My mum and I are absolutely loving this accommodation. We were welcomed with a personalised sign, the accomodation was very clean, there is everything you could need, even a pack of cards. It is also decorated in a cute, quirky way. Also, we accidently locked ourselves out and Don were only to happy to help, coming immediately to our aid. Very impressed and hope to return again soon.

Love Reggie's Cottage!

Char had provided so much information about everything to do on KI.  The cottage was filled with all that was necessary for a stay including extras.  Very comfortable. Great view.  Our wee dog was made welcome too. Thank you Char and staff.

Everything was there.

We couldn’t really fault this lovely place. I spoke with the lovely Char before we booked to ask which of her cottages took children AND a dog. We stayed in Clarice’s cottage which, we found out on the last evening when we arranged a catchup, is right next to her own home.
From the welcome sign to all the amenities listed, we had the most enjoyable time. A great base from which to commute to all points of KI.

Stayed with two grandchildren and small dog

Karls retreat was a very comfortable unit and although not a new unit everything in the unit was great.Very comfortable bed and washing machine and Dryer were brilliant Definitely would come again Kangaroo Island is a beautiful Island that is coming alive after there horrific bush fires 12 months ago

Holiday at Karls Retreat Kingscote Kangaroo Island

We got a package through a travel auction and this little place has everything you could want. We stayed in the Jenna unit.

Fully equipment kitchen with everything you could need including good sharp knives.

The bed is really comfortable, the shower pressure is fantastic and the fact we had a laundry in the bathroom including drier. Extremely convenient.

Comfortable and clean 

I stayed in one of the units run by Kangaroo Island Accomodation for 4 nights while working with Red Cross Emergency Services. It was clean and very comfortable. Decor was dated, 60s style but that didn’t matter. The weather was hot and humid so a fan in the bedroom would have been good as the aircon in the living area didn’t move around the corner. 

Clean and comfortable

Had Clarice's Cottage to ourselves and it is basically a full 2 bedroom home with all the items you need for a good break. I cooked on the BBQ some nights & we ate out on others during our 5 night stay as I was trying to give the missus a break as well ! Had a local flock of seagulls at our doorstep for the whole stay, very friendly bunch & not a nuisance. The place is very quiet, well set up, comfortable & ticks all the boxes. You can easily stroll into town (Kingscote) but a car is required for the rest. Found it to be a perfect base to explore KI and can highly recommend . Didn't get to meet Char but she runs a tight ship !!

Great Value & a Great Stay

It's nice to be greeted at Jenna's Retreat with a personal John and Judy welcome "card" in the window . Inside was clean and comfortable everything needed for a self contained unit, cooking utensils, comfy bed (after a day's touring) comfortable lounge and ample storage in the wardrobe. Char does a great job making sure her guests are looked after, she even rang up to see if we needed anything. Char's units arre close to all amenities, Caltex S/S, supermarket, pubs, eateries and the main street of Kingscote. We would recommend Char's accommodation if you are staying in Kingscote Kangaroo Island.  .

Char's Comfortable Cottage

I like surprises especially when expectations are not very high.  To put this into perspective I booked this accommodation through a Travel Auction listing and “won”.  I then looked up the accommodation and location on Google Maps to see what I had won and my first impression was not good compared to the many alternative accommodation available on the Island, impressions can be deceiving!  Now fast forward to the day of arrival.  Having visited K.I. before and knowing the limited choices of places to eat out (there is a limit to how many schnitzels one can eat) we packed the car with enough food for our 4 day visit and looked forward to our trip.  It doesn’t matter how many times you visit K.I. there is always something different to see.  Getting to the accommodation was as simple as, just before the Caltex station in Kingscote turn right into Cygnet Street and less than 100 metres down on the right is the unit.  It is exactly as per the Google Maps image but that is where everything changes.  The fact the building is old is undeniable but Char, the owner, has done an incredible job inside to ensure every amenity is available.  We stayed in Vonny’s Rest and there was a lovely notice in the window welcoming us, a nice touch.  Inside the main room was a combined lounge, dining room and kitchen.  Off the main room at the front was a large bedroom with a king size bed, which was very comfortable and a large wardrobe as well as a flat screen TV, alarm clock and usual things to make the bedroom very comfortable.  The second bedroom located behind the main bedroom and also accessed from the main room was spacious and provided sleeping for another five people with a configuration of bunk beds and another double bed, ideal for all your kids.  This, again was comfortably furnished with modern bed linen and duvets.  At the back is a large laundry equipped with a washing machine and dryer.  Incorporated within the laundry is the newly tiled and glass screened shower, a new vanity basin and hair dryer.  Access to the toilet is from the laundry.  This is a very spacious unit and somewhere you could comfortably spend a week or more without concern.  Add to the spaciousness of this unit are all the extras Char has added, read cooking utensils, pot's pans, toasters, right down to salt and pepper in grinders all intended to provide a "Home from home" feel.  In the main room is a good size TV, there is a fridge freezer, microwave and reverse cycle air conditioning for your comfort.  Outside, at the front is a table and chairs to sit and watch the (very slow) world of Kingscote go by and if your concerned about safety of your kids, not that you should worry here, there is access to the back garden for them to play in.  Being the beginning of winter we didn't use these facilities but I imagine in warmer seasons this would be wonderful to relax and enjoy. You could not surpass this for value for money, it's not the "Ritz" and it's not advertised as such, however, as aforementioned, there are limited places to eat (out of season) in Kingscote so to be able to cook your own meals in comfort is an absolute bonus, you'll save yourself a lot of money that you can spend elsewhere enjoying the Island.  However, within less than 100 meters of this accommodation is the very popular fish shop that sells both cooked fish and chips and also wet fish to cook yourself.  This business was the busiest restaurant in Kingscote on each of the four nights we stayed.  We went for a walk each night around Kingscote (maximum half hour, that's if we stopped to view something) This accommodation is so close and convenient to Kingscote, access to shops, the main road to wherever and Char even popped in to see us on our first day to ensure everything was to our liking, not many operators are prepared to do that for fear of criticism.  Char had nothing to worry about because as far as I could see she is very conscientious about her business and puts a lot of effort into assuring her guests are very comfortable. I strongly recommend this accommodation, don't waste money on glitz, be practical and do a bit of self catering, save yourself heaps and enjoy other attractions on the Island.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE - You'll be very pleasantly surprised

Everything supplied to help us enjoy our holiday. Even things we would never have expected were provided in the welcome pack. To arrive with the key in the door and a personalised note in the window bode well for a positive experience.
