We stayed 2 nights and found the motel to be more than adequate for our needs: it was in a very convenient position with a nice outlook, the room was clean, bed comfortable, shower fine with plenty soap,shampoo etc. The continental breakfast suited us - we don't go in for big breakfasts. Yes the decor is a bit old fashioned... More

Decor round 1970, especially the bathroom which has dirt between the tiles a pathetic shower and taps that almost require a wrench to turn off. no soap in the soap dispenser - obviously something we found out too late for any help. There is a sign "Do not... More

This hotel has an excellent location - possibly the best in Kingscote. The sea front rooms are clean and spacious and the breakfast just about adequate.The staff were very helpful. However the whole complex has a tired feel to it - one felt that nothing had changed in thirty years and the owners were not planning for the future. Guest... More

My wife and I visited KI in October 2012 and based ourselves at the Seaview Motel. The motel itself is quite pleasant with a great view over Backstairs Passage and of the sunrise. Accommodation was reasonably priced and the room fairly basic, but enough to serve our purposes. Breakfast was included, which was great, however you have to eat out... More

Excellant location. Staff very helpful and not only organised the fery transfer they kept us updated only extra ferrys later arranged on our designated days. The breakfast was very basic but sufficient. We would stay here again definitely.

One of the cheaper options on KI if you stay in the guesthouse rooms where breakfast is an optional extra. Sharing the bathrooms was not a problem. The guest lounge is small and has only a microwave tho there was a flat plate BBQ outside. No real utensils for anything but basic microwave cooking. But it's central to most things... More

Stayed at the guest house part of Seaview - lovely old house, simple rooms -very quiet and on waterfront with big veranda and chairs outside, lovely place to relax and wander around Kingscote. Just across for the tidal swimming pool. BBQ area. The only thing that might put some people off is that share toilets and showers just across small... More

Thank you for a great time in a very nice motel. All good, my brother and his wife on holidays from Switzerland and my wife and I loved it. Not sure if we will be lucky enough to come back to Kangaroo Island but I would certainly stay there again.

Whilst this hotel could do with a makeover, the rooms are adequate, clean & not in disrepair. The included breakfast is nice. Cereals, juice, tea, coffee & toast. Basic but complimentary & enough to get you going in the morning. The location is fantastic. 2 blocks from the centre of Kingscote, where you can find the basics of what you... More

This motel has seen better days. Out room was clean but very dated and a bit sad. The staff at reception were very nice and the location was good but I wouldn't stay again unless I had to.
