I stayed for 1 night at the Kangaroo Island Seafront hotel as part of my 2 day Sealink tour of Kangaroo Island. This hotel is simply outstanding. The rooms, the location, the friendly staff, the food. This is simply one of the best boutique hotels I have stayed in anywhere in the world and I would highly recommend it to... More

We've been here a few times but was not aware of the garden villas.I've had fond memories of seeing penguins across the road and walking down the main road so naturally I booked the room at the front facing the park and sea. We had a conference on KI and I put the rest of our team in the garden... More

This seafront hotel is not to be taken on photo value. An excellent photoshop has led us innocent travellers to believe it is of 4 star class instead of 2 star class. The rooms have been cheaply renovated with a small balcony that has no shelter from the sun at all, making it very unpleasant to sit outside. Evening meals... More

We stayed one night here in March, 2012, as part of a package with Great Southern Rail going on The Ghan from Darwin to Adelaide and onto Kangaroo Island. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the Seafront Rom was great with a very comfortable king bed and outside setting. Breakfast the next morning was delicious.

The garden villas really were a lovely surprise. Like little A frame houses but with an almost Japanese feel once the doors were opened. You entered into a lounge come small kitchenette area and beyond that was a beautifully appointed bedroom and bathroom. We loved the decor and found our whole stay very comfortable. Be careful on the garden paths... More

Stayed 3 nights in January 2012 and thoroughly enjoyed the place. Room was spotless, well appointed and exactly as advertised. Bed great, balcony great, aircon great. Staff were polite, honest, courteous and attentive and exhibit that 'nothing is too much trouble' attitude that is so rare these days. View from the room stunning. Continental breakfast hearty and unfussed. It was... More

This was my first trip to Kangaroo Island (KI). It is beautiful, very rural and based around nature and wildlife. But that is one of the reasons we chose KI. To me it is more of a 'hotel' than a 'resort'. The photos that are on the internet spruce it up to more than what it looks like in person.... More

Kangaroo Island is suffering from the recession in late 2011, but despite the cutbacks the Seafront Resort is a very nice place to be. It is about 30 KM out on a peninsula, so your mileage can add up, but the tranquality and friendliness of the area more than make up for the distance. We enjoyed a great breakfast, and... More
