海龍小屋飯店

Le plus bel endroit nature de notre séjour avec vue sur une petit plage en contrebas. Nous avons bénéficié d'une villa avec un salon donnant sur une terrasse vue mer, une belle cuisine équipée, une grande chambre lumineuse , une salle de bain à deux vasques avec toilettes séparées. Le luxe absolu en pleine nature avec en prime la proximité des kangourous le soir et le matin !!!

If you are going to Kangaroo Island and wish to stay at a lodge that with modern amenities, luxurious settings, and truly unbelievable views then you would choose Sea Dragon. The grounds are essentially your own private animal sanctuary filled with 400 kangaroos and a variety of birds that you can see and photograph up close and personal. Pink Bay which is the private beach on the grounds is beautiful. The view outside of the room is a million-dollar view. The dinners are absolutely wonderful and I do think those meals were the best I had during my time in Australia. I would rate the dinner meals on the same level as that of fine dining restaurants. I was very pleasantly surprised by that! The staff is extremely kind and gentle. Stay here and you will not be disappointed. It will be one of the main highlights of your time on kangaroo island. Don't forget to explore the grounds and see the kangaroos as you will never be that close on any tour.

Our ocean view villa (Banksia) was just outstanding. Large living room with beautiful and comfortable furniture (though lacking reading and table lamps), a full kitchen and great bedroom. We had a huge deck looking out over the water. And kangaroos everywhere! Just so much fun to watch them from the deck or on the way to the lodge for dinner. The deck had an outside bathtub which we didn’t use (in fact, it did face the walk down to the beach so I’m not sure how private it really was). But it looked cool. I am baffled as to why there are no photos of the villas on the website. In fact the website could really use a rework altogether. The staff in the dining room were lovely and the continental breakfast was very good (at least on 2 of the 3 mornings, on the 3rd by the time we arrived it had been fairly depleted and didn’t look like it was going to be replenished). Dinner was good but not outstanding. Also, the documents sent before arrival specify that dinner includes 2 courses, and if you want 3 courses you must pay an extra $25 per person. It gives samples of the 3 courses – sample entrees, sample mains, and sample desserts. We assumed it meant we could pick which 2 courses - we would have preferred entree and main - but in fact the standard menu is main and dessert. It wasn’t even clear that there were entrees if we had wanted to order one. Why not just clarify and say that dinner comes with a main course and a dessert and leave it at that? On the other side, the pre-arrival materials said that there would be no housekeeping unless we stayed 4 or more days or we requested it at an extra cost. We were fine without it, but were surprised that someone came in and tidied up each day. Again, the materials were a bit out of sync with the experience. We paid for a 3 night “experience” for $4,200. We probably should have booked the 3 night “self-drive” option that was available for $3,000 and tried to join the all day tour as an add-on cost which I assume would have cost less than $1,200 for the two of us. We had our own car so didn’t need the ferry pick-up and drop-off, but we did want the all-day tour which only seemed to be part of the “experience”. In any case, that all-day tour was excellent. Paul knows the island inside and out and was an excellent guide for the day. The half-day tour of local producers was not all that interesting, except for the gin tasting.

The three nights we spent on Kangaroo Island were the highlight of the trip to Australia. The location exceeded our expectations and if you like the pictures on the website, you'll be even more impressed in person. You look out directly from your room to the beach and the AU mainland in the far distance. There are kangaroo everywhere during the day and wallabies everywhere at dusk. The arrival started with a warm greeting by Jane and she handed each of us a glass of wine before having us check in. She knew all of our names right off the bat and the warmth and professionalism was demonstrated by all of the other staff (Yasmine, Tomas, Leo, Paul and a few others that I can't remember their names!). As some others have noted, if you're on a package you'll have the full day island tour included and the other activities (lighthouse tour, honey tasting, sheep shearing, gin tasting, etc) as well. The activities vary a bit so your visit might be a bit different. The full day tour was the best day of the trip. Paul was excellent and we stopped at a cluster of trees by the road that was infested with koala -- there had to be ten or more. Then off to the arches beach that had fur seals, then to Remarkable Rocks, and a nice picnic lunch followed by a visit to the sea lion beach. It is a long day for sure and a lot of driving, but the scenery is serene and unspoiled. The dinner was included in the package and was a choice of two entrees and two desserts. Both were very good and we even used it as a way to get our picky eater to try lamb for the first time. The food was very good and several wine and beer options were also included. You could upgrade to fancier wines for added charge -- we're not wine or beer people so the included options were fine by us. The will also make a cocktail for you for added charge as well. The rooms were spacious with a living room area, an additional indoor seating area that looked over the patio to the ocean and then the outdoor patio itself. They're luxurious and clean and fresh. There are about a dozen rooms at the resort so you will only see about 20 or so people during your visit .. and may not actually see too many people elsewhere on the island either. It's definitely a remote place and you are somewhat captive so if you like the freedom to explore on your own, you might want to go with a package where the tours are not included and you drive your own car. I will have to say that this is a very expensive experience ... even if you factor in the fact that food and activities are included. But it's a priceless experience that will leave you with memories for a lifetime.

Just brilliant! Fabulous setting overlooking the ocean with a gorgeous private beach with safe swimming within the cove. Abundance of cute kangaoos around the property and even a white cockatoo! Rooms are very comfortable, all with spectacular views. Paul took us on a day tour of the island, not to be missed. He was very knowledgable and found us lots of kaolas amongst many things. We did everything on offer wine, gin and honey tasting, walk to the lighthouse, river walk and evening kangaroo walk around the property. Food was absolutely delicious, we loved every mouthful. The seafood platter was incredible and there is plenty of choices of wines and drinks. Jane the GM is absolutely brilliant, and her enthusiasm and love of the place shines through. She truly wants everyone to have best time. All the staff are wonderful so I won’t single anyone out, they all have great enthusiasm and seem very happy to work there. If you get a chance to go then grab it.

Wauw - what a place to visit. Very kind welcome from one of the owners - Karin, who is a very kind and nice person. Fantastic accomodation with the best seaview and super beds for a Good nights sleep. Big an nice bathroom and kangaroos just outside the door.
