“Well managed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

We had a great time at the All seasons Lodge. The staff were particularly friendly and more than willing to assist our every request. There was a problem with their hot-water system, but we were shown to a lodge close-by to use their bathrooms for showering, and were pampered and offered dinner and a breakfast as compensation, which made us forget about the off-site shower. I imagine it's hard to have such major appliances fixed quickly in remote location as Kangarro Island, but we really commend their efforts and the manner in which the problem was dealt with.

A cosy, clean and friendly place that I highly recommend to anyone

“A pleasent stay”

I booked this hotel as part of a Sealink ferry & stay, self-drive package. We stayed 3 nights at this hotel as a family with a 18m old baby. At first we were shown to a room with a queen bed. Before I remembered that I'd booked a room with a queen bed and a single bed. This was quickly resolved when we told the staff and we were moved to the correct room configuration. Our room had sea view in the distance, a walk-in wardrobe to put our stuff in and a kitchenette area which was handy for making up baby formula and washing up baby bottles. We asked the staff whether we can drink the tap water and they said it was fine, as they have their own filter system. So we drunk it for the time we were there and didn't have any problems. Being August time, KI was quite cold and it was especially cold in the bathroom, as it doesn't have heating in there. It felt like I was taking a shower outdoors, thank goodness the water was warm. The hotel restaurant serves excellent food, it's just a shame we didn't discover this until the final night of our stay. They also give guest 10% off the bill, but I forgot to bring the voucher. That or my baby ate it, I'm not sure which.

Room Tip: Go in winter and you almost have the whole hotel to yourself.

Dear Reviewer,
Thank you for your review. It can get very cold at night on Kangaroo Island! We recently upgraded our air conditioning systems so all rooms are cosy and warm during this time. And as mentioned in your review, all showers produce nice hot water.
Kind regards

“Hmmmm”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

people found this review helpful

The hotel was VERY run down.

It was a suprise that Accor would hold on to a property of this standard. Obviously staff are hard to secure in these remote locations so alot of consideration was given to this factor, but to feel like I had to motivate and put the spark in to the "Good Mornings" and "Enjoy your days" was annoying.

We had a lunch meal at the restaurant which was fine but using our advantage plus card for the dinner still didn't bring near compensation for the rubbish we were served. Pork belly where the skin was so under done it couldnt be eaten. Kids sauages and mash - the sausage (not eaten), looked like the meat was from chicken nuggets and squashed to replicate a sausage shape and chips on the side (not mash). My steak and local maron was served as over cooked steak (ordered med rare) with 2 prawns smothered in a BBQ sauce. A simple "I'm sorry we have run out of ........" would be fine and fully understandable given location, but when nothing is said and the plated plonked down????

Breakfast very basic and not inviting - staff didnt help.

Blocked sink in bathroom - which was fixed on notification.

Bill on checkout was wrong with many incorrect charges.
As a silver level A Club member I was most dissapointed

Dear Reviewer,
Thank you for your review. We were disappointed to read your post. Maintenance of the hotel is ongoing, we recently painted all rooms and the interior of the main building. The All Seasons Kangaroo Island Lodge is a traditional hotel offering four star facilities. We do not advertise ourselves as having modern decor as with most other city located All Seasons hotels, however our facilities are modern with flat screen TVs in all rooms and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Our decor is traditional with a warm feel, from comfortable leather couches in the bar area to wooden furniture to match in with our natural environment. The All Seasons hotels through the Accor network generally offer bright colours throughout and are generally located in cities. Given that we are in a regional location, we offer a different type of All Seasons product with more tradition. We apologise if you were mislead as to the decor of the property.
Our restaurant food is considered a high quality on Kangaroo Island so it was disappointing to hear you did not enjoy your dining experience with us. We have taken your comments on board and have made any necessary changes.
Thank you once again for your comments and please be advised we will endeavour to make changes as necessary from your review.
Kind regards
Management

Dear Reviewer,
Thank you for your review. Our website clearly states that the 2 bedroom suites are two interconnecting Waterview rooms. We have had fantatsic feedback from guests that they enjoy having a separate room from their other travelling party but still with the security access of one room.
We do apologise that one room was not up to your standards. Please note we have spoken to housekeeping about this issue.
As we are located in a remote area it can sometimes be difficult to get adequate supplies on time as we are reliant on transport services to and from the Island. We offer a very extensive menu in our restaurant so unfortunately at times we cannot offer a full menu due to these reasons. This is out of our control and we apologise if a preferred meal was unavailable.
Kind regards
