Great location. Loved the amenities, truly appreciated. Kids games. Stunning view. Great kitchen with everything we needed. Comfy beds and pillows. Great to have a fire and wood. Heater worked great, nice showers/bathroom. Again thank you for the amenities. Thank you for thinking of everything so nice to turn up and not need a million things at the shop for our stay. We will stay again!
Living room was great with a stunging seaview. Kitchen utensils were well maintain and I was surprised by the number of boxes of board games provided as well as the table tennis table. Towels and bedsheets were clean and there are lots of space in the whole house. Will definitely introduce my friends to this property.
We loved the beautiful views, the location was excellent, within walking distance to cafes and other places to eat, short walk to beach.

Gem of a house!
I booked Baudin House for a weekend getaway with friends for our first trip to KI. The house was amazing! The pictures were exactly as the house was. The view of Penneshaw and the Bay was perfect. It rained all weekend but we didn't care as the wood fire kept us cosy and warm. We can't wait to come back and will definitely book Baudin House again. Betty was a lovely lady who made sure everything was perfect for us. We can't wait to see her again also!

Great location, with everything you could need set up in the house. Even wood supplied for the fire
Walking distance to the beach, trails and eateries
Fantastic place to stay, clean, comfortable, well equipped and spacious. Can sit and relax with a drink or two on the large verandah or in the family room and look at the beautiful view over the water. Would definitely stay here again.
Perfect base for exploring east end of Kangaroo Is
3 of us stayed at Baudin House for 2 nights at the end of a wonderful trip to Kangaroo Island. It was the perfect place to stay with everything we could possibly have needed and plenty of space. Betty and Michael were on hand if we wanted anything and they gave us a few recommendations of places to go. It was a great base from which to get around the eastern part of the island and just minutes to the ferry terminal. Happy to recommend and would stay again.
