  • "This place absolutely blew us away. Came to celebrate a few days for our anniversary and was not disappointed. I have been fortunate enough to stay in quite a few Airbnb’s and this has surpassed them all easily. It would be really difficult to find a place with better surrounds. Daily visits from the friendly kangaroos one of few highlights. Sue was a great host and provided all the information we needed. Would highly recommend this place."

    Jim, Middle River, August 2024

  • "The house was stunning. Spectacular view, cute kangaroos and wallabies and some amazing views. All the amenities you need and a well equipped kitchen. Was sad to leave!"

    Melanie, Middle River, May 2024

  • "Our stay was 11/10. Best day on KI was when we stayed put at the house. Made pancakes, put on our gumboots and explored the property, watched the rain through huge windows, had a lavender bath, fed the friendly roos, read books and toasted marshmallows in front of the fire. Sue was amazing - even helped to source a portacot for us to use at a separate listing. Thank you so much. If you can - stay a few nights here and then a few nights at their property on other side of island."

  • "Awesome view and an amazing experience. This was truly a wonderful stay. The fireplace was nice and warm and there was plenty of firewood. There was lots of space and the house was big. My daughter liked how the microwave played a song when it finished."

    Chris, Middle River, July 2024

  • "First impressions amaze balls view, like it could have been a movie, rolling green pastures, friendly kangaroos, manicured lawns. The home was spacious, centrally located fireplace that warmed the whole house, plentiful firewood, well equipped kitchen, views from every window, except for the attic bedrooms, but the upstairs bathroom view more than makes up for that. Definitely a place We would like to return to and would recommend to family and friends. Thank you Sue for a lovely stay and excellent communication."

    Jewel, Middle River, July 2024

  • "Our group of 4 really loved our stay at Sue’s place. The surroundings are truly magical. Sure, it’s out of the way but for a Kangaroo Island experience that you won’t forget I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Sue is a great host too."

    Wayne, Middle River, June 2024

  • "I wanted to surprise my wife for her 30th getaway she had no idea where I booked I just told her to wait and see, the wow factor from my wife and kids was exactly what I was expecting heading over. this place is a oasis ✨️ a good spot to let go of the things in life and just enjoy the time with loved one's"

  • "The home was beautiful and comfortable, only to be outdone by the spectacular surrounding scenery. It is quite remote but that is part of the allure, lending itself to gorgeous scenery and views plus nature/wildlife right at your doorstep. The hosts were very helpful and responsive when needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Loved it!!"

    Cal, Middle River, May 2024

    Robyn, Middle River, May 2024

  • “ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL! My advice is grab enough groceries for your entire stay because you will absolutely not want to leave the property, it’s stunning!”

    Drue, Middle River, May 2024

  • “Magical, wonderful place. I felt honoured to look after it for a week. Excellent facilities, kitchen was the best stocked (utensils, pantry, saucepans, pans etc etc.) of anywhere I have ever stayed, and I’ve stayed in a lot. It’s EXACTLY what the photos show. Perfection and great wildlife - THANKYOU Sue and Andy!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️”

    - Sally, May 2024

  • “Fabulous place. Incredible, uninterrupted ocean views, kangaroos came right to the door and were gentle and friendly. House was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Sue was an extremely pleasant and helpful host when we needed assistance.”

    - Louise, May 2024

  • “We loved our stay! Absolute perfect balance of everything. Million dollar views in multiple directions, an abundance of wildlife. Ample, beautiful, outdoor area to play or relax, including swinging seats and outdoor dining and a BBQ. Spacious yet cosy and welcoming home, set up to walk in and entertain. Plenty of everything, we were very comfortable and would love to come again. The hosts were very helpful and lovely. Thank you!”

  • “As soon as we arrived at the property we were in absolute awe of the ocean views and the beautiful grounds. It’s a scenic piece of paradise. The home itself felt rustic, yet had a grand vibe. The attention to detail in the decor was so beautifully interesting. The home was spotless and provided more than everything we needed. We truly enjoyed every moment here and definitely plan to come back. Honestly, words and photos just don’t do justice to the magic place that is the Grass House at Middle River. And, as far as hosts go, you can’t get better than Sue -friendly, Great communication, and always responsive”

  • “This is quite possibly my new favourite place in KI. A perfect spot to take our visitors from overseas with Kangaroos literally on the doorstep each morning and evening. A beautiful and well appointed place in magical surroundings. I would highly recommend this stay and will be back next time we visit KI. Thanks so much Sue and Andrew for sharing your place and being wonderful hosts.”

  • “Wow! Sue’s place on Kangaroo Island was an absolute paradise. The views to the hills and the ocean are just stunning. The sunsets and sunrises are like a dream. Every single day we saw kangaroos all over the hillsides and coming right up to the house. Seeing the kangaroos so close — including a mother and joey — was the highlight of the trip for our two young children. The wildlife on this island is truly amazing! We saw kangaroos, wallabies, eagles, an echidna, quokka and koalas. The wild koalas were just sleeping in the trees only minutes away on the side of the road. The house is wonderfully comfortable and has everything one could possibly need, including beach chairs, beach towels and a beach shade shelter. We saw so many pristine beaches that were never crowded. At times we were the only ones on the beach. It really is such a special place and an absolute natural paradise here. This has been one of our very favorite vacations. Thank you for the memories!”

    Ashley, March 2024

  • “Our Kangaroo Island wedding would have never been so beautiful without the accommodation of Sue. The house was in pristine condition, very clean, and had all the amenities and supplies we needed. Sue was also very responsive, thoughtful, and accommodating. I highly recommend Sue's lovely home.”

    Peter Paul, January 2024

  • The Grass Tree is magnificent. It’s one of the most beautiful spots I’ve ever stayed. The location is stunning. Snellings beach, 5min drive from the house, is a beauty. The wildlife around the property, the view, the moon rising over the ocean, a magical place. Hope to be back some day. Thanks Sue.Calte aur 04

  • "We had a wonderful stay in this house, the photos do not do it justice, amazing views, amazing house and the wildlife wow! We stayed for 2 nights but could have stayed for 2 weeks the island has so much to offer. This was the perfect place for our family reunion and our overseas family was blown away with how beautiful Kangaroo Island is."
