Spot and his friends: The Adorable Koala Ambassador of Emu Bay Holiday Homes

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.

Photogenic and Proud

Spot is quite the poser, and he knows it! He often strikes a photogenic pose, making him a favourite subject for our guests’ cameras. Whether he’s curled up in a ball or stretching his furry limbs, Spot’s cute antics never fail to bring smiles to the faces of our visitors.

Respecting His Space

As much as we love Spot and encourage our guests to admire him from a respectful distance, we always stress the importance of not disturbing or feeding him. After all, we want to ensure that he remains happy and healthy in his natural habitat.

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.

Exceeded our high expectations!

A wonderful experience that exceeded all expectations. The cabin has everything one needs. The surroundings are very beautiful and kangaroos, koalas and the birds come to visit often. Just when we thought it was as good as it can be, we realized there was more! Incredible starry skies and a lot of shooting stars. Wishing we could have stayed for more than 9 days.

Vacation ❘ Couple

We stayed in the Bayview Guest wing, perfect for the two of us, for our seven night stay. Although it is attached to Amani House, (so it can be hired as part of Amani too), it is very well sound proofed and we chatted to our neighbours at times but felt undisturbed by their presence. Fantastic views of the superb Emu Bay, surrounded by wildlife and we were made very welcome by Rene and Johannes. The lovely Rene visited us to make sure we had whatever we needed and she is very knowledgeable about KI and can answer any questions you might have. Everything we needed was supplied, including a welcome gift of a bottle of False Cape red wine, local honey and KI oats and the apartment was beautifully clean. An easy walk to the beautiful beach, friendly locals and a fifteen minute drive to Kingscote for a meal at the pub, or the local Italian.

(Booking is a good idea!)

Highly recommend Emu Bay Holiday Homes.
