This place was truly amazing. I cannot rate this highly enough. The welcome from Dylan was friendly and informative, the rooms were really beautiful, modern and clean. If you want a retreat, I would give this place 20 out of 10!

Everything was great, except didn't take any add-ons as the prices were just prohibitive. Advice: I'm not sure who would pay $20 per head for cooked breakfast items that they have to cook themselves....

Thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback. We are glad to hear you had a great stay. The complimentary continental breakfast includes freshly baked SA sourdough bread on arrival, homemade muesli with KI oats, homemade granola with KI Ligurian Honey, seasonal fruit, SA organic yoghurt, jams, fruit juice, tea selection, espresso coffee (pods or beans depending which accommodation). Our breakfast upgrade is very popular and includes bacon, KI free-range eggs, tomato, mushrooms, homemade baked beans, baby spinach and hash brown. As we do not have a restaurant, the only option is for guests to cook the supplied provisions themselves and all have seemed happy to do so as it results in flexibility of time, and in complete privacy. All accommodations also offer fully-equipped kitchens for guests to self-cater if they prefer.

Extraordinary
The Retreat was amazing. Amazing view from every room including the bathrooms. Above average cleanliness, extremely well thought out space, tastefully decorated, very well stocked kitchen and bathrooms with excellent appliances. The food was very very good and we looked forward to every meal. Staff were cheerful, friendly and helpful even giving us a free lift. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners that told us all about the area and had a great day trip on the secret seals tour. We really couldn't fault it, 3 nights not nearly enough time to fully absorb this extra special place. We will return.

Secluded getaway.
Very relaxing stay. Kangaroos on view all the time. We wanted a quiet peaceful getaway and that's what we enjoyed at Sea Dragon. I would recommend Casuarina Cottage where we stayed as it has a hot tub and a wonderful view.

Nature at its best!
We could not have asked for a more perfect place to stay 3 nights while we explored Kangaroo Island. After a comfortable hour drive from the airport we arrived before sunset in time to enjoy our delicious, hot pre-ordered dinner on our villa patio with views of playful kangaroos and the ocean. We spent our days exploring the island, easily making our way back in time to enjoy walking the property and down to the beach before dinners on our patio. The villa was immaculate, comfortable and well stocked. 5 star accommodations nestled in nature. We can't wait to return.

The Sea Dragon is a great place to stay. The location on top of a bluff with a fantastic view of the sea is just wonderful. Steve, the proprietor, couldn't be nicer. Wildlife abounds. And you have your own private beach. What else could one ask for?

Pleasant stay
Lovely view and very enjoyable stay. Delightful to sit on the balcony and chill out. Only a double, but wonderfully comfortable bed. Suggest some reading lamps in the lounge area as it is not light enough to read at night (and fix the broken ceiling light). Also, suggest refreshing breakfast provisions after a couple of days.

Kangaroo Island Retreat
My husband Mark and I stayed here for 3 nights for our fifth wedding anniversary last week. Steven was so accommodating & upgraded us to the beautiful eco lodge villa with spectacular ocean views, private beach & delivered delicious dinners to us each night. We also enjoyed the eggs from the free range chickens that were busy foraging around the property as well as watching the kangaroos graze outside our windows. Very relaxing & we thoroughly recommend staying here.

Unique lodge with great views.
It was a special experience staying at this lodge. The owners Steve and Gail made us feel like friends rather than guests. With exceptional views across the sea towards the mainland, the accommodation was both smart and comfortable. We chose to take evening meals there as well as breakfast and all meals were of a high quality. And the kangaroos, the possums, the private beach - it all added up to give us a break we will not forget.

Brand Spanking New in Gorgeous Rural Environment
A very large and comfortable freestanding Lodge with perfect sea and rural views.Wallabies and inquisitive sheep stroll past as you enjoy your food and wine on the front verandah. Nothing left wanting in this modern "new" abode, TV a little tricky (but Steve, the owner ) will already have that fixed, the Kitchen and appliances are truly set for the want to be gourmets! Extremely comfortable throughout. You will need to drive for about30 minutes on an unsealed road to get there, but its worth it!

Best In my life
最初に足を踏み入れた瞬間から、この施設を去るまで全てが満足と感動の連続です。 舗装されていない道を抜けると、カンガルーが優しい表情で出迎えてくれ、素敵な景色と夜空と大事な人との時間をこれでもかというくらい、「さりげなく」演出してくれる素晴らしい施設でした。 ホテルにお願いした夕食、Sea food platter、ふんわり絶妙に仕上げられたパン。 自然と同化出来る最高の旅がそこにはありました。 プライベートビーチの水の美しさ、絶景を眺めながらのジャグジー、眼下に広がるパノラマの景色。最高です！

Flott hotell med utmerket service!
Vi bodde i en Deluxe ocean view suite, og herfra hadde vi en fantastisk utsikt mot havet. Suiten var stor og velutstyrt, samt renslig og godt vedlikeholdt. Vi hadde i tillegg en stor balkong. Merk at eventuell middag må forhåndsbestilles et par uker før, og denne blir tilberedt av eierne. Vi hadde to middager her, og begge smakte fantastisk! Frokost står klart på kjøkkenet i suiten, og man finner selv frem maten når man ønsker å spise. Fra ferjekaien til hotellet brukte vi ca. 30 minutter med bil, men som følge av at deler av veien er grusvei, hvilket også gjelder mange andre steder på øyen, anbefaler jeg en 4WD-bil. Fra hotellet kan man fint rekke over de store attraksjonene på øyen på en dag, men skal man oppleve øyen skikkelig bør man selvsagt ha mer enn en dag. Paret som driver hotellet er svært serviceinnstilte og hyggelige! Her føler man seg velkommen!

Einzigartige Lokation mit grandiosem Meerblick
Fernab touristischer Ströme etwas abgelegene, aber gut zu erreichende Traum-Destination mit drei sehr komfortablen Lodges, in denen es an nichts fehlt (von der Nespresso Maschine, dem Weber-Grill und bis zu einem reichlich gefüllten Kühl- und Vorratsschrank). Traumhafter Blick aufs Meer mit Zugang zu eigenem Strand mitten in der Natur zw Kangaroos und anderen Wildtieren. Der Besitzer Steve kümmert sich mit Herz und Seele um die Gäste und ihre Anliegen.

Gemütliche Lodge mit traumhaftem Ausblick
Wir haben uns in dieser Lodge total wohl gefühlt. Es ist fast so, als wäre man bei Freunden zu Besuch. Die Einrichtung ist gemütlich und behaglich. Der Ausblick von der Veranda, die entlang der kompletten Seite zum Wasser verläuft, ist sagenhaft. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im Haupthaus mit Meerblick und waren damit sehr zufrieden. Außerdem kocht Steve ganz lecker. Wenn das Kaminfeuer knistert, draußen die Kängurus über das große Anwesen hüpfen und man gemeinsam mit Steve, dem Hausherrn, und anderen netten Gästen das köstliche Abendessen genießt, dann muss man sich einfach wohlfühlen. P.S. Mit etwas Glück kann man von der Veranda aus sogar Wale beobachten!

Ein kurzer, aber sehr schoener Aufenthalt!
Die Sea Dragon Lodge liegt wunderbar einsam in Fussnaehe von Cape Willoughby. Von der Terrase, die allen Gaesten zugaenglich ist, hat man einen wunderschoenen Blick auf eine kleine private Bucht und das Festland. Steve ist ein wunderbarer Gastgeber (Host) und bereitet auf Wunsch herrliches Abendessen zu. Die Atmosphaere in der Sea Dragon Lodge ist sehr ungezwungen und easy. Alle Gaeste sitzen gemeinsam an einem grossen Tisch beim Abendessen. Fruehstueck ist buffet style und auch sehr reichlich.
