On site restaurant was good. Room was clean and simple, extra bed was brought in so three of us could stay. Extra amenities like wine, cookies and crisps were much appreciated. Definitely recommend for overnighting on Kangaroo Island. ##### Alicia Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 31 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely stay on Kangaroo Island Overall, beautiful view and appeared clean. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Cecilia 28 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I like that it has a welcome drink and nibbles. ##### Cecilia Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jingyi 5 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very friendly staff. ##### Jingyi Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yorai 7 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly, attentive staff. ##### Yorai Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sonya 7 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were great, the sliding door to bathroom was out of alignment when we got to our room after maintenance had gone home, one of the kitchen staff got some tools out of his car and fixed it so it didn’t jam during the night, much appreciated ##### Sonya Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Naphassanan 28 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good clean and quiet area ##### Naphassanan Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda 24 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 2 Night stay Such lovely and helpful staff!

We had great stay during low season with amazing staff. Unfortunately due to mother nature we had to leave the island 1 day early ... Our room was held incase no ferry was available . Great real fire to sit around and have a drink in the bar . ##### Michael Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Igor 28 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were very impressed by the quality of the food in the restaurant, the incredibly friendly and helpful staff and the amazing salt water swimming pool. The darma wallabies grazing at night right next to the motel were just absolutely the classic Australiana! ##### Igor Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sylvia 7 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Opposite end of island from Seal Bay and Flinders Chase but still great for wildlife.
