Awesome Hotel + Experiences. Excellent food, lodging, tours, experiences, staff in an amazing hilltop location overlooking the water. Located at the end of the island about 1 hour from the airport. Adelaide to Kangaroo island flight is only about 30 minutes. The airport is tiny - no security check on departure. The rooms are modern, perched on the edge of the hill with panoramic views of the ocean beach and ocean below from your room or deck. Modern baths and furnishings. Note: Some rooms have very open plan showers that have no doors to the living area. Kangaroos are all over the property; and wallabies at dusk. The wildlife tour is fantastic - Koalas, Snakes, Birds, Seals, Sea lions etc. etc. You may get very lucky and find a platypus. Lots of ocean views and geological features as well... something for everyone. The lighthouse tour on the property is worthwhile with stunning views and lots of history. Sheep shearing tour on nearby farm as well along with honey tasting to keep you busy. Lots of stars at night without the city pollution to obscure them. read more

We researched hotels, renting cars, and/or tours of Kangaroo Island and finally found Sea Dragon Resort. They offer a place to stay and curated tours of the island, transportation provided. This was such a lucky find to take care of all our needs. They also provide transportation from the airport or Penneshaw ferry, which we used. They are located at the end of the east peninsula and as we turned into their property, we finally saw wild Kangaroos!!! There were so many! I think they like this area and feel comfortable to be in this beautiful space with tourists. This resort has cabin style units with a central reception/ dining center where breakfast and dinners are provided. The units have recently been upgraded and are simple and luxurious and clean, with all the amenities you will need. The breakfast was simple but very tasty with eggs, bacon, several types of breads, fruit, yogurt and granola or muesli. The dinners were just delicious and novel. We saw so many animals on our tour in their natural environment: kangaroos, koalas, echidnas, sea lions, fur seals, Australian turkeys, wallabies, and goanna lizards. The tour to Flinders Chase National Park was a long drive but so worth it. The Remarkable Rocks and Admiral's Rock were just beautiful. This was such a great stay, beautiful location, friendly staff and tour guides, and so many animals!! I highly recommend this resort. read more

I will run out of superlatives when describing the Sea Dragon Lodge. It is a diamond...a gem..and a truly wonderful experience. My room was elegantly designed and decorated. Every amenity was offered. I had a gorgeous view of the water; kangaroos were often hopping in front of my door. Karin, one of the owners, has thought of everything. She is lovely, very warm and welcomes you as if she was inviting you into her home. The food was fabulous and her staff... friendly and helpful. You are treated like a trusted friend. Our travel agent suggested this lodge as she was planning our trip. I am so grateful because it was one of the highlights. Gloria Cohn Redwood City, CA read more
