Suburb profile
Kohinoor is a welcoming smaller community in Kangaroo Island, with a settled community character. Far from the capital hubbub, it offers genuine distance, local character and room to live at a slower pace. Generous greenery runs through the area, from street trees to tucked-away reserves.
Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with a strong presence of young families throughout. Outdoor life is easy here, with generous parks and room for kids, dogs and weekend strolls.
The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area.
