Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We absolutely loved our visit to Emu Ridge Distillery! The coffee was fantastic, and the damper with native jam was so delicious. The customer service was outstanding super friendly and welcoming. It’s great to see such a diverse range of people working there too!

    The gift shop was one of the best we found on the island, full of local Kangaroo Island goodies like eucalyptus oil, honey, jams, and beautiful locally made products. It's a family-owned business, and you can really feel the care they put into everything.

    The cafe was perfect for our family (two little kids and a grandparent). And the highlight? They had a kangaroo they’d rescued with a joey in its pouch our kids couldn’t stop talking about it!

    This place is a must-visit. Great food, great shopping, and such a special experience. đź’•

    Service was very good and the bar person provided excellent information and some good banter as well. Sat outside to enjoy the over and taste our paddles. Really enjoyed the variety of brews available. A very pleasant afternoon experience.

    We had the best time here. The hostess was more than accomadating with the tasting and service. Left with a dozen bottlez shipped back to Melb. The environment was beautiful and so relaxing. Well worth dropping in.

    Tasty food with some lovely twists with beautiful tomatoes and mushroom with the big breakfast. Vegetarian options. Hearty breakfast and lovely setting. Interesting products, although we did not purchase. Very busy, so book in.

    We did the five-day tour of Kangaroo Island and it was incredible! I've been to many amazing places (Alaska, Europe, Korea, Hawaii, etc) with great tour companies and cruises and this was the best travel experience I've every had!!

    Kangaroo Island Trails customized the experience for the four of us (two couples) and they far exceeded my expectations. The price was very reasonable with great accommodations and all our transportation to and from the island covered in the price. A fantastic deal!

    I spent a fabulous 2 days touring Kangaroo Island with guide Nikki Redman. Nikki’s professionalism and knowledge was outstanding and her passion for the island contagious. Touring with a small group meant we were able to get off the beaten track to see the best of the island’s wildlife in their natural habitat as well as experiencing the magnificent scenery KI has to offer. The lunches and quality of transportation were all great. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and the tour well and truly exceeded my expectations.

    I have this thing about honey shops and guess what, I made a bee-line (excuse the pun) for the Clifford's Honey Farm.

    This family run business is right at the end of a fairly rugged rural track which is worth the detour and the rutted dirt that you kick up. I find it really wonderful to see a family business like this, because honey is such a magical treat of nature.

    The showroom was empty, but two lovely ladies staffed the shop with smiles and lots of helpful tips. Being that we came in from Western Australia and that we could not take any honey back home with us, for biosecurity and quarantine reasons, we still got into the tastings.

    Most of their honey traces its origin back to the "mallee" tree, a species of eucalypts which grows with multiple stems that emanate out from the base of the tree. I tried the Coastal Mallee Honey first which was a light honeycomb flavour and delicious. But the next one I tasted was the Purple-Flowered Mallee. This was my winner. It had a really great toffee-like taste.

    The history room downstairs was interesting, but I could not help feeling the whole space looked more like a Year 3 classroom, than a retail shop. It would have made the room infinitely more appealing to have it dressed out professionally. Trust me, I've been to many "honey shops" and you could apply many lessons from them to here.

    Nonetheless, I like my time here. It was informative and fun.

    A very interesting and insightful tour. Noah was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting facts. The honey tasting was very educational, who knew there was such a variety of honey from savoury to bitter notes and sweet. The ice cream was a hit. Many thanks.
