Nestled on a pristine, secluded north-facing beach, the One Kangaroo Island estate offers two extraordinary private homes. Owned and hosted by passionate locals Hugh and Coreena Rischbieth, these properties provide an effortless blend of absolute beachfront luxury and total immersion in Kangaroo Island’s wild, unspoilt landscape. Located just 20 minutes from Kingscote Airport and 10 minutes from Penneshaw, their easy access beautifully contrasts with an immediate sense of privacy and isolation. Both homes deliver panoramic ocean views, private white-sand beach access, and an unparalleled connection to nature.
One KI
Experience unparalleled luxury at One KI, an architectural eco-masterpiece and one of Australia’s most exclusive coastal sanctuaries. Designed for total exclusivity with no shared spaces, this retreat accommodates up to eight guests across four luxurious king ensuite bedrooms, each featuring underfloor heating.
Vast walls of glass dissolve the barrier between you and the wild landscape, opening onto 270m² of infinity decking where you can unwind in a lavish outdoor bath overlooking the ocean or step directly onto the pristine sand. The layout is open and elegant, featuring dual lounge areas and a private library for ultimate relaxation.
One KI is available solely as a fully hosted, all-inclusive signature experience. Your hosts ensure seamless service, including daily housekeeping, while an on-site private chef prepares exquisite three-course dinners nightly, perfectly paired with a curated selection of premium Kangaroo Island and South Australian wines. Welcoming adults and children aged six and over, One KI offers a world-class coastal sanctuary where untouched nature meets modern refinement.
Walcowrie
Walcowrie is the estate’s beautiful sister property, offering a relaxed, spacious design that perfectly captures the essence of a premium Australian beach and bush holiday. Positioned on the same absolute beachfront, this retreat provides uninterrupted ocean views and direct access to the vibrant coastal environment just steps from the door.
Designed with large groups in mind, Walcowrie accommodates up to ten guests across five generous bedrooms, featuring three ensuite bathrooms and a stunning outdoor bath and shower. With no age restrictions, it is exceptionally family-friendly and the perfect flexible space for multi-generational travel. Two lounge areas and expansive infinity decking provide generous room for entertaining, relaxing, and wildlife watching—expect to share your surroundings with dolphins, wallabies, pelicans, echidnas, and rays.
Walcowrie is offered on a premium self-contained basis. Your stay begins with a personal welcome and orientation from Hugh and Coreena, alongside a thoughtful selection of gourmet arrival provisions, including breakfast items, snacks, and a welcome bottle of premium local wine. Guests have full use of the excellent kitchen and BBQ facilities, as well as complimentary access to kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkelling gear to explore the vibrant offshore reef.
