Stones ‘n’ Wood – Deluxe ocean front retreat
Description
Welcome to our truly unique family-built slice of Kangaroo Island heaven, perched on top of the hill right in Kingscote overlooking the entire bay.
Every stone was handpicked from farmers properties near Smiths Bay on the north coast of K.I. then lovingly sorted through and chosen for their exact shape and size so that not a single stone had to be cut in the crafting of this absolutely stunning character home.
With four large bedrooms and two bathrooms it’s the perfect place to base yourself.
