We took our Scottish friends to this fabulous location and stayed in Seymour cottage for 2 nights. The drive there does involve a bit of 'dirt road', but that shouldn't put you off. The two cottages (both identical) can house about 8 people, so it's ideal for families or two couples travelling together as we were.. however, there's only one... More

The time we stayed in this location for 1 night in April 2012 we found it very spacious and clean, the accommodation was fantastic. The Views and the solitude was worth every penny. The people we met where all so very friendly. At sunset we went for a walk to take in the whole ambiance of this location and take... More

We stayed at Seymour Cottage for 6 nights and it was a great base for our KI holiday. The cottage had plenty of space, beds, facilities and was very well maintained which made for a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The local roos were a treat especially when they greeted us each night on our return. The views were spectacular... More

An idyllic setting in which to take time away from the 'real' world. The scenery is breath-taking, the wildlife is fascinating, and the peace and tranquility are priceless. Not to mention the staff who are friendly, helpful and obliging.

We had 5 nights in restored lighthouse keeper cottages reun by by the South Australian Government and they were fantastic. the 5 night stay also gave us a free National parks pass which was excellent value. The cottages were very spacious and had ample beds and bedding. The views were amazing, enhanced by the tour of the lighthouse. We had... More

We stayed at all three lightkeeper’s cottages on Kangaroo Island managed by the National Parks and all were of a high standard and spotlessly clean. Cape Willoughby offers views back to the mainland and interesting walks on the Dudley Peninsula. In good weather Antechamber Bay is the place to be. If the weather kicks up a visit to the local...

We were going to be hosts to a couple of German friends, and during a brief trip to KI, we wanted to find accommodation in an environment that would be different, interesting, uniquely Australian, and comfortable. Our night in Seymour Cottage met all four of these criteria admirably ! We thought the house was beautifully restored, well-set up, and the... More
