We hope you and your families are staying safe in these unprecedented times the world is experiencing. Continued vigilance and adherence to guidelines for COVID safety is so important.
Kangaroo Island with it’s isolation and limited medical facilities makes it a very vulnerable community.
For this reason – to protect our fragile medical system, our guests, staff and the Kangaroo Island Community, Emu Bay Holiday Homes(EBHH) will be a NO VAX, NO STAY property from the 1st December 2021. Patrons with medical exemptions, minors not yet eligible and patrons that live regionally that have not had access to vaccinations can contact us. Due to the marked increase in Covid numbers as duty of care to our staff, guests and the wider community From 26/12/2021 a Rapid Antigen Test(RAT) will be required on checkin and may be required on checkout. The cost of this will be for the guest.
Please DO NOT COME TO THE ISLAND IF UNWELL or you have been in contact with anybody from COVID HOTSPOTS. Please get tested prior to coming if you have any doubt.
Attend your OWN medical services. PLEASE do not willingly place our community at risk.

The cleanliness of Emu Bay Holiday Homes has always been our pride. Additional attention with appropriate disinfection is given to commonly touched areas.
