We have regularly visited Kangaroo Island over the past 8 years and each time we call in at Fine Art Kangaroo Island. Fred, the owner, always gives a warm welcome and has a great variety of jewellery, sculptures and paintings, virtually all of which are produced on KI. If you visit Kingscote then I’d recommend calling in to view the latest pieces and have a chat with Fred.

At the time of our visit, the farm was in full bloom prior to harvest. We were immediately hit with the calming scent as soon as we stepped from the car. The shop was well stocked with local produce, they served home made goods (the quiche was excellent), local wines and delicious desserts. Who knew there were so many varieties of lavender?! Lovely staff.

Best beer I’ve had in Australia. The pale and amber are perfect for a chill island day, the staff is knowledgeable and down to earth, and the space is beautiful and all built by the brewer Mike. Staying true to the roots of craft brewing, Mike is doing an awesome job with simple yet creative brews. This is where I want to spend my days on Kangaroo Island ????

The honey farm is worth the drive through the beautiful canola fields alone. Greeted with friendly service and more info on the local unique Ligurian bees than I could take in. Amazing to see the bees in action too. Great local products on sale.
