A delightful 1920's working sheep farm and bed and breakfast run by two equally delightful people, Lyn & Graham Wheaton.
We stayed with them for one night in January 2015 during a two-day visit to Kangaroo Island or K.i. as the locals call it.
This is an absolutely beautiful property located far out in the countryside where the stars are as plentiful as the sheep. This B&B features not only cozy rooms filled with antiques but gourmet meals too. There are just 4 rooms so don't expect a big crowd.
We were dropped off by our touring company around 6 and were greeted by Lyn and Graham. Dinner was scheduled for half past 7 and the night we were there we were offered our choice of salads, entrees and desserts all featuring local produce and all artfully prepared by Lyn. In the morning, an equally lavish breakfast was offered with a wide variety of fruit, yogurt, bakes, breads and eggs. Of course coffee, tea and juice as well were provided. The food here was as good as any restaurant.
After dinner Graham loaded all of us up in his Toyota truck and we went for a night time drive across the fields spotting Kangaroos and Wallabys and the odd startled sheep. A great treat.
I awoke early to the sounds of the many local birds and went outside and got some nice pictures. You can also hear the gentle bleating of sheep in the distance and you are free to hike around any of their 3,000 acres and take photos of their 6,000 or so sheep.
If you are looking for something way off the beaten path where hospitality is first rate during your stay on K.I. -look no further than this special spot.
Highly recommended. read more
