10/10 Excellent
"This was the first time we traveled to Australia and we were so fortunate to have the opportunity to stay at Ecopia Retreat in the Residence property! The Residence was beautifully decorated and the back yard was full of wildlife! It was a perfect stay for our family for 4 days. The host was always available and so friendly. The stars at night were unbelievable! Totally off the grid and relaxing and special!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Stokes Bay?
The best area to stay in Stokes Bay is directly in Stokes Bay itself, offering the most convenient access to its renowned beach.

Stokes Bay is a small, coastal settlement on the north coast of Kangaroo Island, primarily known for its sheltered beach. The main attraction is the beach, which is accessed via a fascinating rock tunnel that opens up to a calm, protected cove superb for swimming. There are generally a few holiday rentals and a campground nearby.

For families, staying in Stokes Bay is ideal due to the unique and very calm beach. The natural rock pool provides a safe environment for younger children to play, while older kids will enjoy exploring the rock tunnel. It's a great spot for a relaxed beach holiday with easy access to the water.

Couples looking for a tranquil escape will also appreciate Stokes Bay. It's a quiet location, superb for unwinding and enjoying the natural beauty of the coast away from larger towns.
When is the best time to go to Stokes Bay?
The best time to visit Stokes Bay is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.

During these months, you'll experience comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 15Ā°C to 25Ā°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like swimming, exploring the rock pools, and coastal walks. The island's natural beauty, including the unique passage to the main beach, is particularly enjoyable without the peak summer rush.

Families often find these times superb for a visit. The milder weather means children can comfortably spend long days playing on the beach and discovering marine life in the tidal pools without the intense summer heat. Accommodation prices can also be more favourable during these periods compared to the busy summer holidays.

While summer (December to February) offers the warmest swimming conditions, it's also the busiest and most expensive time, requiring bookings well in advance.
