides another spot to sit and enjoy the peaceful ambience. There is plenty of bird life to watch and opportunities to spot possums & wallabies in the garden – especially at dusk. The distinctive grey building with red front door and dry stone walling is quite unique. The cottage has recently been lovingly renovated with lots of quirky touches that add charm and immediate appeal. The contemporary and fully equipped kitchen provides amble cupboard space, a full size fridge/freezer, oven/grill, cooktop – and all the cutlery, crockery, baking and cookware you could possibly need for a self-catering holiday. Opposite the bedroom is a combined bathroom/shower/laundry. The toilet is located at the rear of the building. Although TV reception, internet and mobile phone coverage can be patchy on Kangaroo Island, Serenity provides a large TV with free-to-air reception. Telstra mobile phones may receive some coverage at Serenity Cottage although other phone carriers may not have reception. A radio/CD player is also available. The nearby Vivonne Bay General Store & Bottle Shop is very handy for top-up groceries, meals, alcohol and petrol. The General Store is also a hire shop for toboggans and boards to use at nearby Little Sahara. Vivonne Bay is an ideal central location to explore Kangaroo Island's South Coast attractions.
