KI Seaside Inn

The location was convenient in Kingscote, not far from the pub and Italian restaurant in town (drive). The room was fine with long bench for things like using your laptop. Car parking out the back with plenty of room but no direct access to the room so a bit of to and fro to the car/room, not a major issue. The TV wasn't working and we were unable to find someone to report to until the afternoon of day 2, which was Sun. (We could have phoned). The staff member (owner?) was helpful and tried a few things to no avail but a technician couldn't be organised until the Monday (understandably). The TV was replaced. We were offered a rebate, which would have been great as a compensation for not having the TV until the last night of three nights but it was never processed. (It's now 10 days later.) Insufficient power points in the room with no power points near the bed for things like a CPAP if you need one of those. The seaview is lovely but out the front of the room there is no separation from the other rooms, and we sadly had a very noisy group of people next to us who were outside with the noise coming very loudly into our room. The restaurant is not operating at the moment, despite being advertised. There is no cooking (not even a toaster), no net curtains, so the room is visible from the front if you don't draw the curtains, No facewashers. Overall fine but addressing a few minor things could easily turn the experience into a much better one. Nice walks/views across the road

The property is dated. We viewed our room but asked to see another, the second room was also dated (worn out chairs, carpet bulging in a few areas, the balcony chairs need to be changed) however, it was a better room. The view was stunning, balcony was great, overlooking the sea, easily accessible to the town, a good few places to eat, at all levels, it was a 2 minutes in car or 12 min walk.

This property was clean, basic and all you need for a cheap stay over whilst visiting the island. The rooms are dated, and reminded me of early Mr Dirk Diggler movie sets. Though once you're inside, you have all the basic amenities including a fridge, table and chair to work from, reclining leather chairs. It was comfortable, the bed was very comfortable. The location was surprisingly quiet except the noise of nature/wildlife. It was a very pleasant stay and extremely friendly and helpful staff. Though you need to check in before 6:30pm as I believe staff leave, though they leave instructions on how to get your key after hours. The only downside was the TV didn't work during my stay, no biggie as free wifi and laptop solved that problem. I learned on checkout that I could have called reception (they do operate after 6:30pm) to have it reset. There's no breakfast here either, so finding somewhere that was open for breakfast was challenging as the island is geared towards tourism. Again, the helpful reception signposted me some possibilities where to go. So if you're travelling and on a budget, you can't go wrong with this little gem. Thank you for making my stay comfortable.
