Ocean and beach views

Soak up the views during your stay.
It is no surprise that Alchemy is the most popular beach house on Island Beach, Kangaroo Island. When our guests walk in they have one word - STUNNING. The water views are breathtaking, uninterrupted and endless. The swimming is divine. The large windows with cafe sliding doors and deck make for great marine wildlife watching, with your morning Nespresso, pass the day relaxing with your book, sunning on the beach, or feasting on the fresh and simply amazing local food!

The space
Escape to this absolute beachfront location, with spectacular 180 degree views, it truly does not get better than this! So close to the beach you can chill out on the deck and see the entire cove. Only 50 steps from the deck to the gentle lapping water of this spectacular safe swimming beach. Our place is Special!

The sandy path to the beach opens to white powder sand and crystal clear water, with over 3 kms of glorious beach for tranquil walks, invigorating runs, or just fossicking.

Island Beach is the best keep secret in Australia, and some would argue the world.

Just a 15 minute drive from the ferry makes for the perfect location to base yourself for your immersion into nature's paradise... that is if you can pull yourself away from the spoils of Alchemy and the exhilaration of Island Beach.

We look forward to having you stay at Alchemy on Island Beach and enjoy it as much as we do. The only complaint we have from our guests is ... "I wish we would have stayed longer!"

Guest access

Lives in Adelaide, Australia
Moving to Australia from Canada many years ago, one of my first South Australia experiences was sailing from Adelaide to Island Beach, Kangaroo Island. We found the beachfront land, and Alchemy on Island Beach was built. My satisfaction comes from sharing this spot, our house and the pristine beauty of Kangaroo Island. Riverside Pretty House Circa1947 is our new addition. A very special house in Medicine Hat, in the best suburb of Riverside!
