As suggested by its name, this hotel is extremely well-situated overlooking probably one of the best parts of the coastline of Kangaroo Island. We were not disappointed at all that we didn't stay in a seafront room, because the chalet style room is amazingly impressive: clean, stylistic and well-maintained. You can go for a walk along the coast in the... More

This place definitely is NOT (or should not) be a 4 star hotel. Photos on website are very tricky and possibly photoshopped, seafront rooms are tiny (book a garden villa). Maybe if everything was cleaned, operating properly, it might make a 3.5 star. - 'King bed' = two singles pushed together, hardly a 'king'. Very uncomfortable. No main room light.... More

We stayed at the Kangaroo Island Seafront Resort for 5 days, and had a great time. It is the ideal accommodation in this pristine location, and a great base from which to explore this idyllic island. It is very comfortable, and the staff are pleasant and helpful. There are good restaurants close by. The accommodation is close by the main... More

Seafront is so close to the ferry terminal we almost drove by, especially as the name is obscured on the sign. However we enjoyed two nights in a good sized villa which is also only 50 metres from the Penneshaw Hotel - the only real dining option in that area. Make sure that you book breakfast at Seafront (or byo... More

Had a one night stay here in April, wish it had been 2. Fantastic location on the waterfront and Penneshaw is a lovely town and area. Service was good, friendly and efficient. Had a ground floor seafront room, nothing outstanding but nice and clean, very comfortable and well appointed, no complaints. Villa rooms looked really cool too, more private and... More

This was our second time to the Kangaroo Island Seafront and I will be sure to go back for a third. We stayed in a Garden Villa as part of a package that included the ferry, breakfast and a dinner voucher and it was great (and saved us money which is always a bonus). The room was clean and inviting... More

We had a pleasant stay at the Seafront hotel in a room on the ground floor facing the sea. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious so perfectly adequate for our needs. The spa was not working but we managed to use the (basic) sauna. We went on the nocturnal tour booked through the hotel which ended up basically being... More

Stayed 2 nights while on Kangaroo Island, the renovated Seafront rooms were very clean with modern decor. Included buffet breakfast was nice and had a good selection of food. Would happily stay there again.
