OzzieHolidayers 11/04/2021 TripAdvisor review

We stayed there from 31 March to 4 April 2021 and really enjoyed our stay. The team members were excellent (very friendly and helpful), the food was great and the amenities met our needs. Highly recommended Mercure Lodge to anyone visiting Kangaroo Island!

Thank you for your review We look forward to welcoming you back the next time you visit KI regards

Tranquil Location

kieronk71 12/03/2021 TripAdvisor review

Great quiet and peaceful central location, in between Penneshaw and Kingscote. Very helpful and friendly staff, TV reception can be tricky but that is no fault of the Lodge's. Excellent Restaurant with high quality food and staff.

Thank you for your review, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. I'll pass on your comments to the staff We look forward to welcoming you back the next time you venture to the Island regards

Nice comfortable stay

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

Andy B 11/03/2021 TripAdvisor review

Only real comment is that based on its (remote) location, the restaurant hours were a bit restrictive, especially breakfast 7:30-9, even an extra 30 minutes would be better allowing for a walk along the very beautiful walks available from the hotel before breakfast!?

Hi Andy, thanks for your comments they are appreciated. For most of our guests the 9.00am finish for breakfast suits as they are off touring the Island - or maybe doing the beautiful walks after breakfast. regards Ian

Great Place and lovely scenery

The Mecure Kangaroo Island Lodge was a very peaceful, comfortable place to stay. The food in the restaurant was excellent with great service. The rooms were clean and comfortable and all the covid-19 regulations were carefully addresses.

Hi Margaret We are very fortunate to be located were we are - surrounded by nature in American River. We have taken great care in regards to the COVID situation, so I am pleased that you found we have addressed this carefully and thoughtfully. We look forward to welcoming you back the next time you visit. regards

Service though now necessarily with a smile

5MAB2015 10/11/2020 TripAdvisor review

As an Accor member we chose this Hotel for this reason. Nothing really to complain about though the property and rooms are a little dated. Our room had a view of the lake along with having an outside area to sit outside and enjoy the view etc. We stayed for 3 nights and used the restaurant twice for Dinner and breakfast each morning. Dinner Menu is ok - could do with more choices but the quality of food is good. Service is ok - we were checked in by the Manager and he also was the main person in the restaurant at night but we did not find him to be overly friendly - got the impression it was just a job rather than having any real passion for the Hotel or its guests. This said he was very efficient. We had a Japanese lady serve us for Breakfast and she was friendly and efficient.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. I apologise for the service without a smile, the whole of Kangaroo Island is short staffed at the moment - though not an excuse, and it ended up a very long day. We are glad that you generally enjoyed your stay and found our award winning restaurant to your liking. We look forward to welcoming you back when you next venture down to KI regards

Sue at check in was great! The lady who checked us out was amazing as well. Sorry did not get her name.. All team members in the restaurant for both dinner and breakfast were super friendly. I wish I had noted everyone's names. Room was located facing american river! Beautiful spot and would definitely visit the KI and the hotel again.. Still so much to see..

Beautiful location and good size rooms however the property is tired and needs a makeover seriously Until this happens the cleaning staff should be briefed on cleaning standards. The rooms are dusty and musty

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. I have passed your comments on to the Housekeeping Supervisor as the rooms are cleaned daily and shouldn't be dusty or musty. regards

quiet location ideal for birds lover

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

Christiane-Hauterive Couples - 03/05/2019 TripAdvisor review

We stayed 1 night before taking the ferry next morning. Room was clean, bed comfortable. Very quiet location. We had dinner: food was very good. In the morning the cook feeds the pelican in front of the hotel (beach) and gives a lot of information about the birds. Very interesting. Leaflets are available for walks. In the evening you can look the walabies with a torch.

Thank you for taking the time to review Mercure Kangaroo Island Lodge, your comments are appreciated. We are glad you enjoyed your 1 night with us and we look forward to welcoming you back the next time you are on the Island. regards Ian

A relaxing escape

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

Tasjo Couples - 09/04/2019 TripAdvisor review

The Mercure Kangaroo Island provides a relaxing escape with great facilities onsite including a pool and restaurant. It is a 25 minute drive to get to the ferry. Well appointed room and friendly helpful staff. The serving size of the fish was very small for main course.

Thank you for taking the time to review the Mercure Kangaroo Island Lodge, your comments are important to us. I have passed your comment about the main course size onto the chef. We look forward to welcoming you back to KI Lodge when you next visit the Island regards Ian

Not value for money

TripAdvisor rating 2.0/5

Mobile12134706905 Couples - 26/01/2019 TripAdvisor review

This hotel is not value for money nor is it an Accor standard. The manger was very accommodating with refunding our money. The room was filthy and was just very basic and we had been upgraded. Not my ideal place to stay.

Hi Disappointed to see this review given our talk, both on the night offering another room, and when you were checking out. As we discussed, you were tired when you got back to the hotel on the night and didn't want to move rooms though one was offered. Once again, I apologise for the break down in our normal procedures and measures have been put in place that it doesn't happen again. regards Ian

David D Couples - 21/07/2018 TripAdvisor review

My wife and I had our first visit to KI staying 3nights in a water view room. Very comfortable although a bit dated & some areas in need of repair which we understand is happening soon. We were very warmly welcomed by management James and Leica. Other staff were fantastic (special mention for Anna & Cecilia for providing friendly and helpful service). Food in the restaurant is excellent & a great initiative to stock a large range of KI wines which are good quality. Looking forward to returning again.

Hi Dnk4162, Thanks for choosing to stay at Mercure Kangraroo Island Lodge. we also thank you for your warm review, we do hope we will see you again soon and you can enjoy some of the improvements made. Kind regards, James

Karen S Couples - 01/05/2018 TripAdvisor review

Fantastic staff, very helpful, great food and service. Location a little out of the way but great area for exploring the tiny township of American River. Easy enough to get around to the other tourist sights.

Dear Karen S, Thank you for your review. It is pleasing to hear that our location being 'a little out of the way' still suited your needs, we pride ourselves in American River as being away from the 'hustle and bustle'. A True Escape. It is always great to hear our staff are helpful and you enjoyed your food. We hope when you are next due for a relaxing holiday you come back and see us. Kind regards, James

A great place to stay on Kangaroo Island. Friendly, helpful service, good food breakfast and dinner, rooms are fine and lots of local wildlife to see. Ask about the local evening walk, to see wallabies, possums and etchinada
