If you like great views, isolated beautiful beaches and wildlife at your door Nats and the Kona are the perfect holiday destinations. Nats is an amazing house being one of the earliest houses in South Australia yet it still has all of the things you need to have a great stay. A great open firewith a ready supply of Mallee roots. Great cooling breezes in the summer. Fishing from the rocks, Yabbies in season and great walks along the coast.
The black worms are millipedes, they are all over South Australia and shock horror there are blow flies in summer! Strange place the country sometimes the wildlife get a bit close and personal.

Nats is a warm, historic building pirched on the cliff overlooking Antechamber Bay. Our family spent 4 days in this wonderful location that reminded me of family holidays with my parents.
The house had all the requirements for a family and even given its historical beginnings, still has a great layout that allowed the kids and adults plenty of space to relax. The kitchen was well appointed and hosts (located descretely in another house around the hill) ready to help out with last minute provisions and local tips.
The view was simply sensational, overlooking the pristine Bay and back towards the Mainland with daily shows from dolphins and schools of fish...Yes we caught some! The kids loved the beach and extensive farm, so nice after years of city life.
We left reluctantly but determined to return with some friends for a mid- winter reunion.

We are so fortunate to have had such a unique holiday experiece at Nats (and again at The Kona) at Antechamber Bay Retreats Kangaroo Island. The location, the view, the hospitality, our own private beach for swimming and fishing and the afternoon barbecues are memories that stay with us long after we have left Kangaroo Island.
To stay in a spot steeped in so much history but with all the modern amenities is an incredible find.
Thankyou to hosts Kate and Andrew - who ensure the best possible holiday experience.

Stayed for three nights with adult children & partners for a Kangaroo Island adventure. One bathroom between 7 adults was challenging...Whilst 2 bedrooms had king beds, the other rooms had singles and seemed more suited for smaller children. The house was somewhat clean...however.....there was an infestation of small black worms which required constant watching to make sure our 14month old granddaughter did not eat and a few of these worms had made their way into the bed of one of the single beds...there were lots and lots of mice in the kitchen and lounge area and every time they thought the family had retired for the night they were all over the kitchen so lock up your food really well…...Our 21YO daughter who was sleeping on the lounge (because there were worms in her bed) was very distressed when the mice appeared on the first night and would not be scared away., resulting in very poor sleep for her for the whole stay

Be mindful that the drive to the property is on some part unsealed road, which we drove slow so as not to damage the hire car and we ended up with a 40 minute drive to get back into town and explore….some general provisions are provided but make sure you take milk and bread as these basics were not...did not see the host family at all during the stay so cannot comment on their hospitality…would think that for the money there are better options available on Kangaroo Island and whilst the view was amazing it was most likely the only good thing about the house…would not recommend to friends or stay again…
