As part of a 5 day tour, our group spent 2 nights at the Seaside Inn at Kingscote. Everyone was pleasantly surprised to have rooms with excellent views of the ocean, were tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and beds comfortable. Owners Chris and Alex couldn't do enough to ensure every member of our party were well looked after. Dinner in the restaurant was enjoyed by everyone in the group. Chris assisted to help organise our group's excellent experience of the Island and we'd highly recommend their motel to others.

My husband & I stayed here for one night, one night too many. When we checked in, the guy behind the reception desk was more interested in getting us to spend money in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast the next day. There was no mention that our room included a full breakfast! The room was good, plenty of room and the views were very nice. Unfortunately the bathroom was very small and to my horror "a shower curtain"! Of all the motels were stayed in on our week long trip, this was the only room that had a shower curtain. I haven't seen one of them for years and thought they were well & truly outdated. As for privacy, well there was none! We had kids from the rooms either side of us looking in through the window all afternoon until I closed the curtain which also closed the view. We could also hear talking in the room next to us and when we went to bed I could hear snoring all through the night. We had dinner in the restaurant which was quite nice but a little over priced for home cooking. We eventually got our "free full breakfast" the next day after the owner made well & truly sure we weren't ripping him off. Breakfast was disappointing, ordered fried eggs & bacon - got two eggs, one slice of toast, two tiny strips of bacon & a 1/4 wedge of tomato! I've had better! I found the staff were more interested in getting as much of our money as possible than making sure we had an enjoyable stay.

Excellent seaview from the room or balcony, across Nepean Bay. Staff were helpful and keen to make the 2 night stay pleasant. A change of ownership had occurred the day we arrived so the restaurant was not available for an evening meal but they provided a list of alternative locations. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. When making the booking over the internet some of the room options were “sold out” so we had to upgrade to a more expensive option which was disappointing for this time of the year. Interesting that there were only a few guests in total staying at the Lodge? Despite the “sold out” info on the website??
Kangaroo is a wonderful, almost unspoilt location and certainly worth a visit, but check options before you get stung.

The staff is very friendly... more like mom & pop than hotel staff. The food and wine was decent and the room was comfortable. We stayed for two nights during the summer and enjoyed ourselves. Our tour bus picked us up directly from the hotel - so I didn't get to see much of the surrounding area.

Overall - I would recommend this place to stay. It's nothing fancy at all, but comfortable and clean. The decor is terribly out-dated and everything pretty average. Nothing bad to say at all.
