Are you planning a family vacation or a group getaway? Look no further than Emu Bay Holiday Homes, where adventure and relaxation seamlessly come together. We recently had the pleasure of hosting 12 adults and 14 children, and the experience was nothing short of magical.

Ample Space for Play and Exploration:

One of the standout features of Emu Bay Holiday Homes is the generous space it offers. The property provided a haven for our children, with beautiful gardens, a charming cubby house, and an intriguing labyrinth. The setting allowed their imaginations to run wild, creating endless opportunities for play, exploration, and learning. The native wildlife added an extra layer of excitement, providing curious encounters and valuable learning experiences for the little ones.

Well-Appointed Houses and Communal Spaces:

Amani, one of the homes at Emu Bay, stood out with its excellent communal space, especially the undercover BBQ area. It became the heart of our gathering, where laughter and delicious aromas filled the air. The houses themselves were incredibly well-appointed, eliminating the need for much of the ‘just in case’ equipment that usually clutters a getaway. Everything we needed was readily available, allowing us to focus on creating lasting memories

A Promise to Return:

As we reluctantly packed our bags to leave, the sentiment among our group was unanimous – we can’t wait to visit again. Emu Bay Holiday Homes provided an unforgettable experience for both adults and children alike, leaving us with cherished memories and a promise to return.

Emu Bay Holiday Homes is not just a place to stay; it’s a place where nature and hospitality converge in perfect harmony. Nestled on the stunning Kangaroo Island in South Australia, our little slice of paradise is home to an array of wildlife. Among our cherished residents is Spot, a lovable koala who has made Emu Bay Holiday Homes his home and takes pride in welcoming our guests with open arms—well, as much as a koala can!

A Furry Welcome Committee

Spot, as we affectionately call him, comes with impressive “KOALAfications” and embodies the finest “KOALA-tees” that make him the perfect greeter. He doesn’t shake hands or offer warm verbal greetings, but his presence is a heartwarming sight for anyone who visits our holiday homes. Spot’s favourite spot is all the trees like the tall ones right next to the Shalom House, where he spends most of his days munching on leaves and soaking in the island’s tranquil vibes.

The Gentle Observer

Koalas are known for their calm and contemplative nature, and Spot is no exception. While guests check-in and out, he observes from his treetop perch, casting a watchful eye over the comings and goings of visitors. Spot seems to understand the importance of giving guests their space while also being a part of the unique Emu Bay experience.

A Lesson in Coexistence

Spot’s presence reminds us of the delicate balance between human hospitality and the preservation of nature. Emu Bay Holiday Homes is committed to being an eco-friendly destination, and we take pride in sharing our space with the incredible wildlife that calls Kangaroo Island home.

Your Chance to Meet Spot

When you visit Emu Bay Holiday Homes, be sure to keep an eye out for our furry friend, Spot the koala. He may not give you a traditional welcome, but his presence adds a touch of wild charm to your stay. Just remember to respect his space, and you’ll have a memorable encounter with one of Kangaroo Island’s most endearing residents.

Emu Bay Holiday Homes is more than just accommodation; it’s an opportunity to connect with nature and create lasting memories. We hope that Spot’s story adds a unique and heartwarming dimension to your stay with us. 

Book your stay today and experience the magic of Kangaroo Island, where koalas like Spot are just one of the many delightful surprises awaiting you.

Now we are free from travel restrictions, many extended families and large groups are looking to holiday together. 

The challenge is finding the best extended family and large group holiday accommodation option that fits within people’s budgets and ensures everyone enjoys their holiday. 

Take a look at some of the reasons to travel as a group and what the best solution is for booking a place to stay. 

Why organise a large group holiday?

• Family reunions

During the pandemic, friends and families were separated by state and even suburb lines. Why not get the extended family back together in one place for the first time in years and enjoy a few days together? Somewhere near the beach is always a good option, especially during warmer weather. 

• Annual gatherings

An annual gathering is always a treat for extended families, sporting clubs, community groups and groups of friends who haven’t had the chance to catch up in a while. 

• Special occasions

An anniversary, a milestone birthday, a wedding, or the birth of a child can be good excuses to get together for a family getaway. Staying at the one accommodation venue gives people time to catch up properly. 

Extended family and large group accommodation options

The accommodation you choose will impact everyone’s budget and experience. 

• Holiday homes

Holiday homes make sense for extended family accommodation because they are self-contained, cost-effective and easy to fit large groups into. 

• Hotels

Hotels often aren’t the best large group holiday accommodation because they tend to keep the family disconnected. Everyone is in a different room, and there is not always a decent communal space to gather. Hotels are also quite expensive and when you pay per room there is no way to share costs. 

• Holiday cabins

Holiday cabins can be a little more flexible for extended family accommodation but people with younger children have to return to their cabins at the kids’ bed time, which can be frustrating. Cabins often have limited cooking facilities as well.  

• Camping

Camping as a form of large group holiday accommodation is cost-effective but it puts you at the mercy of the weather. You can set up around a communal space and know that the kids are safe in their tent nearby, but as soon as it rains, it’s not much fun for anyone. Camping in extreme heat or cold can also be very uncomfortable and it’s not an ideal activity for people who are getting on in years. 

The best choice for extended family accommodation 

The best solution for large group holiday accommodation is a combination of some large holiday houses that have plenty of bedrooms as well as communal areas. Combine that with smaller cottages and cabins on the same property and you have the best of both worlds where everyone can have their own space, but gather together for meals. This offers outstanding value for money. With everyone on the same property, it gives the privacy of separate units while still providing space for people to gather and catch up. It also makes it a safe space for children to play and roam between units. 

There is no need to worry about linen or kitchen utensils when you book a larger holiday home. A quality option also offers plenty to keep children occupied and is located somewhere convenient so people can sightsee if they wish to during the day.

Choose Emu Bay Holiday Homes for your next large group holiday

For a unique experience, bring your extended family or large group to stunning Kangaroo Island.

This holiday gem sits just off the coast of South Australia. As well as being a haven for native animals, the island is rich with fishing, hiking, culture and all manner of other holiday activities.

The best place to stay on Kangaroo Island for large groups and extended families is Emu Bay Holiday Homes.

Walking distance from the beautiful swimming and fishing spot of Emu Bay and only a short drive from the local shops in Kingscote, Emu Bay Holiday Homes presents the perfect mix of an outback getaway with all the modern amenities.

The spacious, well-appointed, and comfortable holiday houses, cabins and cottages are perfect for family holidays. Outside of food, which is easily found at the store down the road, or can be catered for by some recommended outside caterers, everything you need is provided.

Accommodation options include the following: 

Jireh sleeps up to ten people and offers ocean views. It offers a large covered patio for outdoor dining. 

Amani sleeps up to nine people and is fully self-contained. Amani also has a large undercover protected BBQ and patio area. It can also be combined with Bayview Apartment for a larger house. 

If you have an even larger group or if some families/couples want more privacy, you can book the smaller Shalom, which sleeps up to 7 people. 

The other option is to add some cabins that sleep 2-4 people to your booking. It can work well to have younger families with children in the bigger house and older or child-free couples in the smaller cabins so they can retreat somewhere peaceful. 

Speaking of kids, the property Emu Bay Holiday Homes sits on has lots of space for kids to run around and play outdoors so they can wear themselves out and be ready for bed.
