Perched on the side of a hill this cosy contemporary beach house overlooks the trees and ocean of Emu Bay. The house is private on its 5acres but only 700m from the 4.5km long beach of Emu Bay.
The house is designed as a coastal retreat for its owners and has an intimate connection to its bush surroundings and nearby sea.
The location, the incredible views and the house provide for a perfect retreat, a holiday and a place for relaxation.
The living and outside areas are north facing with views of the sea and bush. One can experience this unique location from all rooms at any time of the day and throughout the seasons. The 4 m long daybed is perfect for reading a book, taking in the view or a nap.
The bedroom has a Queen-size bed with views over the trees to the ocean. It is equipped with a reverse cycle A/C.
The Kitchen and living area is a large open space with an adjoining deck. The stainless steel kitchen has a gas stove and electric oven, and all necessary utensils and cooking requirements.
For cooler days there is an open fire for heating the living area with firewood supplied.
A 4m long day bed at the end of the room looks out over the landscape to the water.
Emu Bay is a quiet coastal hamlet located on the northern side of KI. Its 4.5km long white sandy beach is accessible to vehicles and provides safe swimming. There is also a jetty and a boat ramp. Emu Bay has no shopping facilities.
Emu Bay to Kingscote is only 15 min along a bitumen road where you can find most facilities including supermarket, petrol station, post office, banks and tourist information.
The Sealink ferry arrives from Cape Jervis at Penneshaw. The distance from Penneshaw to Emu Bay is approximately 75km, all on bitumen.
Emu Bay is 15 min from the airport.
House on the hill serves as an ideal base for touring the Island due to its central location and its proximity to Kingscote

    Our hosts were super helpful and oncall when we needed them. The house was perfect, it suited our needs perfectly. The view was gorgeous, kitchen perfect for cooking. Beautifully styled and the window seats were amazing I really can’t fault it. I would definitely return.

    The place had a fantastic view and was blocked from the wind still. We saw plenty of wildlife in the property including kangaroos koalas and an echidna. It’s also just a walk to the beach.

    We loved our stay here. The view was amazing and very relaxing. We even had a special visit from a cuddly koala. I should have read the fine print because I had no internet service here, but that's on me.

    Surprising well equipped home with wonderful views across Emu Bay. The home had a inviting feel of a home away from home and was quiet and private. A fantastic place to relax and a delight to stay in. Thanks.
