We stayed there for a night during our trip to KI. The cabin is clean and well equipped. You wake up with birds singing right at your door. The only cons I can find is the food is pretty expensive for some junk food such as chips and nuggets but well considering its in the middle of nowhere... So if... More

We have recently moved to live & work on the Island, and wanted to explore a little of what it has to offer. We opted to stay at Seal Bay cottages as it was exceptionally priced and located close to a few attractions that we wanted to visit. The staff were fantastic & friendly, and nothing was too difficult for... More

I started by dropping in for a meal and ended up staying for a week. That's the effect the place had on me! The food, coffee and service was great! The owners, Uzi and Efi are beautiful people who are very friendly and helpful. The cottages are in a secluded spot nearby. If you didn't know they were there you... More

We stayed 5 nights at the lovely Seal Bay Cottages, we were in cabin #5. It was a fantastic experience! There are so many types of birds all around the premesis, and as both my partner and I love bridwatching we enjoyed every moment. In the evening we were visited by a little kangaroo, which was very exciting for the... More

I stopped in for a coffee at the cafe and found the brown liquid half filling the cup to be absolutely undrinkable. The place is dirty. I saw two plates left on the tables covered in rat droppings - thank goodness I didn’t ask for a meal there. There are two dilapidated vehicles parked in the car park which haven’t... More

We spent 3 nights at this lovely venue next to Seal Bay on Kangaroo Island. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the cottages were cosy and comfortable, the staff even brought us dinner to our cabin! It was a very convenient location, we visited Seal Bay, Little Sahara, Vivonne Bay, Flinders Chase National Park and all the wonderful places... More

Seal Bay Cottages are pretty centrally located on the island on the main south coast road about 15 minutes drive from Seal Bay and some amazing beaches. We arrived latish in the day checked in and raced down to the beach to find it completely empty and perfect for drinking a glass of wine. We literally used this place as... More

The cabins are located in a bushy area and very removed from the accommodation so you need to be prepared to be self sufficient, which we were. We paid over $150/night and expected a better equipped and less tired cabin. No egg slide in the kitchen made cooking pancakes a bit complex but the real problem was not one extra... More

Just what we needed- a quiet simple cabin surrounded by nature- in a group of 5 cabins. Very peaceful, lots of birds and places for the kids to explore and no TV. There was an open grassy area just afew minutes walk away, in front of the reception area, where the boys could play soccer. Lovely sitting on the deck... More
