Not my favourite stay....even on rustic KI

This stay started off terribly after a 5 hour car ride and ferry crossing. There was no one at the property when we arrived to welcome us. (We may have been sent an email with instructions but I must have missed it.) We called the posted cell number and the call was dropped, then drove out to another property 1 km away and finally found someone to help us. The cabin had been left open and the key on the table! GRRR! The cabin was nicely set up. Somewhat comfortable but not like in the photo. The property was tricky to find, hidden off the road. Have everything that you need for your stay here. There is nothing available nearby. And no management to help you out.

Terrible service. When we arrived, rang the number to gain access to the cabin, reception told us that the property manager would ring us back with the details. After an hour of waiting we rang again to be told the same thing, still no answer from the manager. The only reason we managed to get access to our cabin was because the cleaner was there getting it ready and she let us in, which is not part of her job. We never received a call from the manager

Not where I would return to stay. The reception was hard to find. Couldn't get through their landline , and Kim's mobile was never been answered, just texted back after a while. Not responsive to their customers. We booked two cabins. One wasn't ready while we arrived. One cook stove, one external cooking pan, and outdoor bbq were not working. The facilities are pretty run down. Need a good improvement on both services and facilities.

The room would be good for a family with kids since there are 2 bedrooms, one of them with bunk beds. I dont think it was the room I booked, although I cant even see the one I booked anymore since they don’t take anymore booking at this time. I thought I would get a separate villa, but this one is one of many connected in a building. The facility is old, but well looked after and clean. Master bedroom is pretty small, it was a bit hard to walk on the side of one of the bed. But the view is beautiful because you can see the bay and there are many trees around too. Overall I was happy with my stay except that we had to ask for extra toiletries. They dont clean or restock the room everyday and that’s fine for us but they should have given us extra things since we were staying for 5 nights, but only given things for one night stay. The lady who has been checking us in and giving us more toiletries are very lovely and friendly, but since no reception in the facility, would be better to give extra things at the beginning of stay.

Traditional quiet holiday accommodation

A quiet place to stay a short walk to the waterfront. Large old fashioned unit with plenty of space. Worked well for two people but has the bathroom with ill fitting sliding doors between the two bedrooms which might concern larger groups. Friendly host, no Wifi as yet. American River is very quiet which is fine if that is what you want. Do not believe the brochures about choice of restaurants and cafes! Nice dinner at the local club. Koala in a tree and a seal on the wharf, lots of birds. Cheap for Kangaroo Island.

4 nights on Kangaroo Island

The checkin was made very easy with Danielle. A lot of the photos of the villas cabins were not for Kangaroo Island Coastal Villas. The villas were very small. Very disappointed with the villa as the hoots on the website made it look so much more roomy.

Stayed at the KI Coastal Villas for a few days as a base while I went driving around the island. I was in one of the air conditioned family units, which had a kitchenette with a stove and a full sized fridge. This was handy as there aren't a lot of places that are open after 5.00 in American River most nights, and driving to either Kingscote or Penneshaw for dinner runs the risk of roadkill, so being able to cook for myself was useful. If you're happy to have an early dinner though, there's plenty of options within a 30 minute drive if you don't want to eat at the three or four places in American River. The cabin was small but comfortable. There were two bedrooms, one with a king size bed that took up a lot of the room, and another with a bunk bed. There aren't much in the way of cupboards, but the shelves are enough to store a few days worth of clothes. Bring some coathangers if you want to hang anything up. The main living area had a small round table for four and a couch with a TV above the fridge. There's a small deck with a small table and a couple of chairs if you want to take in the sounds of wildlife. The beach is at the end of the driveway, with a playground, tennis and basketball court, and a 'take-a-book, leave-a-book' library attached to the shelter shed nearby. The boatramp is a five minute walk away with a cafe open 9-5 (try the eggs benny!). Great spot to unwind at and just relax.

A clean modern cabin with wonderful hosts who were both welcoming and helpful on arrival. The Nature Cabins were perfect for us as a young family, good air conditioning for our baby, great little kitchen (with microwave) for us to prepare meals in and was privately secluded but still a 2min walk to the beach! An amazing spot, would highly recommend.

Peaceful location

Nice and quite place. We were the only ones for 3 nights and another 2 family checked in on our last night. Pretty sad to see a lot of the holiday homes around the island empty. We had a great time in KI. Not many tourist around. If you havent been to KI, you need to be aware that you will need a car as everything are very far apart. Every town is about at least half hour drive away. If you are arriving late to the villa, buy some groceries at Penneshaw as the small general store in American Rivers closes early. There are a few restaurants around but very limited. Love the Oyster shop next door. The villa is comfortable and adequate for our stay. The only thing that need improvement is the cleanliness of the sofa. There was lots of hair on the upholstery. Otherwise, we enjoyed to peace and quite stay. Must compliment the succulent garden.

Great location in between Kingscote and Penneshaw.

Brian and Kylie are excellent host. Google map seems to be giving the wrong direction or address, however they are not that far away from the actual location, hope they fix it soon. Nearest petrol is 30 mins away. Only IGA is in Penneshaw.

In terms of location, it Just across the road from the water inlet. The door opens right to the water inlet side. Great for morning/evening walks. It is next door to the oyster farm shop. There is walking trail and also a designated booth near the CFA (walk just on the Northern direction along the bank for about 3 mins from the Boat launch area). Great for bird photography. I managed to get great shots of birds with my camera. In terms of the accomodation. Very spacious for a family of 4. Has a big living area and 2 seperate bed rooms. Kept neat and tidy. One thing that would have been better is the shower, we understand the water conservation, however it was hard to even get wet in that shower.

Great Family Holiday.

We stay here for 5 nights and it was very quite place and comfortable accommodation for a family. The local people are very friendly, I personally like their road/driving practices, they’re always greeting each other driver by lifting one finger or two each time passing each other, so we enjoyed “drive like a local”. The only down side is, there is no much choice for places to eat, and the groceries stores is quite far, so need to equip all foods needed next time. But over all we really enjoyed our KI Holiday, where so much beautiful places to see, explore and experience. I would really love to come back here in few years and love to explore the north east side of KI which is 4W drive recommended or otherwise hopefully all roads are sealed by then.

Friendly helpful managers. Reasonable rates. Quiet location. (Not the place if you want swimming beaches but not bad for getting around to see different places.) Thankful for air conditioning in our unit, though it did struggle on a really hot day. Some cooking utensils for stove top but would have been nice to have some microwave containers to cook in.

Das einchecken war furchtbar. 3 Telefonnummern zur Kontaktaufnahme und keine war erreichbar. Dann eine zweite Adresse wo man eincheckt, dort war geschlossen, "sorry we are closed". Zurück in die Anlage und alle Zimmer und Cabins abgegangen und eine offene Tür gesucht. Letztendlich haben wir Cabin 2 mit offener Tür vorgefunden. Die haben wir dann einfach bezogen ohne zu wissen ob das richtig ist. Das ganze hat mehrere Stunden gedauert, somit war ein Nachmittag verloren. Die Cabin 2 haben wir dann behalten. Am nächsten Morgen kam die Managerin Tash und hat sich ganz lieb mit einem Glas Honig entschuldigt. Die Cabin war komplett ausgestattet, das Schlafzimmer sehr eng, das Badezimmer viel zu klein. Der Aussenbereich sehr staubig und dadurch stark verschmutzt.

bra för fiske

Hotellet ligger avsides. Tror vi hade lite fel utgångspunkt med detta hotellet. Inga öppna affärer eller restauranger i närheten när vi anlände. Själva radhuslänga är toppen och tror den funkar utmärkt om man är där för fisket och önskar ett självständigt och smidigt boende. Stort radhus med bra utrymme för familjen. Men kanske inte helt rätt för vårt syfte med att vara och åka runt på ön.
