We did not realize that Good Friday and the following three days were holidays in Australia so we had a hard time finding any rooms for our two night stay. The Lodge in American River was very adequate for our stay. It was located next to the river where a flock of Pelicans lived. American river is close to the... more

There's not much to choose from on KI, and the KI lodge is probably as good as any. The rooms are very large,clean, but dated -- cheap furniture, worn carpets, tiny bathroom. There was no hot water for one night during our stay. It's rated a 3-star hotel, and I think that is quite fair. The staff, however, was friendly... more

If your looking for somewhere to relax & enjoy the beautiful scenery, this is the place to stay. We booked a Superior room (2 nights stay) for a little extra, has great views of trees, lagoon, birds & own balcony (on inspection, even the standard rooms looked to have good views of lagoon too, but no balcony). Superior room had... more

What an amazing resort. The room, the service, the food were all impeccable. We were on a 3 day package which included breakfast. We also ate our dinners in the restaurant, which was great, though there were not a lot of other options to eat at this particular spot. The view out our deck to the water was beautiful. Don't... more

After two GREAT nights at the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat near Flinders Chase Park (will post separate review), we stayed one night at the Kangaroo Island Lodge in American River, mostly because we had booked the Alkirna Nocturnal Tour that operates from American River. (see my review of Alkirna). Even though we had booked a second-story bay view room close... more

The options on the island might limit choices, but I wouldn't recommend this hotel or a visit to the island. The hotel is so old and the rooms are what I'd expect in a low end motel (such as a Motel 6). We had millipedes in the room all the time and I feared they'd get in our luggage and... more

Excellent experience simple but very nice. Great atmosphere. Great restaurant. Beautiful views. Beautiful pelicans. Loved it. Kangaroo Island is a magnificent experience very recommended. more

Spent 2 nights at KI Lodge and was very satisfied with the accommodation. We had a river view room directly across the road from the water. Very peaceful setting, nice to have a small balcony to sit on and enjoy the tranquility. The room was clean and comfortable, with microwave and basic utensils. The only negative was the poor supply... more

Peaceful and quiet ,the lodge is located ont the bay,there is a trail nearby if you want to walk along the shore,it's not far from the ferry terminal.The decoration of the room ,the materials used for the buildings are clearly sophisticated comparing to others places.We had a wonderful stay with my family. Kangaroo island is on the beaten track but... more
