Recommended hotels in Island Beach

1. Beachside Nature Retreat on Kangaroo Island

Island Beach

"We had a fun time with our stay, it was cozy and comfortable. The kids had a fun time watching wallabies and kangaroos and it is very close to a massive white sand beach. It was great seeing wild life around and the fire place was great. The bathroom was suprisingly spacious and comfortable to use and the whole place is complete of cookeries we needed for our stay. I definitely recommend this to couples for a get-away stay. "

Seafront Hotel Kangaroo Island

8/10 Good

"Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was large and very clean and had a great view of the ocean. Very close to the ferry, car rental company and grocery store. The staff offered suggestions on places to see kangaroos, which helped. "
