The two properties at Antechamber Bay; Nat’s and The Kona are situated on the eastern side of Kangaroo Island and are a stone’s throw from the ocean. Both Nat’s and Kona have everything you could want in a retreat – seclusion, a private beach, in-house catering, incredible wildlife and a fully working farm with all the peace and tranquillity you could imagine.
The retreat is nestled in a habitat which is full of wildlife that has to be seen to be believed. There are few places on the mainland that can offer such a unique experience. You can swim with the dolphins or just lay in your luxury king size bed and watch the ships sail by.

The Kona
A tranquil Kangaroo Island holiday cottage with magnificent views.
The panoramic views from this light-filled farm cottage capture the essence of Creek Bay: a foreground of pastoral splendour with grazing sheep and rolling pasture edged by native bush. And beyond, a sweeping headland-to-headland vista of Antechamber Bay framed by Cape Coutts and Cape St Albans.
Relaxed comfort for couples or younger families.
Named after a grand four-masted American schooner that ran aground on nearby Scraper Shoal, The Kona is a bright, easy-going, three-bedroom cottage with free wifi. Open-plan living creates versatile spaces that adapt readily to the needs of couples and younger families.
Outdoor dining area.
A highlight is the seamless connection with the outdoors, most notably the large front deck with its outdoor BBQ and dining area. It’s the ideal Kangaroo Island vantage point, be it for ship spotting, watching wildlife at dawn and dusk, or savouring a seascape that’s simply awe-inspiring at any time of day.
