Sea Dragon Kangaroo Island

Tolle Zimmer mit sensationellem Blick aufs Meer 5 * Hotel, dass seine Gäste rundum verwöhnt; sehr guter Service (wechselnde Mitarbeiter, die meisten sehr engagiert), prima Frühstück, gute offene Weine complementary, hervorragende Köchin ... die Hauptspeisen beim Dinner (3 Abende) waren klasse

Words are not sufficient for this wonderful place. Firstly the welcome from Leo was wonderful. Secondly the staff who were all on short term stays were first class, we met Yas, Thomas, Zena and Finn who were all so helpful. Thirdly the food could grace a London Michelin star restaurant. This was all supervised by Jane the Chief Operations Manager(!). Finally the truly remarkable Adam who was the guide on the Nature Tour and made everything so interesting

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.
