no hot water for the shower. very basic configuration. The room I booked was supposed to have a "bay view" but most of the view was covered by trees. There is not much of a view for charging extra.

Beautiful area. Great view of bay. Most staff outstanding. Only exception - male staff person at desk Friday evening was checking us out early as we were leaving before desk opened Sat AM. Tour leader for large group arrived, and rather than finish checking us out, he had the nerve to ask us to come back later after he finished with group. Fortunately, the visiting tour guide had some manners and sensibility and told him to finish with us first.

Very clean and easy check in/check out. Room was well sized and beds super comfy. Restaurants here were also the only place open for dinner in American River on some weeknights in the off season, so handy to be staying on site.

Liked: Amenities
our room was nice and roomy. excellent bed and the room was well appointed with mini kitchen, charging pads for phones and huge TV. The view of the ocean was wonderful. It is in a remote area so we had long drives to go see activities. Food at the hotel was limited and the breakfast was expensive for what was available and was not great!.They encourage not getting the room serviced but did not say what to do with the rubbish that built up over 4 days.

We were very impressed by the quality of the food in the restaurant, the incredibly friendly and helpful staff and the amazing salt water swimming pool. The darma wallabies grazing at night right next to the motel were just absolutely the classic Australiana!

The area was quiet. There was walking trails and we were able to watch some Tameer wallbys playing in the evening. The restaurant was convenient and food was good. It was easier to find your way around and go to any place on the Island. The staff was friendly and very helpful answering questions.

Such a great location for accommodation! Only 30 minute drive from the Ferry, beautiful views, such a quiet and peaceful location, really felt like you were out in nature, it was very relaxing. The room was a good size, with nice little balcony with sliding door for nice airflow. The dining options were good, staff were very friendly! Would definitely stay here again if visiting Kangaroo Island again.
