"The people from Sunset Retreat give you a very welcome feeling. The accomodation is very good and there are a lot of facilities you can use. Great place to stay when you visit Kangaroo Island."
Guest rating: 4/5  - Moniek, NOORD-HOLLAND - November 09

" Excellent accommodation very clean, bright and airy and well equiped. Good welcome and very helpful service. Like home away from home."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Basil, VICTORIA - September 09

"Our stay in Sunset Retreat was great! It is located very near to the ferry terminal, walking distance to the Penguin Centre (which is a plus cos you really don't want to drive when it's dark). Walking distance to food, fuel, supermarket which provided lotsa convenience too.
An amazing sunset view from our room that we decided to do take out so that we can watch the sunset while having dinner. A very well-kept place, clean and cosy. And well-equipped too! Gail and Rob (owners) also gave us complete privacy which we really appreciate.
We would totally recommend Sunset Retreat. The only downside is that Penneshaw is not that ideal as a base because of its proximity from everywhere else."

"A beautifully presented and extremely comfortable home-style accommodation within easy walk of Penneshaw town centre. Gail is also very welcoming and helpful in being able to suggest possible excursions in the area."

"Quality of accommodation far exceeded our expectations.Extremely good value, real value for money. Everything was so clean and of such a high standard. A very good experience, a pity we only stayed 1 night."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Mike, NEW ZEALAND - September 08

"We were delighted to find the accommodation exactly as described in the website, often places are not. Rob and Gail are very friendly and welcoming, they have good Internet based service and we would be happy to go back again. Kangaroo Island is now a very tourist friendly place. Colin and Vicki, SA"

"The accommodation was excellent - spacious, immaculate and comfortable. It was very reasonably priced and the hosts were both accommodating and discreet. Had we been staying longer we would have taken up their kind offer to borrow fishing gear! "
Guest rating: 5/5  - Beth, NSW - January 08

"This was a fabulous place to stay and most reasonable. It could not have been better. The day we left we were going to the beach and the wonderful owners lent us towels to use for that occasional."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Joan, CALIFORNIA - January 08

"Our accommodation was very clean and nicely presented. Our hosts were very helpful and kept to themselves. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Hopefully we will return again one day."
Guest rating: 4/5  - Greg, VICTORIA - January 08

"Accomodation was lovely. very clean and very spacious. we had everything we needed as well as a lovely view over Christmas cove.
The owners were very nice and helpful with good tips on what to see and where we could eat. Location was also great - an easy 10 minute walk into the town and down to the Penguin tour/beach! and within 5 minutes of the ferry terminal. although it was one of the more expensive B&B style places we stayed in, for Kangeroo Island it was quite reasonable and we thought that Sunset Retreat offered very good value for money."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Rebecca, LONDON - November 07

"My husband and I felt so homely far away from our home. There was nothing we missed. The quality of the accommodation was very good, so many lovely accessoires. We only regret, that we couldn`t stay longer. But next time ..."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Kerstin, LOWER SAXONY - October 07

"Sunset retreat felt like a home away from home. It was the best value in accommodation in the 5 week period we had away. The owners were friendly, put themselves out for us (our plane was delayed)and added many extra touches not found elsewhere (music, books, dvd's, a kitchen starter). We'd go back there tomorrow!"
Guest rating: 5/5  - Susan, QLD - August 07

"We thought that 'Sunset Retreat' was first rate; all that one needs for a stay on Kangaroo Island was provided. Handy to all the amenities needed."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Heather, QLD - April 07

"I have already written to Gail and told here what a wonderful accommodation she has. Nothing was overlooked and we really enjoyed our brief stay on the Island."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Frank, NSW - April 07

"Our stay at sunset retreat was wonderful. We enjoyed every minute of it. It was very well set out, comfortable and very private. Our host were very accomodating and lovely to chat to. I highly recomend a stay there and will definately go again some day."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Jo, SOUTH AUSTRALIA - January 07

"The accommodation was very clean and of good quality, The facility was quiet and the owners polite and helpful. The range of Wilbur Smith books was extensive."
Guest rating: 4/5  - Jeff & Julie, SA - October 06

"The photos do not do the accommodation justice. The rooms are spotless, there is a lovely big bath (very rare in Australia) and separate shower, lovely view of the sea, full guide details of the island. It was home from home, we both were so relaxed and wished we had planned longer to stay at the Sunset Retreat."
Guest rating: 5/5  - David, STAFFS - October 06
