This was a fantastic stay at a wonderful property and location. The accommodation itself was generously proportioned and well-appointed. The all-inclusive breakfast/dinner/alcohol package was great value and the nightly meals were sensational. The property itself is situated in a beautiful, isolated part of the Cape Willoughby peninsula and the private beach area was a great place to retreat. Boundless wildlife as well enhanced the stay.

Arriving at night by hire car, there is little to no lighting or visible signage to indicate location. And mobile phone service not available.

Secluded, but never too far from options

Nothing to dislike.

The property staff was excellent. We were made to feel special from the moment we arrived until our departure. The location is excellent, especially for kangaroo watching. We had an excellent day long nature tour with Paul. Thank you Jane for all you do.

For a 5 star hotel, I think there is ample space for improvement in the overall look of the property, even if the desired outcome is to limit impact on the environment (e.g. a better job at tucking away pipes and cables, aiming for a neater yet natural look for the pathways to get around the property). Breakfast was ok, but not great variety of fresh produce (comparing to their price bracket) and this would be the first time where coffee isn’t offered by the staff - Not a problem in itself, but a comment on standards. The lack of any gym facilities were a small letdown, although offset by the many organised outdoor evelllllyactivities on offer. Lastly, there were no displayed options for vegeterians payong half board. Whilst they can accomodate dietary options, it was very hard for me to choose and expees likes / doslikes.

The location is absolutely amazing, remote, and yet teeming with (wild)life, secluded and comfortable, and an overall unique experience. For animal lovers, the cabins are an absolute dream: you are guaranteed to see dozens of kangaroos. The view onto the ocean and the beach are amazing. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. The staff was nice and friendly.

We think some of the facilities weren’t complete yet, eg power switches that did nothing and shelving on an angle.

The view is stunning. The place is beautiful and the staff lovely.

We had a fabulous stay and loved every aspect of it. Staff and owner were very attentive and helpful. Our own lodge was beautiful and having kangaroos outside our windows at dawn and dusk was very special.

Fantastic views, wine and food! The private beach was perfect for our private picnic. A great place to switch off and unwind.

Kangaroo island is quite large and it takes 2 hours to drive to the far end of the island. However the scenery is great and the roads are well kept and not busy when we were staying in August.

Location is beautiful with great views over the Backstairs passage to the Fleurieu peninsula on the mainland. Easy to get to from penneshaw. We were well fed and all staff were helpful and attentive.

Paradise retreat and absolutely the loveliest people. I am already planning the 30 hour trip to Australia again to return here. Nature, luxury and kangaroos everywhere.

Dining experience was good but lacked ambience with current renovations. I have no doubt that when completed this will be overcome

Location and views

Stayed in July 2024

we would have rented a car had we known quite how difficult transportation is on the island. It would have been nice to have a way to easily purchase some grocery supplies for lunch/cocktails. Had a great kitchen that we didn't really use.

service and staff were outstanding. the location was spectacular, very quiet and peaceful and beautiful. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and went out of their way to accommodate transportation for us. Breakfast and dinner were fantastic. Exceptional food. Really enjoyed getting to know other guests. Loved small feel with just a few other groups. Made it feel very personal, welcoming and very relaxing. Filipo was an amazing tour of the island guide! Loved our day out with him and another couple from Sea Dragon.

Too far from almost everything.

Total relaxation watching kangaroo while sipping wine off your balcony. Or walk through brush to view in a more natural environment. And best beds ever. Very good breakfast and great dinner.

Three night stay was too short.

The location is incredible, the manager and staff are the perfect hosts. The food is awesome. The accommodation is beautiful and the views are superb.

The only slight negative is that I would not call this a "luxury" property. It is very nice, and the setting and wildlife more than make up for the slightly rustic feel.

This property is in an incredible location, with fantastic views and wildlife (there were lots of kangaroos on the grounds). The food (breakfast and dinner) was delicious, and staff (including the owner) were very personable and helpful. Our room was very comfortable, with a nice balcony and view. We also had a great full-day tour.
