Sea Dragon Kangaroo Island

Amazing, beautiful location!! Truly australian experience!! Kangaroos around you all the time, fantastic staff and amazing quiet times at night. You can see the stars as nowhere else. All experiences are highly recommended and Adam was fantastic! We had a great time and definitely will come back again!!

The location is remote and far away from the main island points of interest ( nearly 2 hours drive to see Remarkable Rocks). Staff is friendly, room ha a nice view but it’s average (more a 3 stars hotel than a luxury experience they advertised). The most disappointing is the food: breakfast is basic, lunch box during a full day excursion was ridiculous and for dinner we only had a choice of 2 modest servings; furthermore the food was undercooked and very bland ( we asked in alternative a bowl of rice and the told us they didn’t have it … pathetic!) This is advertised and priced as a luxury location, the reality is more that of 3 stars hotel.

A breathtaking view from our lounge and bedroom in Osprey. Luxurious accomodation with meals and wines included, together with nature at your door(abundance of kangaroos), Sea Dragon was an unforgettable 3 day visit. This was also made possible by Jane, Pam and their most component and professional staff. A memorable trip to celebrate a “special”birthday.

Sea Dragon is an amazing property in a timeless space with soul-stirring ocean views in a stunning coastal setting. The multicultural staff is extremely attentive, well-trained and incredibly friendly and caring. Jane, the new manager, is the soul of Sea Dragon. She exudes a communicative energy that inspires the staff around her. We had a fabulous experience with great food, good wine and a one and a half day nature/wildlife tour that we would strongly recommend. Paul, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the island, the wildlife and the 2020 bushfires that burnt 40% of the island. Without him, we wouldn't have seen a family of koalas resting in the trees in an unlikely location along the road. The icing on the cake is the wildlife overrunning the property with lots of kangaroos at dawn and dusk.

The setting for the hotel is superb with views you could gaze at for hours but our 2 night stay was not good. We had booked our stay through an agent and unbeknownst to us we were on a package deal which we have subsequently learnt are being phased out. We thought it was a bit odd when we were asked to choose from two main courses the day prior to our stay. No one explained that a la carte options were available at extra cost ( which we would have been happy to pay). As a result my husband, who has a shellfish allergy ,which the hotel were advised of in advance, had no choice at all on one night whilst other guests in the dining room seemed to have a wide variety of options . We definitely felt like 2nd class guests.Subsequent to our stay our agents have visited the hotel and advise that a new manager has introduced changes and the package deal is only being honoured for existing bookings. My advice to anyone with an existing booking would be to check what will be available to you before you arrive. I had a chuckle to myself when I saw the photo of the sea food platter as that definitely will not be available to package guests.

Our stay at Sea Dragon was amazing. Kangaroo island is a special place where nature is center stage and landscapes are difficult to forget. The staff at sea dragon go the extra mile to make sure your experience is unique. Our room was very comfortable with a design that projects you to the terrace and a breathtaking view of the bay. Very often kangaroos or wallabies were snacking just under the terrace. The restaurant is cozy, full window walls on the bay, delicious food and ample wine selection. The staff is super friendly and the level of service is top. We would have not enjoyed so much our stay or seen so much or the island without the help of the staff. Whether it was an excursion or something you forgot in the room, they were always there to make everything easy for you and just let you enjoy the beauty of the island, which now feels like home. A special thank you to Karen!
