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
Management
