Agent's comments: Emu Bay has for a long time been regarded as a 'Blue Chip' real estate location for Kangaroo Island. The Emu Bay region continues to be a sought after destination, with drive on access to one of KI's most magnificent & safest swimming beaches. The fishing in and around Emu Bay is exceptional with large King George Whiting & bumper sized Snapper commonly caught. The Emu Bay Boat ramp is right now undergoing a million dollar upgrade. Recently Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull officially opened the new $18 million dollar airport expansion, making KI more accessible to the eastern states. There are also numerous other projects on the drawing board which are highly likely to increase demand for residential & holiday rental accommodation especially in popular Emu Bay.
