We loved staying here - such a special place.  Dave and I were here 9 years ago - was great to bring our little girls here.  Look forward to coming back - hopefully soon.  Kath, Dave and girls,  Adelaide, January 2018
 
Very unique and beautiful place to be.  Appreciate every minute of what we could see and do.  Thank you very much. Fresia and Arthur, Adelaide, Dec 2017
 
Thank you so much!  We had a lovely weekend here. The beach is stunning and the water is beautiful. Hopefuully will come back some day.  Emma, Alex and Carol, USA, December 2017
 
Hello from France! Thank you for the few days in Raven Cottage. It was just perfect! The place is really pretty, clean and cosy. We had everything we needed. We will come back one day! Charlene and Guillaume, France, December 2017
 
Hello from Germany! We want to thank David and Gael for the great time at Raven Cottage. We had a great time at Kangaroo Island and enjoyed everything so much.  We will miss Raven Cottage and Kangaroo Island so much. René and Sandra, Germany, November 2017
 
Warm, cosy and close to the coast.  We loved being immersed by the encroaching scenery and native fauna. Perfect location with an easy two minute walk to the beautiful Vivonne Bay.  Comfortable and toasty beds. Not to mention the great range of tunes on the CD's provided. We were not disappointed.  Bonnie, Adelaide September 2017
 
Absolutely everything! Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Cute, cosy, clean and comfortable! Just brilliant.  A truly fantastic place to stay- complete with visiting wallaby and raven!  Highly recommended.  Regina, August 2017
 
We wanted to sincerely thank you for the use of your beautiful home. We fell in love with it on first sight; loved the dense bush and surrounding homes.  The lights illuminating our pathway to the front door were very pretty and useful.  The home was spotless for our arrival. We wanted to acknowledge the availabiity of certain basic essentials in the pantry and kitchen/laundry. Great idea to stock some staples. The pillows were fantastic as was the mattress.  Joe & Christine, August 2017
 
Thank you for three beautiful days of relaxation, rest and rediscovery. A real treat.  Mandy, May 2017
  
Just lovely. The Cottage was everything advertised; Spotless, cute and close to the beach and river. Loved every minute of our stay.  Loved the little wallaby and possum who gave us a small visit while we were on the deck. Will come again. Dean & Karen, March 2017 
  
Location for Flinders Chase was really good. Bringing everything we needed to Vivonne Bay was the key. The store was handy for the few things we did need. Apart from the storm it was really quiet and peaceful. Walking distance to the sea was a plus. The cottage was really cute! Plenty of reading material for after our excursions and the wildlife was lovely. The loft was fun but be careful coming down. Go backwards! We had fun! Isobel & Ed, Morphett Vale, March 2017
  
A great value cottage well placed for day trips elsewhere.  Good points include ease of booking and access, location with a stunning beach within easy walking and very cosy and comfortable cottage set back in the melaleuca woodland.  Great range of books, mags and games if the weather turns poorly but it was near perfect for us!  No problems with any aspect of the stay.  Michael,  March 2017
 
Perfect little weekend getaway; great hosts :)  Danielle, Adelaide, March 2017
 
Very quiet. Near by the sea. In the bush. At the second night there was some wallaby. Very friendly persons from the cottage. All nice and clean! Sam, Netherlands, Feb 2017
 
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.  The peaceful environment and all the wildlife was fantastic.  Great getaway from all the noise of everyday life.  Leigh, Adelaide, July 2016
 
We had a great 4 days in Raven Cottage.  It is very well equiped for self catering.  A very comfortable cottage deep in the shade of the coastal vegetation.  The bedroom is very small.  Graham, Melbourne, Mar 2016
 
The cottage is nestled in quiet bushland near the beach.  It was well equiped for cooking, reading, playing board games, and relaxing.  We played music (Van Morrison) using the CD's and CD player in the cottage, which seemed to give the wallabies the green light to hop out in front of the cottage looking for food :).  The beds were comfortable and bathroom clean.  Overall, a very nice place to stay near beautiful Vivonne Bay!  Frances, Apr 2015
 
Love the cottage, brilliant home base with everything we need. Have seen multiple goannas and wallaby visitors every day. Beautiful place, we will be back for sure!
Lexi and Brad, Adelaide, November 2014
 
Thank you very much for a lovely stay at Raven Cottage! It was a perfect spot to explore KI. Hopefully we will get the chance to come back one day.
Camille, Manichanh, Mikheil and Yann, Montpellier, France and Sydney, November 2014
 
We really enjoyed our stay at Raven Cottage. It is a beautiful place with lots of wildlife. It was our first time on Kangaroo Island and we definitely want to come back.
Susi, Thias, Chad and Jana, Germany and Wales, October 2014
 
All we can say is, it was really worth coming from France to visit Kangaroo Island.  Lots of great experiences.
Isabella and Deb, August 2014
 
A wonderful, private and peaceful retreat at Raven Cottage. We loved the bush setting and the amazing frog noises at night and the resident possums.
Melinda and Gerry, Mt. Evelyn, Victoria.
 
A delightful retreat.  The kind of place I have always dreamed of living in. Wont forget the sound of huge waves crashing on the beach at night and waking up to the sun rising above the dense green of the mallee.  Definitely a place to come back to.
Steve and Anna, June 2014
 
We just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our week at Raven Cottage. It was a real highlight of our South Australian holiday.We hadn't visited KI previously and loved it and Vivonne Bay was the perfect location. We loved the little begging wallabies, Stokes Bay Bush Garden was terrific and Remarkable Rocks were indeed remarkable.The cottage suited our needs perfectly.
Barb & Jim, Alice Springs, April 2014

Had the best 8 days of my life in your cottage, thanks! Privacy and peace and well equipped cottage. 
Tim, Queensland January 2013

Dad, it's like a tree house! I could write on and on about how much we enjoyed it but one word says it all - "Amazing!" 
Tyson, Danni & boys, Adelaide, Mar 2012

It was great here at Raven Cottage, right near the beautiful beach and not far away from a lot of the attractions. Will definitely recommend this lovely cottage.
Ingrid (Norway) and Andrew (Adelaide) Mar 2012

We really enjoyed our time at Raven Cottage. The cottage is great - don't change it!.
Heidi-Marie & Uwe, Belgium, May 2012

Perfect! Just what we needed after a "tumultuous year"; this has been paradise.
Denise & David, NSW, Dec 2011

What a lovely cottage; rustic, clean and homely. The setting is fantastic - it is a piece of paradice.
Helen & Bill, New Zealand Dec 2011

Wow, Raven Cottage has exceeded all our expectations. Who needs to go to Queensland when we have such awesome beaches on our doorstep?
Jen & Azza, Adelaide October 2010

Kangaroo Island is amazing. Raven Cottage is beautiful. We had a great time- soaking up the sun, watching the wildlife. Aren't those seals cute!!
Jodi, Christien & Kimberley, Netherlands, October 2010

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! What a fantastic place and a great way to start our honeymoon.
Toby and Mel, Edwardstown SA September 2010

We loved our stay at Raven Cottage. A simple, cosy and romantic retreat surrounded by nature and far from the madding crowd. Our only visitors were the wallabies, birds and possums. So close to a beautiful beach and handy to all KI has to offer, yet so far from the noise of the city. We even got engaged while we were there!
Suzie, SA May 2010

We have loved our time at Raven Cottage. It is easily the best part of our four week holiday. There is so many beautiful things to do and see on the Island and the Cottage is the best thing to come back to after a long day exploring. We wish we could stay forever. It’s absolutely perfect. Thank you.
Vicki and Richard, Adelaide

 

Wanted to stay at Raven Cottage for quite a while now and I can say it was worth the wait. The weather has been kind to us, so our early morning walks along the beach to watch the sun rise a delight. All in all our stay has been wonderful. Would love to come back. Many thanks.
Susan and Pam, Melbourne

We have lost track of time here (which was the idea!) Had a great time- very relaxing and peaceful. Saw lots of wallabies at the back door. The beach was superb! Just fab- we want to stay at Vivonne Bay forever (maybe in our retirement!) Thank you.
Sarah and Steven

Charming cottage. Lovely and clean. Beautifully nestled in the woods.
Brigitte from Canada

Little Raven Cottage is RAD. We have spent 3 nights here as base camp whilst fishing, walking and driving to sights of the area.
Tony and Sacha, Western Australia

Love the environment, breezes on the Melaleucas, birds and friendly wallabies from the back deck. Peaceful, enjoyable and comfortable. Thanks.
Pamela and Ross, Western Australia

We enjoyed staying in your lovely “tree hut-feeling” cottage. Lots of laughter, games and food has been enjoyed in the evenings. It’s been a great base for exploring the Island.
Megan, New Zealand, Mark, UK, Paul, UK and Anneline, Denmark

Been to KI many times- its gets better and better. Having found this place passes all expectations!!! What a place to celebrate my birthday!! I too will be rav’n about “The Raven” to all that listen. I hope it’s here for a long time as I wish to experience it again and again just as it is. We made a promise to ourselves to make it back here ASAP. All the little extras, much appreciated.
Brenda and KT, Adelaide

River fishing, jetty fishing, beach fishing, seal watching, walks on the beach, bumpy car rides, afternoon siestas, sleep ins, breakfast in bed, draughts, monopoly, cards, CD’s and Macca on a Sunday morning. Flinders Chase NP, whiting burgers (Vivonne Bay store), mullet from the beach, short showers, home cooked meals, reading, watching rough seas crash against the rocks- the list goes on! Raven Cottage- what a beautiful place to get away from it all. We had such a great time. Thanks you.
Alistair and Kelly, Adelaide

Rustic, peaceful, cosy and clean. Great.
