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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Lovely rooms and really amazing food at the bistro and bar. The setting is picturesque and the rooms were large with lots of space (suites) Only issue is as it’s located at the marina it is a bit out of town but this served our...purposes as we were being collected from there.More

We went for dinner on recommendation of the locals on a Saturday night. The view was beautiful from inside, a bit cold outdoors for us. There is no table service although the staff were very pleasant. Nice clean environment, a little noisy inside. I had...the chicken Portabello which came with mash instead of roasted sweet potatoes? bok choy and green beans, very little sauce to speak of, not what I was expecting, so I only ate half of it, not expensive but not good enough. My husband had the expensive Fillet Mignon which he said was very nice and he would have it again. He was served the same veggies as me and he didn't like them either, they didn't compliment the dish, the 'whipped' mash was almost watery, didn't taste freshly made and the veggies, well, didn't go well with either of the dishes. Asian with Australian??? Not the best choices. I have given it a 3 stars as I will probably not rush back when I'm next in Port Lincoln, but would go with others to be social and perhaps try some seafood. The Good:- Wine list and the view The Bad :- Dry chicken no sauce and poor vegetable choices for both dishes OK:- The service and the noise level inside Tips:- Be specific when ordering and ask questions about the dishes you've chosen. Book in advance to be safe if you want a view and ask for a window seat.More

What a fabulous place to laze away a Sunday lunch into the afternoon. Seafood platter for 2 $80 and local bottle of wine $42 - service was prompt. Even had the dolphins put in an appearance.

Stayed in the Marina Hotel Ground Floor Suite for one night with my husband. The studio suite was well appointed and roomy and very thoughtfully designed with plenty of spaces to store our luggage. Huge bathroom had lovely soft and fluffy towels, the king size...bed was very comfortable with bedside tables and working lamps (a bonus) and the kitchenette had a complimentary breakfast pack supplied. Highly recommended.More

Took my Family out for dinner on Monday night and after explaining to the server that I was very highly Celiac, I was reassured that all items on the menu listed as GF would be a great option for dining. However, after eating the meal...(Grilled Whiting, chips and salad) I felt extremely ill. I have many years experience with my diagnosis and I’m well aware of what it feels like to have eaten gluten. If you going to actively advertise meals as GF and Celiac friendly, please prepare the food in in the correct way or change the menu. Extremely disappointed with the dishonest and poor food handling.More

Three people on our table had beef schnitzel and all said it was horrible. I rarely go out for dinner so it’s disappointing to say the least. I won’t be spending another dollar in the place. Our schnitzels tasted like vinegar which only happens if...the meat has spoiled. I guess the deep frying killed the bacteria but not the taste. Worst meal I’ve ever had.More

We had a fabulous view and a most enjoyable meal with friends at the Marina Hotel. Two of us ordered the pan seared tuna and when they come out the waitress was concerned that one of them didn’t have the same amount of sides so...she insisted on returning it to be served again. We wouldn’t have worried but it was great to see a staff member being aware of the difference and ensuring that diners had a comparable meal. The tuna was delicious. My husband had the King George Whiting which was a generous serving and he thoroughly enjoyed his meal. The fourth guest had a schnitzel which was huge. She enjoyed her meal also. I would recommend the Marina Hotel as a great dining experience in Port Lincoln.More
