BreakFree Wirrina Cove

Although the staff were polite and accommodating to some extent, the venue IS quite rundown, untidy and well outdated. On arrival we were greeted by a cheerful young man. However, behind the reception desk there was everything from vacuum cleaners, linen, photocopiers, paperwork, high chairs, bags, cleaning products to name a few misplaced things. When we went to our room we were faced with broken windows, leaves in the hallway, bird excrement, and an enormous fan which appeared to be blowing out the musty smell. The room was clean, but very outdated and we were disappointed the TV didn’t work and did not enjoy having to climb into a bath to have a shower! We noticed an al a carte menu in the reception when checking in, however the only choice we were offered was Chinese when we went to order dinner. The food was just acceptable. The drinks were well priced. Then at 8:24pm we were advised they were closing in 20min….. at 8:34pm we told to leave as they were closing. Breakfast was another experience entirely….. the table we sat at for dinner was still uncleaned from the night before, warm iced coffee, uncooked sausage, raw roasted tomatoes, uncooked bacon and ‘forgotten’ orders. Overall a very underwhelming and overpriced experience that will not be repeated any time soon.

Our stay was an overnight in winter so we just experienced the enormous rooms, comfortable beds and silent environments. We understood that the resort should offer much more entertainment in sunny weather but what we got was pleasant and the position quite useful along our ride.

Sincere thanks to Mark and the team for exceptional service. Everyone was so friendly and helpful it really made our stay so enjoyable. We received a golf view room upgrade and room was fresh and clean with very comfy king bed and crisp linen. We dined both nights in the restaurant with delicious Chinese menu, top wine list and views over the golf course complete with the antics of around 20 kangaroos! Again impeccable service! Breakfast also excellent and I recommend the continental plate, such a lovely selection of cereal, fruit , yoghurt and pastries! Also played 18 holes on the on site golf course, very well maintained course. Overall our stay was wonderful and the team were absolutely lovely!

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights while attending a wedding in the area. We chose the resort as I am a Platinum level Accor member, and we honestly had the best time. Firstly, the resort needs some work (pull your finger out Accor). While the grounds are well maintained and the golf course takes centre stage, there’s currently only a few refurbished rooms (of which we stayed in one - room 1). There was nothing wrong with our room and as it was a golf course view room we had an amazing view. I’m not sure about the non refurbed rooms - but other reports are they are a bit dated. The resort only fully operates on a Friday and Saturday night, so for a mid week stay they shut reception at about 4pm and there’s no evening dinner or drink options other than a trip into Normanville or Yankalilla. We receive a call that asked our check in time so that after hours check in procedures could be explained to us (had we been arriving late) We had comp breakfast each day, which was simple but ample. The staff were ALL amazing and did their best to ensure we had a great stay, and if it is wildlife you want, there are Kangaroos on your doorstep. Considering it’s proximity from Adelaide and the KI ferry I am not sure why this place is not packed - and we are already planning a return journey. Relax, unwind at very reasonable prices Oh and the golf course is terrific!

Wir benötigten eine Übernachtung am Weg zur Fähre nach Kangaroo Island. Nur in New Terry Hotel fanden wir noch Unterkunft, alles andere war ausgebucht. Nur wenige Zimmer waren besetzt, was aber beim Gesamtzustand des Hotels nicht verwundert. Die Anlage ist sehr groß und es bestehen noch sehr große Ausbaupläne. Allerdings sollte vorerst der bestehende Teil des Hotels entsprechend renoviert werden. Wir hatten ein Standardzimmer (Nr. 110) mit kleiner Terrasse. Das Zimmer war oberflächlich sauber, aber die Fenster waren sicher schon lange nicht mehr gereinigt worden. Die Einrichtung war alt und sehr abgenützt. Die Sitzbezüge der Sessel waren zerrissen. Das WC war nicht gereinigt! Es waren noch Reste von Exkrementen vorhanden!!! TV funktionierte nicht. Internet nur im Bereich der Lobby. Personal sehr freundlich.
