We went to visit King Island for a Mothers Day mini-break. There were 5 of us in total, 3 adults and 2 kids aged 10 and 8. Alexandra's accommodation was the perfect place to stay for a long weekend.
Prior to arriving in KI, Alexandra was super responsive to all of my many questions and gave me great information.
Prior to our arrival Alexandra hadn't been well but fortunately was well enough to still have us stay and be so incredibly welcoming.
Upon arrival we were welcomed with a homemade apple crumble and quite a few of the most tasty local cheeses. There were also other supplies such as bread milk butter and other essentials.
Essential info for your visit:
Location- round the corner and down the road from the main Street. It's not quite walking distance but close enough.
Note for those that have mobility issues or vertigo - Alexandra is up on a hill and her driveway is quite steep. For hesitant drivers maybe consider parking on the street and walking up the driveway if your luggage isn't too heavy.
Bedrooms- 2 bedrooms, one with a king size bed and one with a queen were very comfortable. Built in robes was also useful given our heavy winter jackets were with us. An additional bed was set up in the entry/ spare room for the fifth person to sleep well. There were two heaters which more than sufficiently warmed all the rooms. Bathrobes were provided for all us adults.
Kitchen- The kitchette, though small, was sufficiently stocked with pots pans etc and was totally adequate for us to cook up some dinner on one of the nights and breakfast both mornings. The coffee maker was much appreciated by my sister and mum and the kettle could heat to different temperatures, which for a tea drinker like myself was greatly appreciated.
Tv- Foxtel was available, but also a dvd/ Blu-ray player and a USB point on the Blu-ray player which meant I could bring along my external hard drive and some DVDs to watch with the kids.
Living space- we really liked how, in particular, the living room was set out. It is thoughfully designed and made the best use of the space available. Some board games were also available and a reading nook that looks out on to the beautiful view of the water.
Alexandra was a wealth of information and gave us some good tips on places to check out. We all really appreciated her hospitality and kindness. Thanks for a wonderful stay, we would be very happy to stay here again 😁
