Reviews for Kangaroo Island Seaview Motel

Review 1：The bath is bit small & outdated, may worth renovation in the future.

Review 2：Good location & good value of money, happy with no minimum stay condition.

Review 3：Seaview motel also arrange our ferry. But they booked our return for 26/01 instead of 26/12. At the ferry they put us on stand by and we waited more than we should

Review 4：It was enough for us, with facilities in the bedroom to make breakfast. They gave us a better room than the one we payed for with no extra cost

Review 5：Friendly, generous hospitality. Closeness to the sea and to the town and seaview from bedroom window. A pleasing yesteryear feel of a nice guesthouse.

Review 6：His attitude

Review 7：Unfortunately no tea or coffee left in room. TV keeper loosing signal when I spoke to The gentleman on duty in office told it's an island TV will loose signal poor answer the other motel was brilliant

Review 8：Cost was perhaps the only thing for me...I travel a lot across the regional parts of SA and the price was above what I normally pay.

Review 9：The staff at the Motel were very friendly and helpful. Overall a great experience. The owners obviously take great pride in their Motel and its surrounds.

Review 10：Waited 10 minutes to check in because the phone was answered in front of me and the conversation went on and on. Room was very out dated. Needs renovating. Shower goes cold then very hot. Noisy air conditioner. Very over priced.

Review 11：Right in Kingscote

Review 12：No bad experience just a couple of the dishes provided in the room were not properly cleaned. But overall fantastic and i couldn't fault it.

Review 13：It was absolutely fantastic everyone was helpful and welcoming, it really felt like a home away from home, very comfortable great for the family we look forward to going back.

Review 14：We could have had better drapes for sleeping in. Out television was a little ordinary with sound quality.

Review 15：We had a large suite. Great location handy to town with pleasant outlook.

Review 16：Quite dated and in need of a refurbishment. Carpets were stained which was a bit off putting for us.

Review 17：Bed was comfy. Shower was good. Location was picturesque and central to shops and cafes. Owner was friendly.

Review 18：perfect location for a relaxing holiday.... Although wifi strength is the only problem area which needs improvement...but who cares.... KI is a place to go out and explore...not sit in wifi range.... 9/10

Review 19：The room smelt like the toilet was leaking. The place is very run down.Saw no animals. The staff should organise walks to show people local animals. That is actually why people go there.

Review 20：Not really a problem for us but be aware you get what you pay for rooms are older motel style but for one night everything we needed.

Review 21：Loved the location, helpful staff when he had a problem. Made it no problem.

Review 22：Thin walls so you can hear the people next door clearly. A tiny wall mounted TV, but fortunately with the thin walls one is glad that there were similar TVs next door. Also there was a pump or something operating behind the unit that was noisy.

Review 23：Value for money and location. Friendly staff.

Review 24：We stayed in room 1 which is at the far end from the lobby, the wifi did not work (I couldn't even see the network when I was near the lobby). The kitchenette lacked a microwave. The curtains don't really block out the light very well and wind can seep in through the door even when it is closed. The room is very dated and could do with some modernisation.

Review 25：Room service did a good job, it's a nice location directly across from the swimming pool and the bay.

Review 26：The walls are Paper thin - we stayed two nights and both nights we listened to our neighbors snoring and their tv going til midnight

Review 27：Loved the location and the view

Review 28：Older, a little tired.

Review 29：Very clean. Kitchen adequate. Compared to other hotels on the island, good price. Good location to use as a home base for sight seeing.

Review 30：Although free Wifi was advertised, I was only able to access it once and it was extremely slow, mostly it didn't show as a possible Wifi on any of my devices. A microwave in the room would be great, just to heat a cup of milk or some warm cereal.

Review 31：Location was fantastic, with views over the water and a verandah with chairs outside our room to sit on and make the most of the view. The room was clean and tidy, very comfortable.

Review 32：Wifi not accessible from my room, so I was forced to use it in thereception area. But the reception area closed at 20:30 so after that Ihad to stop or sit outside, not so pleasant in cool weather. I hadthought I could take breakfast but during the off season, this wascomplicated and expensive.

Review 33：Lovely location facing the sea. Nice fridge and basic kitchen items.Easy walking distance to town.

Review 34：We certainly appreciated the personal touch of Alana's advice and assistance with ferry transfers. It helped us to make the most of our time on KI.

Review 35：The room was small and smelt of carpet deodorizer . The room felt unclean, the bathroom shower recess kept sticking and overall the room was very run down. The kitchen facilities were very limited and overall I was very disappointed with the accommodation.

Review 36：Location and friendly staff

Review 106：the price is a bit high for what you get

Review 107：Old style building & good location

Review 108：No restaurant.

Review 109：Location

Review 110：I would have liked real coffee to be served at breakfast rather than instant.

Review 111：The location, the old world charm of the verandah and architecture, friendly service.

Review 112：The room was large and comfortable. the view from the room was fantastic. the outlook from the verandah outside the room was excellent. The old building was beautiful

Review 113：Curtains not v thick, hence difficult to keep out veranda lights

Review 114：In town centre, large room, good choice at breakfast with full English avail if required

Review 115：Owners were a bit remote. Husband, shy, missed the chance to ask or give advice about guests' plans Breakfast, emphasised as being complementary, was minimalist compared to other places we stayed.

Review 116：Lovely views and easy access to sea pool. Comfortable room Convenient for town, shops and restaurants.

Review 117：...only one restaurant in town, which is in a competitor's hotel, so next time I'd stay there. Prices are very high in relation to quality provided, and relative to comparable accomodation where there is real competition.

Review 118：Central town location, except ...

Review 119：W-Lan was only working from the room next to the reception.

Review 120：Nice motel, even though bathroom facilities were in a separate building next to the rooms it's always been perfectly clean.

Review 121：Wifi did not work for the three days we were there. They did tell us to use the free wifi that the city offers at the library. That is a good tip but you have to register with the library and that means you need to show up when they are open. (note that this is a city library of a sleepy little town with short hours and many off days).

Review 122：Location in front of the ocean and close to the couple of restaurants in town.

Review 123：We had a room with a great view looking over the ocean. It was a 3.5 star room, and I suggest it is at the top of this star rating. The staff were great, and recommended some great places to eat at

Review 124：Someone let off a firework right next to our room that shook the windows.

Review 125：The location to the town and central location to the tourist sites. Quiet and peaceful.

Review 126：It didn't really matter that much to us but describing our room as a "luxury spa suite" could be regarded as a little bit over- exuberant! Breakfast is again fine, but quite basic.

Review 127：The place was clean and tidy and the people were nice. The location is great - just opposite the beach and a great walk.

Review 128：comfort of chairs in unit, location of TV re option where to view, no microwave to make hot milk drink.

Review 129：liked the view on the ocean side. very relaxing 6 days mixing work with pleasure.

Review 130：Compared to other prices elsewhere it seemed expensive even though I know that it is Kangaroo Island. The cost to get there is excessive already so it made it a very expensive 2 night stay.

Review 131：Everything that we needed and wanted (i.e. cups of coffee and tea) was available including breakfast in our room. Also we had a toaster and an iron and ironing board in need. The service was very good.

Review 132：breakfast is poor : only cereals and toast with butter and jam. Rooms are old, but clean.

Review 133：Great ocean view, in 'city'centre of Kingscote, although Kingscote is not that big, which is ok of course, that's the charm about Kangaroo Island.
