Ratcliff Cottage Kangaroo Island

Ratcliff Cottage is a beautifully restored limestone homestead nestled on 100 acres of limestone countryside in Pelican Lagoon, Kangaroo Island. With absolute water frontage, the cottage offers breathtaking views and gentle waves lapping the shore just metres from the front door. The expansive terrace provides an idyllic setting for dining, reading, entertaining, and relaxing. Inside, the cottage comfortably accommodates six guests across four bedrooms, featuring two king rooms (one convertible to twin king singles upon request), one queen room, and one twin single room. Amenities include a well-equipped kitchen, restored cork floors, fast Wi-Fi, and eco-friendly features like solar power and pure rainwater. The property is surrounded by a revegetation program, enhancing its natural beauty. While motorised boats, jet skis, pets, and fishing from the property are not permitted due to the high conservation value of Pelican Lagoon, guests can enjoy nearby fishing locations and kayak hire options. Ratcliff Cottage serves as an ideal base for exploring Kangaroo Island's wildlife, including kangaroos, wallabies, bandicoots, echidnas, goannas, and abundant birdlife. Local attractions such as Island Beach, American River, Pennington Bay, Kingscote, and Mount Thisby are just minutes away, with wineries, farmers markets, and wildlife parks in close proximity. The cottage is conveniently located only 15 minutes from the Penneshaw Ferry, offering easy access for boaters with two nearby public boat ramps at Island Beach and American River.
