About this property

Aquamarine is a 3 bedroom house located just behind a dune, right next to a safe swimming beach. It is light, spacious and has plenty of room for larger families or groups. The master bedroom has a king size bed and own bathroom. A large capacity hot water service has been installed in 2024, so everybody can have a hot shower. The kitchen is well equipped and even has a dishwasher. The air conditioner has been replaced in February 2023 and now works perfectly.

Aquamarine is ideal for longer stays all year round. The house is well insulated, has heaters and electric blankets on all beds. The back verandah is quite big, overlooks the dune and has a gas BBQ as well as seating. The house has a pleasant green outlook but there is no sea view.

Beach access is immediately behind the house with no street between. The beach is great to explore, is fairly sheltered and there is great fishing from the rocks. There are extensive warm shallows for children to enjoy but also an easy access spot to deep water. You can expect to see a lot of wildlife and the sea is teeming with fish. At the same time, you would only be a short drive from the shops, making life considerably easier.

There is NBN broadband WiFi installed in the house and is free for the guests to use. One can even stream movies or play games if you bring your computer.

Well behaved pets may be permitted by individual arrangement but the garden is not fenced.

Location

Located on the North Coast of the fabulous Kangaroo Island, Baudin Beach is a small settlement of about 100 houses, 5 km East from Island Beach and 10 km West from Penneshaw ferry terminal. There is a good supermarket and several eateries at Penneshaw but no food is sold at Baudin Beach. The area is greener and less windy than the South coast of the island. The place is great for fishing and diving with a good boat ramp down the street. Sheltered waters of Eastern Cove are renown for plentiful King George Whiting. There is a gorgeous, safe and largely private beach just behind the house. The main highway leading to all the island attractions is only a couple of hundred meters away.

Sleeping configuration

The main bedroom has a king size bed and an ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom has a queen bed and the third has a king single and a bunk bed. There are now 3 new sofa beds in the living area, providing additional sleeping if necessary. There is also a full size cot available for a baby.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be close to Dudley Conservation Park. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the holiday home.

Aquamarine - the best house on Kangaroo Island
Baudin Beach is a highly romantic, secluded treasure of nature and Aquamarine has been my favourite accommodation - a comfortable, spacious house; very clean and well heated in cold weather; had everything anyone would need. The tranquility and charm of the spot was compounded with the helpful, friendly host. By far my most memorable stay on Kangaroo Island.

Staying at the Aquamarine was an idyllic beach holiday. Pop over the sand dune to a scenic stretch of white sandy beach, which we shared with a pelican each evening. The Aquamarine had all of the amenities and space we needed and was within the perfect driving distance to Penneshaw. A relaxing family beach holidsy.

Aquamarine At Baudin Beach
We went from a WOW on entry to the property to disapointment very quickly. We were warned the day before our arrival the the A/C was broken but a fan or 2 to replace it would have helped when it got hot in the house. there were many things that were not great, no sharp knives for meal prep, a broken toilet roll holder in the ensuite, only 1 tea towel for 3 people for 4 days, the pillow slips were not ironed made us wonder if the sheets were clean, much maintenance is required generally to this place. not a nice experience at all. I would never book this place again.

Not as advertised
The house is located behind the dune Inside the house was clean to some standard. I wouldn’t usually like to leave negative feedback but the owner was overly irresponsible and unfriendly ! Basically , the property doesn’t look as advertised !The property manager responded with“ what do you want me to Do ?” Or “your lucky as her place is the best place and only a miracle can help you to find another place as good as hers” this was her answer on a 40 degrees day when you asked why the “AC “ is not working as it’s advertised! She also came up with another brilliant solution “ take a walk to the beach “ or “ AC broke 3 days ago , would you really had cancelled your trip if I would have told you that “ at the end she gave us a refund for the “hot day “ - 40 degrees only AFTER we complained to STAYZ. Outside is not what you see as advertised either! It’s grossly disgusting , stink of cigarettes butts under the veranda! Under the house is covered with cardboard ! Perfect attraction for snakes or fire. Kitchen is full of random dirty dishes and pots ! Everything is on top of each other though good luck finding something in there! Overall is not worth the money !

Basic accomodation
It was basic, good if you wanna just sleep somewhere/have shower/access to the fridge. But if you’re looking for some comfort- this isn’t a place. Place has damaged fly screens and walls/ceilings are covered in squished mosquitos and shoes prints haha. Semi neat place- but good enough if you are planning to spend time adventuring and sightseeing than being inside- if you’re tight on budget it’s ok :) also, if you’re first timer in KI it’s close to the “city” and ferry.

Fantastic house at Baudin Beach
Our family from Canberra, including our kids and parents from Adelaide all loved our 3 night stay at Aquamarine - we all wish we could have stayed longer. The house is so close to the beautiful Baudin beach which is great for swimming, snorkelling and fishing. The house was well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay, including some extras for cooking which was great. The owner was so helpful in advance of our stay and quick to respond with any queries. We hope to return soon.

Great stay at Baudin Beach KI
Found the property in good shape and ready for our arrival, although the GPS dropped us four houses short in fading light, 15 minutes after the ferry ride to Penneshaw from SA. Cosy open plan house on limestone road frontage. All amenities provided worked well, and the kitchen well resourced. Daily travel around the Island to points of family interest was easy. Our eight days was just right for our adventures. Remember to book the car ferry through Sealink on the day you book your accommodation to get the ideal travel time for yourself-to and from the island as the locals and farm/construction fill most ferries. Allow two hours plus out of Adelaide city to Cape Jervis Ferry Terminal. The only issue with the house is previous tenants have torn the fly wire on the doors to unlock from the outside- kids I guess. Property owner Anna was very helpful with several phone or text contacts from time of booking to vacating the house. Beach access is over a large vegetated sand dune using stairway. Accommodation recommended. Gerry - Fremantle WA

Peaceful location comfortable home
Baudin beach is a peaceful group of houses with boat ramp, small bike track, fishing and rock exploring, sand dunes and beautiful sunsets. There is not much else to do here but well located to Penneshaw nearby. The back deck leads into the track that goes through the sand dunes to the beach, it’s a short walk. The sand flats are good for splashing around, would need to go further out for swimming. The holiday house is comfortable and tidy, WiFi and some board games. Even with the doors all closed we had quite a few mosquitos in the night, bring repellant if this is an issue. The host was helpful and generous giving us late checkout complimentary as there had been a power issue on the whole island when we arrived. Thank you for a comfortable and peaceful stay.

Aquamarine review
The property was poorly maintained and not clean at all. We tried to vaccum but the vaccuum cleaner was clogged with dirt and we were not able to use it. The bare minimum were of toiletries were provided. Lighting was very poor. The bedside lamps in the guest bedroom did not have globes. My friends nearly tripped and fell on the kitchen floor where on the floor boards was projecting out. During the time of booking it appeared to be beach front from the photos but that was not so. This is the first and last time that I will be booking via Stayz as it appeared to me that their standards are lower than what I can book otherwise. Disappointed.

Property was ok, but not great.
If travelling to KI it’s good to know that everything is priced at a premium. The owner was very helpful in the lead up to our stay, but the general upkeep of the property is minimal and the cleaning was definitely light on - I know the owner was trying to address this issue. Beds and couches not very comfortable which you really want when you go on holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to KI and the house is in a convenient location, but we wouldn’t necessarily stay here again.
