Mercure Kangaroo Island Lodge

The location of the property is good. The staff were great! The downside of the property was the poorly maintained room. Taps dripping and not being able to be shut off. The place looks like a child had painted the trim. Retrofit cupboards looked like some home handyman had fit them in the place. Not really the standard you expect from the brand. I'm sure that if they attended to basic maintenance and refreshed the rooms, it would be great. Perhaps they just shoved us in an old room. We didn't see any other rooms.

A great hotel with good food and very friendly people! Would love to come back! The room was clean and with a great bed. The location was perfect for trips around the island. Had breakfast and dinner which was a very good!

This hotel has a very comfortable restaurant with a varied menu with excellent food. After a day of exploring the island it was nice to get back to the room and just walk a short way to the restaurant for dinner. There is a breakfast option as well but we did not take advantage of it. The room was comfortable with a nice porch and view of the harbor but it was ready for a re-decorating. Anzac cookies in the room were the best we’ve had!

We stayed at the Mecure during a recent trip to KI. There are some really good aspects of staying here. The rooms are clean and the bed was comfortable. The rooms are very large for a motel room and there is a well equipped kitchenette. Our room had a balcony ehich overlooked thec water. However while cleane, the rooms could benefit from an update with a revamped bathroom and new carpet. There is a lovely restaurant which served delicious meals but not many other dining options in the area if you plan to stay a while. America River is a little out of the way but the nature walk behind the Motel provided a great opportunity to see the Glossy Black Cockatoo in their natural habitat

We stayed 2 nights with a coach party and had to pre order breakfast both days and dinner the first day. The service for pre orders was very very slow. Breakfast on the las day was served an hour after the time we’d pre ordered it for. Meanwhile guests who hadn’t pre ordered were served quickly and left well before our food arrived cold. I complained at reception but was offered no apology or formal complaint process. The food itself was fine other than being cold, but breakfast choice is ver limited. Basically bacon eggs or muesli, but smartly presented in different ways. Dinner was fine when we didn’t pre order. Room spacious. Location wonderful. Great wildlife and views of the ocean across the road. No competition for food locally.
