Wave Retreat - King Island
Reviews for King Island Breaks
"We had a lovely holiday here. Ayra was really friendly and helpful, and the house was immaculately clean, a beautiful cheese platter and bottle of bubbles there when we arrived, as it was our wedding anniversary during the week we were there. We were there in the winter, but the house was very warm, plenty of heaters and a wood heater as well. The kitchen was very well-provided with all the utensils etc you could want, the whole place was immaculately clean. Outside the scenery was spectacular, great views from the house, and it was nice and secluded but only ten minutes drive from Currie. We couldn't fault it, and would definitely stay here again when we come back to King Island, thanks Ayra!" - Jane-
"A majestic and peaceful stay here at Turnstone for 2 nights with family and friends. The views and rolling waves soothed heavy heads each morning with an abundance of wildlife our time on the island was complete. Many thanks to Ayra for ensuring our stay was as perfect as it was. We will be back!!- Zach, Phil, Sam and Dylan- Turnstone Beach House- Jan 2018
"Our first visit to King Island however not our last. What a wonderful part of Australia to come and explore. Lovely picturesque landscapes and pristine beaches. This house set in a great location, your own little piece of paradise." - Cunliffe and Robinson family- Wave Retreat - Jan 2018
"What a beautiful home to spend time with family and friends! Thankyou for your hospitality, memories we will treasure, lots of laughter and love on the weekend! We as BCC parents had been looking forward to this for weeks, the opportunity to see our children on Grassy BCC Campus and to stay at "Turnstone." Life doesn't get any better!" - Prue/Tony, Rod/Belinda, John/Kelly- Turnstone Beach House- Nov 2017
"Thankyou Ayra for the home made soup, eggs, wine and most of all chocolates! Holiday started badly with flight delays and missing our connection but once we arrived your thoughtful gifts and tranquility of the beach, the sea, the birds, the wallabies...All made up for it- Have been recommending Wave Retreat to friends already." - Alison and Craig- Wave Retreat- Sept 2017
"We came to King Island to say goodbye to my sister, Betty Clarke. Our daughter found Turnstone online. It was a perfect stay for our 3 year old grand daughter and us. You have a gem here at Porky Beach. We felt so much at home. Thank you so much. - Turnstone Beach House- July 2017
"We have just returned from our first visit to King Island. We were a group of six friends (3couples) and Turnstone House suited us well. From the moment of my first contact with Ayra to the email from her checking that our trip home and stay on the island had been alright. The house was beautiful, the setting in the dunes right on the beach was idyllic. The views from the house enchanting. We drove to see a different parts of the Island each day and enjoyed what we saw but the icing on the cake was returning to Turnstone, relaxing, lighting the fire, cooking a BBQ and opening a bottle of the supplied wine. The house was clean, bread and milk were provided. Reservations were made for our first night dinner and our last day lunch, nothing was too much trouble for Ayra. Thank you to the King Island Breaks team." - Pauline and Brian- Turnstone Beach House - Feb 2017
"We have been truly blessed to have stayed in such a peaceful, beautiful environment- no houses, no cars and no people to be seen as I take in the view from the kitchen! Thanks for the hot tips and very warm welcome- True KI Style. Have to put in a plug for Bischoffs Cafe- a delightful surprise." - Mickey - Wave Retreat - Jan 2017
"This is a unique place, The photos (as beautiful as they are) do not give the place justice. The house sits on a grassy headland, between two beautiful beaches. There is lots of natural light and the place is well equipped. I would definitely stay at this place again if I came back to King Island!” - Alec - Turnstone Beach House - Dec 2016
"We had a lovely time in this great "little" house. Kids ran on the beach every day and found crabs and starfish and many wonderful shells which created hours of fun! Great food, great golf and friendly people." -David and Celia -Wave Retreat Nov 2016
"The four of us had a lovely stay in this well appointed and well situated accommodation at King Island. In our 4 day stay we drove almost all roads, saw spectacular views, had great walks and generally explored the island. The informative friendly locals enhanced our pleasure greatly. The wildlife was abundant and we were glad to see yet miss them all. Thank you all for your hospitality as well as the time out to relax and discover the interesting history." - Paul and Teddy- Wave Retreat - June 2017
"What a wonderful few days we have had here in this stunning setting! The house has been fantastic and beyond expectations...A massive thank you must be extended to both Alexandra and Ayra for being so welcoming and helpful in our time here- the champagne on arrival and delivery of the beautiful crayfish were a couple of little highlights!It goes without saying that this has been a wonderful small holiday and we would love to return again at some point in the not too distant future." - James and Veronica - Turnstone Beach House - Sept 2016
"Spectacular setting, relaxing atmosphere, majestic island with fantastic coast-line. The community of King Island were welcoming and friendly. Turnstone House was more than our expectation, everything we required was available. It was so easy to sit back with a drink and enjoy the coastline." - Susan and Michael - Turnstone Beach House - Aug 2016
"So glad we saved the best for last. Staying here has been the best part of our 3 weeks in Tasmania. King Island - The scenery, the food, the friendly locals, the peace, the changeable weather...This house is so beautifully clean. Loe the house-even if we never left it, we could have sat all day and watched the ocean. We have been just SO comfortable and King Island is surplice of choice for future holidays. Stunning!!" - Don and Jenny- Wave Retreat - Apr 2016
"Weren't we the lucky ones to discover this unique eco gem. A life's dream to visit King Island now realised-Made simply perfect by the glorious accommodation. A gem in itself!! Off to see some more Turnstone. P.S Please remember us for we will return. Heartfelt love to those concerned." - Margaret and Neil- Turnstone Beach House - April 2017
"Had a great 5 day stay on K.I and a well needed getaway. Much to see and not enough time. The views from our bedroom upstairs was a sight for sore eyes every morning and relaxing next to the fire with a glass of wine on our 1st wedding anniversary was great. Watching wallaby and pheasants walk and fly past while watching the raging surf was something special."- Chris and Suzie-Wave Retreat- April 2017
