Sea Dragon Kangaroo Island

The three nights we spent on Kangaroo Island were the highlight of the trip to Australia. The location exceeded our expectations and if you like the pictures on the website, you'll be even more impressed in person. You look out directly from your room to the beach and the AU mainland in the far distance. There are kangaroo everywhere during the day and wallabies everywhere at dusk. The arrival started with a warm greeting by Jane and she handed each of us a glass of wine before having us check in. She knew all of our names right off the bat and the warmth and professionalism was demonstrated by all of the other staff (Yasmine, Tomas, Leo, Paul and a few others that I can't remember their names!). As some others have noted, if you're on a package you'll have the full day island tour included and the other activities (lighthouse tour, honey tasting, sheep shearing, gin tasting, etc) as well. The activities vary a bit so your visit might be a bit different. The full day tour was the best day of the trip. Paul was excellent and we stopped at a cluster of trees by the road that was infested with koala -- there had to be ten or more. Then off to the arches beach that had fur seals, then to Remarkable Rocks, and a nice picnic lunch followed by a visit to the sea lion beach. It is a long day for sure and a lot of driving, but the scenery is serene and unspoiled. The dinner was included in the package and was a choice of two entrees and two desserts. Both were very good and we even used it as a way to get our picky eater to try lamb for the first time. The food was very good and several wine and beer options were also included. You could upgrade to fancier wines for added charge -- we're not wine or beer people so the included options were fine by us. The will also make a cocktail for you for added charge as well. The rooms were spacious with a living room area, an additional indoor seating area that looked over the patio to the ocean and then the outdoor patio itself. They're luxurious and clean and fresh. There are about a dozen rooms at the resort so you will only see about 20 or so people during your visit .. and may not actually see too many people elsewhere on the island either. It's definitely a remote place and you are somewhat captive so if you like the freedom to explore on your own, you might want to go with a package where the tours are not included and you drive your own car. I will have to say that this is a very expensive experience ... even if you factor in the fact that food and activities are included. But it's a priceless experience that will leave you with memories for a lifetime.

Wauw - what a place to visit. Very kind welcome from one of the owners - Karin, who is a very kind and nice person. Fantastic accomodation with the best seaview and super beds for a Good nights sleep. Big an nice bathroom and kangaroos just outside the door. Very very good restaurant - the food is soooo good and the Young spanish (Barcelona) couple in the restaurant do it fantastic. We 5 persons had some extraordinary and good days with relax at the Beach in Pink Bay, guided trips, good coffee and of course fine dining. You really do it Well there out of nowhere - 5 Big Stars from Denmark

The location is remote and far away from the main island points of interest ( nearly 2 hours drive to see Remarkable Rocks). Staff is friendly, room ha a nice view but it’s average (more a 3 stars hotel than a luxury experience they advertised). The most disappointing is the food: breakfast is basic, lunch box during a full day excursion was ridiculous and for dinner we only had a choice of 2 modest servings; furthermore the food was undercooked and very bland ( we asked in alternative a bowl of rice and the told us they didn’t have it … pathetic!) This is advertised and priced as a luxury location, the reality is more that of 3 stars hotel.
