Facilities were great. They cook a mean steak (Friday steak night). Room was very comfortable with plenty of room to move. Front of house service was excellent with staff being very polite. Location has a great viwe of the bay with only a short walk to the main street.

We have enjoyed 4 nights here, very friendly people, laundry with dryers which run on an honor system. Very clean, lovely views over the water, comfortable pillows, very important. And now free wifi in the rooms. Also a restaurant that serves good food.

The motel is one with friendly service staff, a great restaurant and really clean rooms. It is located only 10 min (leisurely stroll) walk to the main stretch of Kingscote shops/cafes and all rooms on the second floor have an unobstructed view of the ocean - a beautiful sight to wake up to. There is also free wifi in the... More

The motel is a short distance out of Kingscote township. This is not an issue if you have a car or don't mind a walk of about one km (or less). The water views are a good trade off. We ate in the restaurant and enjoyed a good quality meal - better than expected. The motel is clean, but showing... More

First of all I must apologise for taking so long to write this review. I can't believe it has been nearly 2 months since 14 of us all stayed at your beautiful motel. The rooms are clean and very spacious. What impressed us all (and we have all been in hospitality for a long time) the service, the fact that... More

This is a lovely seaside inn with a gorgeous view and quiet beautiful surroundings. Kingscote is a great central location for all travels around the island. The owners couldn't be more welcoming and helpful, the rooms are immaculately kept and quite large and comfortable and the restaurant menu is wonderful. Easy walking distance in to town, a welcome change after... More

We were with a large group over for the races. The owners and their staff were friendly and the service was excellent. Food in the restaurant was fantastic. With lots of local fresh ingredients. Attention to our group was second to none. Would highly recommend

What a view - we had room 11 and it was a fab view across the bay. The room was fine, a bit dated, but spacious and spotlessly clean and comfortable. Amazing breakfast, lovely homemade museli and great fresh fruit selection, along with beautiful homemade choclate muffins and hot quiche, all delicious. A pleasant walk around the bay into the...

Stayed with a group of friends recently. Waking up to the beautiful waterfront view was superb. Rooms were spacious and clean. The breakfast was plentiful and the homemade muffins and yoghurt with freshly picked blueberries were delicious. The hot selection was varied daily and always freshly cooked. We stayed for three nights and as a group of 14 dined in... More

I stayed here partly because I also require the Internet to do my travel blog and write reviews. They advertised free Internet. Untrue. In addition after paying a fortune it was so slow that I maxed my quota. This completely put me off staying here. The rooms are fine and the son Alex was very nice but his father was... More

Hi Paul, Our Internet is FREE in the restaurant and reception as advertised on our website. When you booked on our website you would have clearly seen "FREE Wi-Fi in the restaurant and Wi-Fi with charge in the rooms". In your room you purchased a 7 day pass with 1.2 GB download.
