About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Experience the unique charm and tranquility of The Workman’s Cottage, located on a third-generation sheep farming property in the picturesque countryside of Kangaroo Island. Our cottage offers the perfect mix of seclusion and accessibility, just 15 minutes from Kingscote Airport, 20 minutes from Kingscote town, and a short 5-minute drive to local attractions like Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery and Clifford’s Honey Farm.

Ideal for couples, and friends travelling together, The Workman’s Cottage offers a peaceful rural getaway. The cottage features two spacious bedrooms: one king bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and one queen bedroom. Additionally, there is a main bathroom to serve the queen bedroom. The cozy living room with a fireplace invites you to relax and unwind, while the fully equipped kitchen provides everything you need to prepare and enjoy home-cooked meals. Enjoy views overlooking the MacGillivray Cricket Ground from the kitchen, where you might catch a cricket match in the distance if you’re staying between October and March.

To make your stay even more enjoyable, for an additional cost, we offer the following for purchase: Breakfast provisions, gourmet produce baskets, and frozen home-cooked meals.

The Workman’s Cottage is not just a place to stay; it’s a destination in itself. This charming and rustic cottage provides all the essentials for a comfortable and relaxing stay, with the added benefit of privacy and seclusion. Whether you’re exploring the surrounding natural beauty, immersing yourself in the island’s rich history, or simply unwinding by the fireplace with a glass of red in winter or enjoying a cold drink on the deck in summer, The Workman’s Cottage promises a truly memorable Kangaroo Island holiday experience. Our attention to detail, personal touches, and commitment to your comfort set us apart, making this secluded, serene escape the perfect choice for your next getaway.
