Yael provided excellent, thorough guidance prior to our stay and Lina met us on site to provide further assistance with warmth and thoughtfulness. The retreat is near Flinders Chase National Park and a number of animal sanctuaries, all well worth a visit. We loved our visit to Ecopia Retreat! "

Would highly recommend but I would advise, fill up with fuel if driving in Kingscote as well as food as this place is 45 kilometres from there and this is the only place close for fuel and provisions. There are steps to th fabulous beach, and incredible sunsets to sit n the terrace and watch. We did have to clean out the jacuzzi though - but this once done was overlooking the beach and fabulous views."

We had a wallaby and her joey feed around the cabin which was lovely. Easy walk to the beach to enjoy either the beautiful beach or to enjoy some fishing. The bed was comfy but the couches could do with an update. We were lucky enough to not have anyone else in the other cabin as there is not enough separation or privacy if there was someone else there. Overall a wonderful stay but is starting to feel in need of a little TLC. "

We love the smart TV that allows us to logon to our Netflix account. The kitchen has everything we need for cooking our breakfast. Very happy with the stay."

- "Over about a week we stayed in a luxury tent and an ocean front villa. Both were clean and well equipped. Wifi wasn’t the best. The luxury tent had a very small kitchenette and of course didn’t have great insulation so when the sun came out the walls got warm. When it was windy the tent flapped around a bit. The villa was excellent. Spacious with everything you need and parking right by the door. There’s a private balcony but it had a privacy wall blocking any view while seated. Location is a few steps from the ferry terminal, IGA supermarket, pub and more. Recommended for a quiet place to stay."

Wake up to the sound of the waves in your own private eco retreat with direct access to Pennington Bay, one of the most spectacular beaches on Kangaroo Island. Whether you are a surfer, fisher, or just enjoy walking on pristine white sand, Pennington Bay is one of the hidden gems of Kangaroo Island.
Conveniently located a 20 minutes drive from both the ferry terminal and airport, the beach house is situated in over 50 acres of privately owned, pristine, heritage coastline land and provides you with absolute seclusion. You will think you are the only people on the island, yet a short walk through your own private sand dunes from the beach house and you arrive at the beach.
Accommodation comprises two spacious double bedrooms, one bathroom, well equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge. Please note, the bathroom is accessed through bedroom 2.
Our configuration is such that we are most suited to couples, families and lone travellers. We can only accommodate a maximum of 4 adults.
The property is fully "off-grid" with a combination of solar with back up battery power.
Please note there is an outside BBQ, and inside cook top/hob although no oven.
Food platters can be arranged either for your arrival, or during your visit with two weeks' notice.

All we could possibly have needed or wanted was on hand, including the beautiful beach and wildlife, woodfire and a great array of books. Oh, and the silence and privacy too.

THE PROPERTY
Still Windy is situated on a 100 Ha bush block with large stands of remnant vegetation including sugar gum woodlands and yacca grasslands. White Tree Creek meanders through the middle of the property and provides a delightful guide to follow for bush walks or secluded picnics.
Native wildlife abounds on the property and it is common to see kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, wedge-tailed eagles and goannas.
The more dedicated nature lover may also see stone curlews, pygmy possums, boobook owls and glossy-black cockatoos. In Spring time there are abundant wildflowers and native orchids throughout the valley.
There are at least two nesting Glossy-black cockatoos on the property and we have an ongoing re-vegetation program designed to provide shelter and forage trees for these critically endangered birds.
At nearby Snelling Beach you may see dolphins, sea eagles, hooded plovers and the occasional fur seal.
If you'd like to help us keep track of local rainfall you can read the rain gauge and enter it into the Visitor book.
DOG FRIENDLY CONDITIONS OF STAY
Dogs are very welcome at Still Windy, both outside and inside the house, and there are a few things for guests to note.
We charge an extra $25 per stay for guests bringing dogs.
The house and the property are not fenced in a way that will prevent dogs from running away or travelling onto other properties and our neighbours with chickens or livestock will not appreciate a visit from an unknown dog.
It is therefore the responsibility of the guest to ensure the safety and well being of their dog at all times and for the dog to always be under effective control.
Dogs must be left outside if guests leave the property without them and a shaded enclosure is provided which may be easily moved around to a suitable location.
Guests are welcome to walk their dogs anywhere within the property boundaries but need to be aware they may encounter snakes or large kangaroos. Kangaroo Island Council requires dogs to be on leads at all times when on the beach.
When inside the house dogs must remain at floor level at all times. Please bring dog bedding but note that bowls for food and water are supplied.
We appreciate your cooperation and welcome you and your best friend to Still Windy.
LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
The north coast is more sheltered than the south and provides ample opportunities for water-based activities like swimming, surfing, snorkelling, diving, beach-walking and fishing in the local marine parks. Still Windy is also the perfect base for exploring the iconic Flinders Chase National Park and the Seal Bay Conservation Park.

D'Estrees Bay
D'Estrees Bay Kangaroo Island South Australia
Located on the southern side of Kangaroo Island. D'Estrees Bay is an unspoilt natural paradise. Natural bushland meets long stretches of beach with firm sand, ideal for a leisurely stroll. The beaches are perfect for swimming, diving and surfing.
D'Estrees Bay is renowned for a former whaling station, the elusive paper Nautilus shell, and ship wrecks (rumour has it that gold treasure is somewhere in the bay). Birdwatchers will not be disappointed as the Western Whipbird is a local and Murray's Lagoon is a nearby bird Mecca. The start of Cape Gantheaume coastal trek is at D'Estrees Bay leading into Cape Gantheaume Wilderness

Kangaroo Island at its pristine best: private beach below the retreat (restricted access through private farmland – local landowners have access), spectacular views and walks, rare bird-watching, wallabies and kangaroos visiting the house in the evenings, modern, eco-friendly accommodation.
The owners, John and Hester, have walked all over the world and consider this among the beautiful places they know, which is why they bought it. ‘Postcards: A Few of Our Favourites’ had this to say:
'Many of us would like to find a holiday retreat on the edge of the world, far removed from the daily whirl...This idyllic spot can only be reached by private road through adjacent farmland, the idea that when you get here you'll be alone to enjoy stunning views of the rugged coastline, sea and sky. From the cliff-top you can see Cape Borda in the distance, the north-western tip of the island and Cape Torrens. Down below is De Mole Beach, where the De Mole River meets its end. It's a photographer's paradise - the coastal scrub ventures right to the edge of the cliffs....At Cape Forbin, you can have the beach to yourself. For most of the year the beach remains intact, except in winter when wild storms wash much of it away...'
None of that has changed although the retreat itself has been significantly upgraded. It offers:
- modern, high quality accommodation for six (two bedrooms, one a large loft with partition)
- free broadband satellite and Wi-Fi internet
- Wi-Fi calling
- satellite TV
- modern kitchen and facilities
- solar power with back-up generator (you may need to operate generator manually)
And most importantly:
- isolation and privacy (access to area restricted to local landowners) in stunning natural surroundings
- your own, usually private, usually safe, swimming beach later in summer
- creek below, with huge natural pool running up from the beach for 200 metres
- fishing off both the beach and rocks
- superb bushwalking and spectacular views along the highest cliffs in South Australia, with wild coastline on either side
- for birdwatchers, often from the front porch, the endangered glossy black cockatoo, the magnificent and also locally-endangered white-bellied sea eagle, osprey, wedge-tailed eagle, blue wren, scarlet robin and many others
- wallabies and kangaroos visiting in the evenings, goanna, echidna, brush-tailed possums...
A little over an hour from Kingscote airport, bordering on Cape Torrens Wilderness Reserve, it is on the far north western side of the Island towards Cape Borda. It is also a good base for visiting Admirals Arch and Remarkable Rocks in Flinders' Chase and Vivonne Bay.
In winter by the pot-bellied stove/fireplace watch the storms push in over Investigator Strait. On clear nights, isolated from city lights and overlooking the sea, you can enjoy excellent star-watching, either with binoculars or the old Russian 4.5 inch telescope provided. In summer, swim, fish, walk and enjoy the incomparable sunsets with the visiting wallabies.
(Please note: first, the De Mole river mouth is usually completely private, but not always – local landowners or their guests have access and occasionally drive past the retreat down the hillside, and there are neighbouring owners, even though they rarely come out there; second, the last 17 km of road is unsurfaced – whilst generally kept in good condition, it can be slippery after extended winter rains, even though none of our guests have ever had any difficulty in getting through even without a 4x4 (which, although not essential, we would recommend in winter); third, while there is a dishwasher, there is no washing machine or microwave given our reliance on solar power; fourth, during high electricity use and in cold, overcast conditions, you may have to manually operate a backup petrol generator – simple, illustrated instructions as to what buttons to press provided; fifth, in winter a mouse might occasionally find its way into the warmth – humane mousetrap provided; sixth, the sandy beach washes away in winter and sometimes only comes back later in summer; finally, this not the Ritz-Carlton – that is not the point of the place.)
- "A lovely space to just exhale and relax...we enjoyed our time thoroughly! Thank you for sharing a part of the world that most people would never get to experience...we feel very privileged. Such a welcoming house (beds upstairs were super comfy!) and very friendly hosts with great communication (informative and quick responses), amazing views, fishing, bushwalks, surrounded by gorgeous animals and birdlife... Kangaroo Island showing off what it does best!"

The deck overlooks a small valley which is home to many native birds as well as the wallabies. Relaxing outside you will often see the blue wrens chasing insects or a vibrant robin in the trees.
As property owners we have been providing quality self contained accommodation in Island Beach since 2006. We are fully accredited by the South Australian Tourism Industry Council and pride ourselves on the high quality of our service and maintenance. We make every endeavour to ensure our guests have a great experience while staying at the Island Beach Escape properties - Nautilus, Cassini & Beachcomber.
- "Well appointed property with all you need for a comfortable stay. Easy access to a beautiful beach you can almost call your own. We didn’t share it with another soul. Even had a welcoming party from the local wildlife in the morning." - "Brooke and Fiona’s accommodation was absolutely perfect. Welcoming and spacious with everything we needed. The kitchen was wonderful and the beds exceptionally comfortable. The beach was a minute’s walk away, a gorgeous sprawling bay. Communication was excellent and the hosts were more than flexible and accommodating when our ferry to the mainland was cancelled. Highly recommended."
