We were visiting Vivonne Bay on our vacation in Kangaroo Island. We were staying in a rental holiday house called "Ulaveo"; on Flinders Rd. It was a 2 bedroom house, well equipped! Great design! Point Ellen was a nice easy walk. Amazing views! Beach was great and so was the jetty area. Be aware that there is almost no mobile... More

So peaceful, and not many people. Great to walk around and look at the different shells and washed up sealife. More

Beautiful beach within close proximity to many of K.I.'s main attractions. Local general store staff were friendly & welcoming & their seafood melas delicious. The area is quiet with many holiday homes yet most are surrounded by natural bush ensuring privacy between properties. Highly recommended for families. Would return to this area again. More

Do it. We were by ourselves with the guide, but were given excellent attention and thought it was good value. More

Our family had our Christmas holidays on Kangaroo Island ruined when we were run off Kangaroo Island by aggressive redneck Kingscote locals camping at Vivonne Bay Council Camping Ground. Despite two phone conversations requesting police assistance (000) as we feared we would be assaulted the police did not attend. We heard from other locals that this behaviour of intimidation to...

It's a pretty beach. It's pleasant to walk along the jetty and look at the sea grasses (or whatever the plants were), but unless you are there specifically for the swimming, boating or fishing, there's not much else to do but drive away. More
