We had a nice stay at Kangaroo Island Seaview Motel. It appeared recently renovated and was clean. Easy, free parking on site, and was walking distance to nearby restaurants and shops.
The property was well located and the view was beautiful.
Nice stay
Great location, very close to all shops and restaurants. They should remove the 3rd bed for couples to allow for more space. The shelf above the bed needs to be higher to stop from hitting your head. It’s the last thing to have to worry about every time you get into bed.
Wonderful place with a great location right in front of the beach. An amazing Italian restaurant just a few minutes walk. The pizzas were amazing.
I liked the room decor, the walkability of the town, and the sea view.
This motel was an unexpected delight - the rooms are in great condition and have been renovated in great colours and lovely decor. Would recommend!
I had a look at a few accommodation options but I chose the right one, it’s straight across from the police station and within walking distance of everything I needed. I will definitely be staying here when I return.
Conveniently situated withing walking distance to eateries, we found it a very easy place to stay. Room was exactly as depicted on website, with updated bathroom and decor. We stayed two nights and were sorry to not have been able to get into the on-site restaurant The Odd Plate. While it is run independently from the motel, it would have been helpful for the motel to prompt visitors to book in when confirming their stay. The restaurant is quite small and was in very high demand at the time of our stay in low season, when a number of other optional eateries were closed on vacation. Other than that, our stay was very pleasant.
Very nice motel
Very nice motel. Stayed at the Sea View Suite. Inside must have been recently refurbished. Thoughtful and handy little details. Little kitchen was lacking salt, pepper and oil etc., but other than that well equipped.
The staff were so kind. The property was clean, well managed and easy accessible
Great location with sea views! Staff were friendly and helpful.
Highly recommend this beautiful place. Very clean and looks like something out of a house and home magazine. Stunning touches and extremely comfortable bed. Ocean views directly from the big glass window of your room. Friendly checkin too. Right opposite on a Saturday morning at 8am at the Tidal pool is the Parkrun. Great 5k and locals are welcoming. So close to drive to wineries and gin distillery.
Quiet and assessible to local shops-hotels
Nice stay!!!
Very comfortable clean room!
Very pleasant, close to everything, great views and friendly Manager.
Friendly and helpful for 3 star, good value
The service from the staff was excellent. The accommodation was ok, getting a little tied though. Overall I’d definitely stay again.
Great service and cleanliness as always
The rooms were simple but clean and tidy. The staff were friendly. They are currently doing renovations and hopefully they will add a Cafe/Restaurant.
Dated, yes. But charming and quirky. I loved the little shutters over the floor level air vents. All in all this fits the natural charm of the seaside town of Kingscote. Very clean, cosy, and everything we needed for a night in town. Lots of on-site and street parking. Across the road from the natural seas pool and an easy short walk to anything in town. Very pleasant stay.
Family stay
Good location by the rock pool and the center of Kingscote. Basic room clean and easy access. Good for a week end!
The check in was quick and service was excellent. With some great recommendations of local eateries and activities.
Needs some updating!
No air conditioning, external bathrooms, images online don’t reflect actual rooms. Not really value for money.
Million dollar view!
Very close to the beach and all amenities. Peaceful and relaxing. We'll be back. Beautiful sunrise.
The blonde hair manager was extremely rude, approaching my son, to complain about the mess in the bathroom, which consisted of a foot towel being left in the bathroom despite there being no wash basket or bin to put used soap in the cubicle. The fact that she approached a 11 year old without parents being there was disgusting.
It’s a great view
Perfect for a quick overnight trip
Good view, but the single bed is too softy.
Sea view.good location and excellent service. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Room are clean and comfy.
Very dated but clean, no toilet en-suite so you have to go to a seperate building outside
Room was unclean, stuffs from previous stays were left under the bed. Bed was uncomfortable, filthy room. We agreed to check out at 11, but by the time we went for breakfast outside, cleaners entered the room and we couldn’t use the room later. No microwave in the room. Towels were old. Television is robs my 12 inches. Not worth for money.
Unit was basic and clean. Would stay again.
Nice room but one air conditioner doesn’t cover both bed rooms. May be big stand fans will be good idea for bed rooms.
2 Days on KI
We had a very nice stay and the staff were more than helpful
Fake hotel description
The website shows that room has two bathrooms, but actually there is only one. Also the number of beds is different from the picture showing on website. It's a terrible experience for me.
Nice basic accommodation,. but watch just what your buying as I was a it confused and ordered a room with a shared bathroom. But the staff sorted out the issue with me nicely.
Nice Hotel with sea wiews
Enjoyed our stay as we were central to many tourist attractions.
Nice location close to restaurants and natural pool
Booked the Baudin room which would have been ample room for four. Small spa bath in bathroom and great ocean views from this room. Even your own little terrace. Lounge. Had a microwave toaster and kettle.
Nice but might be noisy...
Nice stay on KI, well located, but bedroom walls very thin and you can hear your neighbours snoring...
Uncomfortable bed, too soft.
Kangaroo Island stay
The hotel is pretty old. Fixtures & fittings old. Bed squeaks. Lounge seats have old used coverings. Not my preferred style. Best described as "Looks Tired". Bathroom tap was leaking. Obviously not a high priority for hotel to fix. Some (glass) doors and windows don't have curtains, so very bright from outside lighting all night. Definitively not value for money.
Highly recommended!
Very nice and helpful staff, room with beautiful view, enough space for three of us in the room. Easy walk to town and fun stroll along the beach right in front of your room. Convenient parking, comfortable room, we are very happy!
Conveniently located close to town with awesome views., friendly staff. Needs new mattresses
Close to beach and shops
Nice clean old motel. Beach and shops just across the street. Free unlimited wifi but a bit slow.
Great service, but misleading pictures of motel.
This was a convenient motel to stay in. It was withing walking distance to restaurants and other establishments, and a pickup point for the ferry. The office people were extremely helpful, and went beyond what one could expect for service. The pictures of the motel lead one to believe it is new and updated, however once inside it is obvious that it is not, but in all fairness, they do let you know there are no bathroom facilities in your room in the write up of the place.
Lovely view of the bay, walking distance to food
KI is a wonderful place, and this hotel is conveniently located in the middle-ish of the island. The staff were friendly, and the walks around town were lovely.
Not bad for a short stay
The room is a good size and comfortable but lacks some bench space around the kettle area and it also could do with a full blind of curtains over the double entrance door to make the room darker in the morning as all you have is a blind that went down half way.
very expensive for shared bathroom and no breakfast.
Nice view, the lamp cord was broken, so couldnt turn it on
nice old hotel with lovely beach views.
Got a shock on arrival, owner took several minutes to answer bell from reception..sorry, your room has shared bathroom facilities ...hmmm. But for an extra $20/ nite you can have a standard room with ensuite ..ok. Nice old motel/ guest house with lovely Seaview and opposite the beach. Short stroll into town, pier, nice pizza rest opposite. Good spot to explore the wonderful Kangaroo island. Room, bed, shower, all ok.
No kitchen in the baudin suite. Room is ok, big enough for 4 people
Nice location overlooking the sea
Clean, friendly, nice size rooms in the old house. The shared toilet block was like no other. Flowers, hand towels, bath mats, hair dryer etc.
Clean, great view, lovely friendly staff, close to everything in Kingscote
Very nice
The staff was very nice n friendly....!! Room was also good !
Sun rise across the Bay
Just a fantastic place to stay if you like chilling out and for a change a dip I the tidal swimming pool.
Tiny, out of date in areas.
Make sure if you travel to KI pre book for dining out.
Stunning sea views add friendly staff
A very enjoyable stay for my first visit to Kangaroo Island. I'll certainly come back to Seaview.
Close to ocean and to town.
Older hotel kept very clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Enjoyed the ocean views from the cares right outside our door. Good value.
Comfortable accommodation with a brilliant view
Baudin Suite was very comfortable and spacious although furnishings were a little dated. We would certainly stay at KI Seaview Motel again!
Very disappointing, did NOT deliver!
Dirty, poor attitude of cleaning staff, lack of maintenance is horrific.We stayed at Haven Marina Glenelg, same era and star rating, $10 cheaper per night, and vastly better than Seaview Motel.
Pleasant location
Very satisfying vacation. No further items need be added.
Good family hotel
I stayed at this motel with my daughter and her 2 sons. We stayed in the Matthew Flinders unit which had plenty of room for a family and included a kitchenette. This suited our needs perfectly. Rooms were spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Not a good choice
Good location for the sea view. But the room is not very clean. Poor sound proofing.
Good location close to CBD, It ends there.
We stayed in backpacker like room, shared shower-room but private room. Cooking was not allowed, which is disappointing as take away food are fairly expensive around town. The room has a small fridge, sink and tv, are nice addition. Shared shower-room smells quite awful as you expect for such a place. The shower-room is outside the living quarter (different building), if you are planning to have shower in the morning, get ready to feel the cold strong wind.
Affordable and comfortable stay in Kingscote
Nothing fancy but good price and a good size room with everything we needed for our three days - the ocean view was a great bonus. Nothing to complain about, would recommend it to other families.
Comfortable hotel near beach
We enjoyed our stay at the Seaview Motel. The staff were very accommodating, friendly and willing. The views from the sea facing rooms spectacular and the location to town and the tidal swimming pool fantastic. The room was a little dated but very clean and provided all that we required.
Ideal motel close to beach & shops
Greeted by friendly staff, very clean room and very comfortable. Would definitely stay again
good location and easy parking
it's good to stay
Holiday getawway at KI
Room cosy. Overall clean. Only problem was water was yellowish.
Kingscote seaside motel
Our room was so close to the main street it was super convenient, it was the perfect place to relax and not too small. Doing day trips out from Kingscote the room was an easy place to come home and crash. Motel in general was very quiet, (probably because of off-season). Pelican feeding at the local pier was the highlight of the trip- if you see this hilarious and entertaining experience, don't skimp out of the $5 per person donation- the guy buys the fish out of his own pocket! Beaches and local tourist destinations are very close.
Stayed in a 2 bedroom- 1 with queen, other with 3 singles. Also a kitchen with oven and dining/lounge area. Was up outdoor stairs and like timewarping back to the 70s. All clean though. Barely any wifi coverage in this room. Central to shops/hotel. DVD collection is bad.
