Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were looking for a getaway for a few days, somewhere quiet, with a view and a little luxury. Sea Dragon Lodge and Villas ticked all the boxes. We had good communication prior to arrival. The Sea Dragon team contacted us shortly after booking to discuss any needs and which of their services we may wish to utilise. From a fully serviced stay with meals and tours, through to minimistic options. They understood our needs and provided the service we arranged. We were met by Dave and given a run down of the property and the Island, it was very informative. We stayed in Banksia, a one bedroom villa, and the words my wife uttered as we entered said it all "Oh Wow!!". The villa was perfect for our needs, a kitchen, outside BBQ, great views from the living area and the bedroom, and a

Stayed in 'Kestrel' for three nights. Excellent and comfortable accommodation. Biggest draw card though is the location and the views. The weather was a bit mixed while we were there but you can just sit and soak up that spectacular view back to the mainland. Being able to take the short walk down to the private beach is another bonus. We opted for the supplied meals on two nights, while not cheap these were excellent quality with generous portions. The fresh baked bread is a great extra touch. The local staff were unfailingly friendly and helpful. Be aware that the location is very much off the beaten track and access is via several Km of unsealed roads, but it is well worth it. Only two minor critiques, there was a significant lack of drawer storage space in the bedroom and

Hi John, Thanks for the great review. Very comprehensive and greatly appreciated. Really pleased to hear how much you enjoyed the meals. There's nothing better than being on holiday and not having to worry about shopping or cooking, then coming home to a delicious meal. Also we really appreciate the feedback re storage and footrests. We have ordered ottomans to provide that extra bit of comfort and will be adding some extra shelves in the wardrobe. Thanks for staying and we would love to see you again. warm regards Steve, Gail & the team

We were so glad that our planned accommodation on KI was already booked out and that we stumbled across Sea Dragon Lodge. Thankfully we were allowed to stay with our children (who were all under the required age). We chose the Retreat as it was further from other lodging. Even though this is probably the most we have ever paid for accommodation it was worth every cent and exceeded our expectations on every level. The furnishings and fittings were top level, we loved the coffee machine that ground your coffee and the fact the TV allowed us to stream our own content! View and wildlife were amazing and we had the most incredible meals which included a seafood platter on our first night. We had requested a picnic hamper on our last day and there was so much food we used it

Hi, Thanks for the lovely review. We are delighted to hear we exceeded your expectations, as the whole team works really hard to make sure every guest has an amazing stay with us. The seafood platter you enjoyed is proving very popular. There's nothing better than fresh seafood, and Kangaroo Island has some of the best on offer. Our other home-cooked meals also show off the island's organic produce wherever possible and provide a range of delicious options. Thankyou also for you kind words about the staff, they were much appreciated. We would certainly love to see you back. warm regards Steve, Gail & the Team NOTE: We are an adults retreat, but accept children 11 years and older. Following the chaos caused by COVID 19 we made an exception in this case.

Peaceful, luxurious,seclusion. Best holiday we've had in many years. So relaxing, everything was perfect. Set among pristine wilderness, with stunning views to ocean and own private beach. Kangaroos happily hopping amongst the villas and up to our front door. Eco-villa was perfect - world class , beautifully decorated, sparkling clean, European appliances, everything you need. Greeted on arrival by very friendly staff who couldn't do enough for us, but totally respected our privacy. Bed was very comfortable with views to ocean, sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking. Breakfast supplies were varied and ample. We purchased dinner one night - superb range, more than enough for one night and delicious. There is so much to do on Kangaroo Island, and if you just want to just stay

We were delighted by the modern, spacious and well equipped villa, but we were were even more delighted by the spectacular view from the private deck. Staff communicated well prior to our arrival, provided great pre booked food and service, whilst at the same time remaining unobtrusive and giving us total privacy. Very highly recommended.

We stayed in the Lodge, which is perfectly laid out for two couples (or families): big common living area with private sleeping quarters on either side. Warm welcome, gorgeous view, all mod cons and then some. Stylish and comfortable. Then there is the island itself, with so much to enjoy and explore but you could be forgiven for not wanting to leave the property. Absolutely delightful

Hi Elizabeth, Thank you very much for your kind review. Yes the Lodge is perfect for 2 couples or a family of up to 8 (Ages 11+). The Lodge was our original accommodation when we started 12 years ago, and was refurbished 2 years ago to bring it up to the 5 star standard that you enjoyed recently. WE would love to see you again.

The Sea Dragon Lodge was a wonderful accommodation. The villa was large, with tastefully appointed artwork and furniture. The views were breathtaking and I loved waking up to kangaroos wandering the property. They have a private beach, and provide a fully stocked pantry and all the breakfast essentials. The kitchen was perfect for cooking our evening meals. They also have a very kind and welcoming staff that provided good recommendations for sight seeing and checked in on us during our stay. It was a perfect stay on KI.

We had the most enjoyable, carefree, relaxing time at SeaDragon lodge, even in the middle of Winter over the shortest days of the year. The Casuarina Deluxe Spa Eco-Villa provided all we could ever need and then some, with the private beach, wildlife at your doorstep (literally), local bushwalks, and attentive-from-a-distance team really just some of the cherries on top of a great holiday destination. To come back from a days hiking or exploring to a hot jacuzzi on the deck, ready for enjoying a bottle of local wine as the sun dips below the horizon, was truly a luxury worth having. We had great meals at the Penneshaw Hotel and Sorrentos and, when my fishing escapades ended in disaster, Steve slipped us some of his own King George Whiting catch for us to cook up in the villa

We arrived to a well appointed cabin with a spectacular view and greeted by Dave who was very welcoming, he showed us around the cabin and gave great advice on local places to visit. The cabin offered everything we could want for, finish, furnishings and appliances were of high standard. Our cabin included a Spa which added to the luxury of our stay. We have visited KI many times but this was our first stay on the Dudley peninsular, we found the whole area as beautiful as anywhere on the island and all within easy reach.
