We were a bit nervous on our approach to the Homestead, as the dirt roads are quite an experience once you get off the sealed highway, however after a short turn into the approach lane to the cabin, we were very pleased with our choice of accommodation on Kangaroo Island.

Eleanor river homestead is a beautiful cabin situated in an amazing location. Anytime of the year. All season bring different feels and stunning visual scenery.

The surroundings are just breathtaking with lots of beautiful yacca palms everywhere. It is very central located at the middle of the island with easy access to all attractions - and a... More

We stayed here January 2012 for 3 nights. We are a family of 5. It really is off the beaten track which adds to the uniqueness of this property. I will just start with 1 or 2 negatives. When we arrived Graeme our friendly host greeted us and said if we would like to walk up to the main homestead... More
