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.
The house has recently been connected to the mains water and a large capacity hot water service was 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.

Great property for a family.Well thought out space right next to the beach which is very private and we had it mostly to ourselves.Fully equipped kitchen including the staples like salt, sugar and cooking spray. Only 10 min from the Penneshaw Ferry terminal and about an hours drive from Kingscote and some beautiful attractions that kangaroo Island has to offer.We will definitely be back one day. Thank you
We really enjoyed staying at the aquamarine! It has all the amenities we needed during our stay and it very well accommodated our 1 yo pooch as well. Definitely recommend booking your stay here for a pleasant getaway.
Convenient well kept house out of town but close enough to attractions and shops. Kitchen was clean and well equipped. Neighbourhood is quiet. The small beach is just over a sandhill.
Aquamarine was well equipped and well located. We had a great time taking the short walk to the beach, travelling around KI and making trips into Penneshaw for coffee or supplies. Fantastic spot for kids. Anna was a helpful and communicative host.
Stayed here for a work trip with a couple of colleagues and it was absolutely perfect for us. Great accommodation, clean, spacious and had all we needed for our time there. Will stay again should I ever get the chance. Thanks.
We are doing some work in the area and wanted somewhere to stay that felt lile home. Was perfectly located for us and went fishing locally after work. Would recommend again and intend on staying again as our project in the area continues
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.
We were very happy with the Aquamarine Holiday House.Lots of room with 2 bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed and a very good size fridge. Big family/dining area. Location perfect for short walk to a beautiful beach. The deck was great to sit and listen/ watch the busy bird life including the gorgeous blue wrens. It was a very hot few days on our KI visit and the aircon. was very well appreciated. We definitely recommend a stay there.

A bit disappointing
Location and overall function of the house was good. Plenty of room inside for our group. Bathrooms mouldy, particularly basin in ensuite. Only 6 rolls of toilet paper for 6 people for 8 nights was inadequate, as was the lack of basic stuff like glad wrap, alfoil or paper towel. We thought the yards were overgrown and not like the photos. We enjoyed our stay but thought these were areas for improvement.
The kitchen had no pantry to store our food and the plates, fry pans etc needed to be cleaned before we could use them. The place definitely needs a good clean. No real secure place for us to keep our dogs.

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.

Great Location, easy check in process, lots of extras within house.
Yard and surrounds need substantial work to make it look like what is advertised.
The owner was amazing. Unfortunately we had a few hiccups that were beyond her control but they were dealt with promptly and effectively. The actual property was a great spot for all of us. Teenagers Adults and small ones...
The house was comfortable and easy to maintain during our stay.
Will be back again.

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.
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 !
Our family of four (and dog) stayed at Aquamarine for 6 nights. We loved our morning walks with the pooch along Baudin Beach. It was a great base to explore the incredible Kangaroo Island. The house ticked all the boxes, was comfortable, warm and plenty of space for us all.
