Waves and wildlife boasts everything you imagine Kangaroo Island to be.

Enjoy swimming in the safe rock pool, surf or body surf in the waves or sun bathe all on one beautiful white sandy beach in front you.

Experience the fishing either off the beach or use the boat ramp to launch into the deep waters to go for the big ones or local crayfish.

Feel yourself amongst the wild guaranteed abundant kangaroos and wallabies every dusk and morning and occasional dolphin pods, wedge tail eagles, glossy blacks cockatoos, koalas, goannas, echidnas and more.

Simply relax in the cottages or take advantage of the huge balcony each cottage has and enjoy the serenity, sunsets, sunrises and ocean breezes.

Base yourself comfortably as this is a very central location to all other attractions on the island.

Our first ever customer emailed us with:

"...We were extremely happy with the cottage as you have them furnished fantastically with just about everything we could have wished for. Well I can't actually think of anything else you could have added. You have given a great deal of thought to what should be in the cottages to make for a happy and comfortable holiday.

The wildlife part was incredible, being able to lie in bed watching the kangaroos was a great experience..."

Locality

Bordering Waves and Wildlife is Stokes Bay beach which is one of South Australia's best beaches. This beach is accessed through a rock tunnel. Once you stroll onto this beach you will find immediately a natural rock pool which is safe swimming for children of all ages. The ocean next to the rockpool is ideal for surfing, body surfing and fishing.

Surrounding Waves and Wildlife are
-Lathami National Park
The neighbouring Lathami National Park is a breeding ground for the rare Glossy Black Cockatoo.
-Pauls Place
-Stokes Bay Bush Garden photo
-Rare Breeds Farm photo
-Other beautiful beaches including Snelling, Western River, Emu Bay and others.

Stokes Bay is a very central spot to visit all of Kangaroo Islands attractions such as
- Little Sahara
- Seal Bay
- Kelly Hill Caves
- Flinders Chase
- Admirals Arch
- Remarkable Rocks
- Island Pure Sheep Dairy
- Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery
- Island Beehive
- Cliffords Honey Farm
- A Maze "N"
- Fishing Charters

Property

The cottages are set on 80 acres behind the cliff directly surrounding Stokes Bay Beach with no roads in between.

Much of the property remains natural bush land which is home to large mobs of the Kangaroo Island Kangaroo which graze around the cottages every evening.

Behind the cottages we are developing a wetland to provide habitat for native duck species.

Other wildlife which can be found on the property includes koalas, echidnas, wallabies, goannas and a wide variety of bird species including eagles and the rare Glossy Black Cockatoo.

At the beach penguins, dolphin pods pass by and occasionally we spot a seal or two.
