Search Your Kingscote Hotels

The hotel environment is very good, quiet and comfortable, right by the sea, the room has a beautiful sea view. You can walk to the pier and the city along the main road, but come back as early as possible at night. Only one side of the road is a little dark, although it is not dangerous.

The Villas on the Bay at Kingscote had a great 2 bedroom villa that totally suited our needs for the short few days that we were there. As a kind of self-contained unit, it was modern and clean, with all the kitchen necessities you'd want (although we hardly used them as we ate out most of the time). The bedrooms were large and the beds super comfortable. My only gripe was that the pillows had almost no stuffing in them. I think a rolled up sweater would be more plump! But the heating worked well and our villa was very snug and quiet. The chairs and couch begged you to rest in them and never leave. All the management and front desk staff were brilliant and helped with almost every thing we needed from pre-booking, to check-in and departure. I cannot speak more highly of them and their customer focus. In terms of location, it was perfect. Easy walk (though we were lazy and drove) to the great shops and restaurants. No need to venture far at all. And as far as the top tourism sites and things to see and do, Kingscote is an amazing place to be based. Everything seems a comfortable drive away. You can really achieve and see a lot using the Villas on the Bay as a springboard.

The property is situated in a great location, offering privacy as well as a great ocean view. The food is excellent, the staff friendly and helpful. The property in general and the guest room in particular are a little jaded, would greatly benefit from sprucing up if not a refurbishment - for example, a modern more functional shower head would add to guest comfort, and a newer hair dryer will go a long way to making the property feel fresher and more commensurate with the room tariff.
