It's convenient for shop, eat and the view of ocean is fantastic. But it's far from the interesting places.

No one at reception even during reception hours. Called the phone number but no answer, left a voicemail but no call back. Sat in my car had to wait to check in. Very basic amenities and old fashioned interior. Could hear water running, the tv and phone ringing in the room next door. Much better accomodation in Kingscote than this

We are really for that you had to wait at the reception, as I was assisting another guest with the Check-in. I do apologize for not picking up the call as I was with the guest.We are really sorry for the inconvenience faced.

Property's location was the only thing which was good, there was no staff or intercom service if you needed anything, due to some covid situation i was told the restaurant was closed which is understandable however one day after when a big group came the restaurant was opened again which I wasn't made aware and told that If i needed something I could get it , which was not very pleasing. Carpets on the floor was shredd to threads at multiple patches, rooms indoor was not the way it looked in the pictures. I wouldn't pay $150 a night just for a sea side view, room's condition or the room service was not up to expectations( rather no one ever came back and asked for any service needed except one receptionist who was kind when we reached there to provide us the keys and towels) I guess I was given the worst room based on the price paid

Great views from balcony, shame about no dining facilities as not many options in Kingscote at the moment. Overall room was clean but air conditioner and bathroom exhaust filters filthy and clogged up. We cleaned them ourselves and then they worked fine.
