Pros:

CABN was just incredible! The amenities are beautiful, the view was to die for, we just did not want to leave. For the price the experience is amazing. We used the sauna, the outdoor bath multiple times and the BBQ. We were Also impressed as to how they keep each CABN pretty private.

Cons:

Only criticism is that the pillows were not very comfy, but the experience as a whole was 10/10

The cabin wasn't spotlessly clean. Traces in the bathroom and kitchen of the previous guests. Disabled toilet look.

Pros:

I stayed at CABN Kangaroo Island with my sister. The location is stunning, and the accomodation had everything we needed. The preordered food was there on arrival. We enjoyed the wildlife (kangaroos, ibis and more...). Very quiet and relaxing and a lovely beach only a short walk away. Perfect if you wish to switch off for a few days. I enjoyed the sauna with a view.

Cons:

Was awesome overall. Could advertise more that there is a safe swimming beach with private access
Pros:

Breakfast provisions were over and above expectations. Access to private safe swimming beach on property was unbelievable. Also to be able to go to small lighthouse that is also on the property was great.

Gewollt, aber nicht gekonnt!
Pros:

Schön abgelegene CABN; outdoor Wanne ist super; Sauna ist okay; Personal freundlich, alle Informationen werden zeitnah über Mail übergeben.

Cons:

Leider hat die Klima nicht funktioniert; die CABN war sehr staubig; und insgesamt nicht sehr sauber; in der Sauna lagen viele tote Fliegen und Motten, diese mussten wir vor Nutzung zunächst beseitigen.
Kleine Espressomaschine defekt, das Wasser läuft dort aus.
Der Weg zur Kabine 2 Km über stark unbefestigte Straße.
Für diesen Preis haben wir aufjedenfall mehr erwartet.

Pros:

Was beautiful! Isolated and relaxing!

Cons:

definitely ideally need a 4wd to access our cabin Eddie as it’d be difficult in a normal car as even in our Hilux we still slid a few times.
Someone’s water bottle was left between the curtin and beside table and one of the wine glasses had a crack in it which we discovered while setting up the space

A magical mix of serenity, natural beauty and wildlife for pure entertainment pleasure!
Pros:

The vista was stunning and only surpassed by the wildlife. Wallabies and Kangaroo play every morning and evening and the quiet and serenity are unmatched.

Cons:

Very efficiently laid out and the sauna and baths were a special treat.
