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.

We booked king room with water view to stay for 3 nights 4 days to celebrate our wedding anniversary. On third day we discovered scaffolding erected obstructing view and incredible buider noise fron assembling the scaffolding. There was no notice, no apology, no explanation from the staff.
Not happy at all, they could have handled better!

We were arriving after reception had closed and were given a convenient option to collect keys and a map to find our garden room easily. The room was spacious and clean, I only hope that they upgrade to having real coffee available in the rooms…nescafe is not an option.

We had a one night stay after all ferries were cancelled. I was happy with the property description of the garden villa we booked. It was a lovely spacious clean villa. The bathroom and kitchen were really lovely and big bed was comfy and lots of extra pillows and blankets.
Sofa bed in lounge could do with updating as it’s pretty tired. The main building is a bit empty and soulless but we ate at the great penneshaw pub anyway.

We only stayed here on night, but it would have been easy to stay longer. Our basic room was quite nice and pretty large. All rooms have an ocean view and there is a nice walking path just across the street. Its about 1.2 km walk to the ferry, and very close to the main restaurant bar. Also very close to Hertz - Thrifty rental car. The hotel itself has a nice little cafe attached and is up on a bluff, so has a very nice vista . Staff were very helpful and accomodating. Nothing not to like!

I am sure a stay at this property is perfectly lovely but I do not recommend booking in advance! My ferry was canceled due to gale warnings and I could not make it to Kangaroo Island for my booking. I notified the property one day in advance (as soon as I learned of the ferry cancellation), but they did not provide a refund. They offered to give me credit, which I am unable to use.

Property is nice and close to the ferry. Walking distance to the Pub and the fantastic 'Shy Wren' bar and restaurant.

Upon arrival, the room was heavily perfumed. This turned out to be because the previous occupants were smoking and the room stunk of cigarette smoke once the perfume smell subsided. Staff did everything possible to assist us and moved us to another room which was great. The cleaner even apologised to us personally, saying she thought the issue was fixed.

Room had everything we needed.

However it was disconcerting to find on check in that the dining room wasn’t open for dinner for the duration of our stay. Also, we were required to book in for breakfast but they were booked out. It would have been OK if we’d been offered a pack of cereal! The room was not serviced until we requested it and even the, the dishes weren’t washed. The stairwell was not clean.

Checkin great. We had a villa at rear of main building. Immediately noticed gardens very untidy with dead trees evident and leaves and flowers all over the paths.Deck to villa dirty as was table. Shower would not stop dripping and got worse over our stay. Carpet adjacent to bathroom wet and smelly. Staff were informed and were told maintenance staff on holidays. We expected far more

There is no ramp only stairs. Difficult for wheelchairs, strollers and luggages since there is no ramp from the parking lot to the hotel. Conveniently located, near the ferry terminal, gas station, convenient store and restaurants.
