Antechamber Bay Retreats

We had the most wonderful family holiday at Antechamber Bay Retreats. Loved the charming old Cottage with its blissful views, the fireplace and the comfortable bedrooms. We were received with the warmest welcome and our stay could not have been better. Spent a whole morning watching a whale breaching in the bay. I am writing this review weeks after we had stayed as the memories are still so present.

We spent 3 days in this beautiful and remote setting. A great place to explore the sights and enjoy the food and drink experiences of the Dudley Penninsula and Peneshaw before retreating to the peace and quiet of Shylie's. Whiled away time imagining living in this rugged but stunning place then exploring the cliffs and private beach. The outdoor bath in the rain was a special treat as was the wood fire heater.

Stayed here at both Nat’s and The Kona - absolutely beautiful setting and highly recommend.

Very well equipped kitchens at both places, fantastic quality appliances and even a personalized note from the owners welcoming us! All beddings was beautiful quality and comfortable beds. We loved our time here and would love to come back!

I recently stayed at Shylie's cottage after being a frequent visitor to Antechamber Bay Retreats, in the past staying at Kona and Nats. I was delighted to see a new accommodation offering on this beautiful farm. Perfect for a couple or small family. Shylie's view from the master bedroom is breathtaking from early morning to late at night, the quality of my sleep so deep, lulled by a gentle breeze and rhythmic ocean sounds. This retreat has everything you need for a perfect stay, Kate is a warm and generous host with special touches left for guests (even down to heavenly hand made soap). To cap it all off, the retreat comes complete with a divine outside private bath, I spent many a restorative afternoon soaking here watching little blue wrens diving in and out of the native bush retreat after the day spent on the very special private beach. I cannot wait to return.

My parents and I stayed at Shylie's retreat and it was truly the most wonderful experience. Kate and Andy are lovely people and incredibly friendly, the view is spectacular and the most gorgeous, private beaches are mere minutes away. The house itself is lovely, cosy and comfortable with all the necessary ammenities and again with the most insane views. We stayed for 6 days and I wouldn't change any part of our stay for the world. I could not recommend Antechamber Bay Retreats enough and Kate was so helpful and responsive during the booking process.

This place was a great spot to stay on Kangaroo Island. The host family was very accommodating for us all. I really liked the easy access to the beach. The view from the house was stunning. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Our stay at Shylie’s was the perfect treat after travelling KI in our camper. Perched above the beach the panoramic view is amazing from every room, and especially enjoyable from the outdoor bath on the deck. The house is simple with the retention of old charm and new comforts and the property offers so much to do that you just don’t need to leave. Truly pet friendly. We enjoyed the private beach, walking, riding and fishing during our stay. Highly recommend a visit.

Spent a weekend here, left feeling relaxed and refreshed! Stunning views and access to a few beaches directly from the property.

The house was very comfortable to stay in with clean/new bathroom facilities, fully equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The hosts made it such an easy and enjoyable experience.

Thanks Kate and Andy:)

My wife and I just spent a wonderful week in The Kona. Antechamber Bay Retreats is the perfect place for those looking to get away from it all in total comfort with all the modern conveniences you could ask for - including 3,500 acres of beautiful farm land and two - repeat two - private beaches within walking distance of the Kona's deck overlooking the ocean. THANK YOU, Kate and Andy for a wonderful holiday
