Beautiful location ”
Whilst the accomodation itself was basic, the location amongst the national park is glorious. We really enjoyed our meal at the restaurant. And there’s an amazing beach within 5 mins drive, plus you’re only 5 mins from the visitor centre of the national park. Once the fires are under control I would encourage everyone to return to the island and to this place. You won’t regret it.

Great location, very comfortable, no 'Continental Breakfast' option so we had breakfast at the excellent cafe at the National Park Visitor Center.

Excellent place to start your tours from. Food was great as were the walk abouts they have if you have time. But be careful and don’t do them too late in the day when its getting dark.

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

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.

probably wouldn’t stay again although now we have had the experience of staying there ”
Definitely great location for travelling to all the places we wanted to see on that side of the island. Staff were accommodating when I requested to upgrade my room. Fortunately there was a spare to upgrade to.

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.

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.

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

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.

Excellent experience, worth for money”
It is excellent experience to live in this retreat, where the location is pefect to visit the national park in the afternoon. The food is also good. Room condition is worth for money

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.

Quiet area”
The room was clean and the place was a nice one to stay if you like wilderness. It was out of the way, but it is a good base for exploration in the southwest area. It is a good base for Flinders Chase and Remarkable Rocks exploration as well as north west area.

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.
