Testimonials

Hear from our guests

My second time visiting Kangaroo Island and I could not recommend this tiny home enough. After exploring the island we found our favourite spots to be just a short drive away.

The tiny home itself was beautifully styled and well thought out. Chris and Clarissa have gone above and beyond to make their place warm and inviting. All the small touches did not go unnoticed. We even arrived to wallabies hanging out on the back lawn and had them visiting daily which was so special.

I’ll definitely be recommending to friends and family and already can’t wait to go back.

Had an absolutely lovely stay at this tiny home in Vivonne Bay. You can tell the owners have thought about doing as much as they can to make the stay extra special for their guests. Although the home is tiny, you don’t go without all the luxuries you’re used to. The beds are very comfy, and I was impressed by the sleek power points to charge your devices, as well as the bed side lamps & fan if needed. These little things make a big difference to the functionality of the space. A full size shower and generous sized bathroom is a huge plus, not to mention the towels are beautiful & soft, just what you need after a long day at the beach.

Speaking of, you are very close to the beach with clear blue waters, 2 minutes from the best fish burger on KI and we also managed to sneak up to Flinders Chase for sunrise, a short 45 minute drive and we were the only ones there to explore the place in the best light. There is also plenty of space outside the tiny home as well, including a deck with a barbecue that leads to the lawn. After sunset, we were able to sit by the fire and watch the wallabies stroll in for a feed.

If you’re looking for a unique experience that’s also comfy and inviting, this is the place. We will definitely be back again!

Can I interact with the wildlife?

Wallabies are a common sighting at Tilly’s Rest, and while they are accustomed to humans and often come close to the home, we recommend admiring them from a distance.

Please do not feed or approach them, as they are wild animals.

How often is Tilly's Rest cleaned?

We take cleanliness very seriously. Our tiny home is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between each guest’s stay, ensuring a fresh and welcoming environment for every arrival.

What are the furnishings and amenities like in the tiny home?

We’ve furnished the tiny home with high-quality, comfortable pieces, including luxurious linens and modern appliances. You’ll find everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay, including a fully equipped kitchen, cozy living area, and comfortable bed.

What kind of sustainable features does the tiny home have?

Our tiny home is designed with sustainability in mind. It features a composting toilet, solar panels for electricity, rainwater collection, and eco-friendly cleaning products. We also provide information on how guests can minimize their environmental impact during their stay.

Is there a nearby supermarket?

The closest supermarket is in Kingscote which is a 45 minute trip by car. We recommend purchasing groceries for your stay before you arrive.

Do I need to bring drinking water?

The water at Tilly’s Rest is filtered rainwater. It is perfectly fine for washing up and brushing your teeth, but we recommend bringing some bottled or cask water for drinking.

Can I bring my dog?

Absolutely! We warmly welcome well-behaved pets who are comfortable sleeping on our enclosed deck, equipped with heaters and blinds for their comfort.

Please be aware that dogs are not allowed in the national parks, and we kindly ask that your furry friend not be left unattended at the property due to its incomplete fencing. The surrounding wildlife is precious to us, so depending on your planned activities, it might be worth considering whether your pet would be best suited to join you on this trip.
