After an excellent dinner, which would have graced any fine dining restaurant, Paul took us for an off road look at the local wildlife by car headlamps, which was magical.
Breakfast was a splendid as our dinner the night before.
I cannot recommend Molly's Run highly enough.

We are then taken for a wildlife night tour, Kangeroo, wallaby and possum in abundance. A very comfortable room gave us a great nights sleep. Breakfast was a home made affair of Charmaine's baking and Paul's famous banana pancakes. I can't remember the last time I felt compelled to hug my hosts goodbye. More

Breakfast was equally impressive, Paul makes the most delicious banana pancakes. The variety at breakfast was excellent and set up for a good days touring. The real special highlight was the after dinner drive to see the animals come alive, possums, wallabies and Kangaroos. In the morning Kevin the resident Koala made an appearance. Five stars is not enough for this accommodation. Could not recommend highly enough.

Charmaine and Paul, well what can I say. It’s like seeing friends you haven’t seen for a while. They immediately make you feel at home and within minutes you’re chatting away like you’ve known them forever. Charmaines cooking is indescribable and without doubt the best food we’ve had in Australia. It’s definitely gourmet and she makes her own pickles and jams as well. Paul insisted that after dinner we go out in his 4x4 to look for kangaroos and we saw loads of them up really close too. He said he’d been going out at night for about 5 years and that it took the animals about 2 years to feel safe and comfortable with his presence. He obviously really enjoys showing guests and making their experience special. They really are the most hospitable couple I’ve ever met. I would recommend staying at least 3 nights so that you can enjoy the island at leisure and spend more time with this lovely couple . Oh and I mustn’t forget Molly the dog. More

  Molly's Run was an amazing, beautiful, homey place to spend a few days. To call it a B&B doesn't quite cover it. A lovely old Italianate villa on a beautiful... read more bay on Kangaroo Island has been lovingly converted for guest accommodations. The owners, Paul and Charmaine, make you feel like family. That sounds like a cliche, but in this case it held true. I was welcomed with a hug and, from day one, it felt more like sitting around a cozy fire in the evenings with old friends than it did a commercial accommodation. I had the balcony room, so I began and ended each day with stunning sunrise and sunset views of the bay. The basic facts for fellow travelers: My bed was supremely comfortable. The bathroom was not large, but perfectly functional and well appointed with amenities and plenty of big towels. Fluffy robes and slippers are provided. Everything was spotlessly clean and well thought out for guests' comfort. My room had its own control for a/c and heat. All was nice and comfy. But, going way above and beyond the individual rooms, is the rest of the beautiful villa. The lounge was furnished with curl-up-and-sink-into furniture around an always crackling fire. The courtyard and surrounding gardens are lovely and well cared for. The open-plan ground floor allows the lounge to flow into the dining room, where Charmaine serves up truly gourmet meals. Breakfast was fabulous with a wonderful array of fresh fruits, yogurt, cereals, home-baked breads, etc. and Charmaine standing by to cook up anything you want. And if Paul is in pancake-making mode, take him up on his banana pancakes. Almost worth the plane fare from the U.S. all by themselves! Charmaine's multi-course dinners are gorgeous, varied, and healthy, using fresh local produce, seafood, meats, etc. Her fresh-baked breads are a delight. Truly we are talking gourmet-level cooking, but presented in a relaxed atmosphere in a homey setting. She's able to accommodate special dietary requests, if needed, and briefly conferred with me each day on what I might like that evening. I basically said, "Bring it on," and just let her plan her fabulous menus. From starter to dessert, it was always delicious and beautifully prepared. Paul and Charmaine obviously love what they do and excel at making guests feel like very welcome old friends. I traveled around Australia for 4 weeks and my few days at Molly's Run were truly a highlight of my trip.
