THE PROPERTY
Still Windy is situated on a 100 Ha bush block with large stands of remnant vegetation including sugar gum woodlands and yacca grasslands. White Tree Creek meanders through the middle of the property and provides a delightful guide to follow for bush walks or secluded picnics.
Native wildlife abounds on the property and it is common to see kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, wedge-tailed eagles and goannas.
The more dedicated nature lover may also see stone curlews, pygmy possums, boobook owls and glossy-black cockatoos. In Spring time there are abundant wildflowers and native orchids throughout the valley.
There are at least two nesting Glossy-black cockatoos on the property and we have an ongoing re-vegetation program designed to provide shelter and forage trees for these critically endangered birds.
At nearby Snelling Beach you may see dolphins, sea eagles, hooded plovers and the occasional fur seal.
If you'd like to help us keep track of local rainfall you can read the rain gauge and enter it into the Visitor book.
DOG FRIENDLY CONDITIONS OF STAY
Dogs are very welcome at Still Windy, both outside and inside the house, and there are a few things for guests to note.
We charge an extra $25 per stay for guests bringing dogs.
The house and the property are not fenced in a way that will prevent dogs from running away or travelling onto other properties and our neighbours with chickens or livestock will not appreciate a visit from an unknown dog.
It is therefore the responsibility of the guest to ensure the safety and well being of their dog at all times and for the dog to always be under effective control.
Dogs must be left outside if guests leave the property without them and a shaded enclosure is provided which may be easily moved around to a suitable location.
Guests are welcome to walk their dogs anywhere within the property boundaries but need to be aware they may encounter snakes or large kangaroos. Kangaroo Island Council requires dogs to be on leads at all times when on the beach.
When inside the house dogs must remain at floor level at all times. Please bring dog bedding but note that bowls for food and water are supplied.
We appreciate your cooperation and welcome you and your best friend to Still Windy.
LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
The north coast is more sheltered than the south and provides ample opportunities for water-based activities like swimming, surfing, snorkelling, diving, beach-walking and fishing in the local marine parks. Still Windy is also the perfect base for exploring the iconic Flinders Chase National Park and the Seal Bay Conservation Park.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
Highly recommend. Set in serene countryside looking toward the sea. Wish we had longer. Thank you.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
The house was comfortable with plenty of natural light... the house is on a property a short drive off the road ... very quiet and peaceful . We were visited by lots of magpies ( around 30 in the paddock) On our last night we had a very special visitor ... a koala that walked past the cloth line and up into the gum tree for a snack
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
Fabulous spot close to Snelling Beach and the Fig Tree where we enjoyed a long degustation lunch under an enormous fig tree (book well in advance if you want to eat there). Still Windy is well appointed for a comfortable couples stay and the complimentary wine was a nice additional touch. Friendly kangaroos around us in the morning and evening. I swear, one even waved at us! Great communication with Robyn checking our safe arrival. Will be letting our friends know of this hidden gem.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2025
Appreciated the location, size, outlook, design, amenities as all very nice. All 4 star …. The shower grouting could also use a thorough scrub!However, in communication with the owner/proprietor/host (not present) incredibly surprised to read that their priorities are with “self and staff”, and not the paying customer. Specifically, upon requesting a reasonable 30/60minute late checkout was advised that they “manage the property in the way that works best for us and our staff”. No mention of guests???This was terribly surprising given that we checked availability and found the property was not even booked for that night!
