All Great!”

Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat Resort has spacious rooms that is well designed, with plenty of room to move around its grounds. The most important is that it is a top resort at affordable prices near Flinders Chase National Park, a must-visit place on Kangaroo Island, with Admiral Arch and Remarkable Rocks.

Could be much better - no recommendation for friends”

The location gives easier access to many beautiful sights. The resort itself is a little run down and is dire need of a refresh. The rooms are small, dark and pokey. The staff were not very helpful although the 'backpackers' serving int he restaurant did make an effort. Although this probably came from their own experiences not necessarily trained by the resort. Dinner is between 6:30 and 8:30. you have to book a slot. Trying to work in a dinner around a sunset at one of the beautiful locations around was difficult. Staff were unresponsive to emails and phone messages. We stayed in another accomodation on KI for 3 nights for the same price as 2 nights at the resort and was 10 times better.

Very convenient to Flinders Chase Pk”

Very convenient to the beautiful Flinders Chase Park. If you want to day hike and be early enough to see all of the animals or walk any trail privately, thus is perfect. The restaurant is quite good as well, so you can sit tight for meals. It’s very quiet and remote and has nice trails on the property. This was a great bush stay for us!

Very good”

Great location, relaxing setting, the bush right at your back patio. Night walk with "Nature" was terrific. Petrol tank on site is a big plus since resort is located many kilos from civilization, but right next door to the National Park. Food was excellent, but expensive and very small portioned. No wifi in room, only (limited) access in lobby area.

Near-Perfection in the Wilderness”

Perfect location -- at the west end of the island and right in the heart of what many of us travelers go to KI for: Remarkable Rocks and wildlife. Just be ready for the long drive back to the ferry..... The restaurant staff, in particular, worked hard to make everyone happy.

good for family and couples”

Been in the hotel twice within a year. Once with my parents in family room, the other with my BF in a standard room. The family room even got a kitchen and living room. The food is fantastic. It will be better if the hotel could provide more drinking water and TV signal.

Well established wilderness retreat on K I”

Apart from not having a booking on arrival, (we had in fact booked and paid for our accommodation well in advance), we had a wonderful time at this hotel. Fortunately Manager found a room for us otherwise we would not have been happy travelers. What went wrong?

Decent room and surprisingly good food”

Had a good one night stay in a standard room overlooking the courtyard. Not hugely private but suited our needs fine (visiting Flinder's Chase with 2 year old). Room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful especially the young Dutch waiter and food in the restaurant at dinner was excellent. Didn't have breakfast as it seemed expensive.

all we expected”

Just what we expected, super location for visiting the places we wanted to see. Only negative was we expected to have internet access. It seems this is always unreliable, so suggest the owners be honest about lack of availability in the publicity material.

Wonderful experience ”

It was a wonderful experience staying at the KI Wilderness retreat - great location, clean rooms, friendly staff and what more do you want, the resident wallabies offering you a friendly welcome! I don't think that our visit to KI would have been such a memorable experience if we had chosen to stay elsewhere. The price is reasonable and they have a petrol station as well (it is 20-30 cents dearer than the rest of the island though). The restaurant is good; however, the menu is limited and it is overpriced. It is better have food at Finders Chase Cafe or the cafe at Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. They provide internet, but it is annoyingly slow and the wifi signal reception was poor in the room where we stayed.

Great experience”

The stay in Wilderness Retreat is unforgettable. The wild life animals are all around. The room is fair, not the luxury type, but good enough to stay for a day or two. The resturant provide suprisely very good food and service. And the location of the resort is close to the National park, i will pick this resort again if i ever go to Kangaroo Island again

Close to Flinders national park”

Our room was in the eco-lodge. Refrigerator, but no microwave or any type of cooking facilities. There is a barbeque grill on the grounds where you can use or fill water. Front desk staff uninterested. Fairly worn rooms and furnishings. They pride themselves with being eco friendly with newer solar panels. Water is scarce on island and their tap water is rain water which may not be to everyone's satisfaction. Bottled Water is available for purchase at front desk. Wi-Fi works only in lobby. The free night nature walk is superb and worthwhile attending. It's not luxurious, but they don't claim to be a luxury hotel.

Excellent”

Great location to visit Founders Chase National Park - a must see

Very good”

Buffet breakfast was superb!

Nice & clean resort ”

It was a nice & cosy resort where we were very near to the nature and we can even see kangaroo hopping around the resort

Good”

Renovations are need desperately.

nice in general，but few choices for dinner”

pro: close to Flinders chase national park, and the wildness. cons: poor internet connection and mobile phone reception.

Good location to explore the National Park. Lovely bush setting”

Restaurant is very ordinary. We booked an apartment with sparse cooking facilities. That proved to be useful as restaurant was not good value

That Old School Camp Feeling ”

This place cost a bomb to stay in. The room was clean but the king size bed was two singles put together hence when you rolled into the middle you went down a whole. The building just seemed tired and shabby. The staff did not go out of their way to help or suggest things. The restaurant was like eating in a school canteen and so over priced. The food was over cooked and dry. The heater in the restaurant had seen much better days and consequently the room was cold. Your better off staying in Kingscote.

First night in an Eco-Room, nightmare, no hot water and a permanent electric noise from the warm water system, which did not work”

Nevertheless, after our complain the next morning, the staff reacted in a professional way and they gave us a nice courtyard suit, which everything worked and was nice. Also they offered us a bottle of wine for the dinner, which was appreciated and equalized the horrible night before. But why it has to go this way all the time? We experienced this now a couple of times that the first day you are put in a bad room and after you complain about it, they give you a nice one. We made this experience now with a couple of bookings we made over agoda.
