Everything was great, except didn't take any add-ons as the prices were just prohibitive.
Advice: I'm not sure who would pay $20 per head for cooked breakfast items that they have to cook themselves....

Extraordinary
The Retreat was amazing. Amazing view from every room including the bathrooms. Above average cleanliness, extremely well thought out space, tastefully decorated, very well stocked kitchen and bathrooms with excellent appliances. The food was very very good and we looked forward to every meal. Staff were cheerful, friendly and helpful even giving us a free lift. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners that told us all about the area and had a great day trip on the secret seals tour. We really couldn't fault it, 3 nights not nearly enough time to fully absorb this extra special place. We will return.

Secluded getaway.
Very relaxing stay. Kangaroos on view all the time. We wanted a quiet peaceful getaway and that's what we enjoyed at Sea Dragon. I would recommend Casuarina Cottage where we stayed as it has a hot tub and a wonderful view.

Nature at its best!
We could not have asked for a more perfect place to stay 3 nights while we explored Kangaroo Island. After a comfortable hour drive from the airport we arrived before sunset in time to enjoy our delicious, hot pre-ordered dinner on our villa patio with views of playful kangaroos and the ocean. We spent our days exploring the island, easily making our way back in time to enjoy walking the property and down to the beach before dinners on our patio. The villa was immaculate, comfortable and well stocked. 5 star accommodations nestled in nature. We can't wait to return.

A R & R planned sojourn.
We came to see, taste, hear, smell and experience as much as possible on Kangaroo Island.
Given we should have allowed more time most experiences were achieved to our satisfaction.

What else could one ask for?
The Sea Dragon is a great place to stay. The location on top of a bluff with a fantastic view of the sea is just wonderful. Steve, the proprietor, couldn't be nicer. Wildlife abounds. And you have your own private beach. What else could one ask for?

Pleasant stay
Lovely view and very enjoyable stay. Delightful to sit on the balcony and chill out. Only a double, but wonderfully comfortable bed. Suggest some reading lamps in the lounge area as it is not light enough to read at night (and fix the broken ceiling light). Also, suggest refreshing breakfast provisions after a couple of days.

Kangaroo Island Retreat
My husband Mark and I stayed here for 3 nights for our fifth wedding anniversary last week.
Steven was so accommodating & upgraded us to the beautiful eco lodge villa with spectacular ocean views, private beach & delivered delicious dinners to us each night.
We also enjoyed the eggs from the free range chickens that were busy foraging around the property as well as watching the kangaroos graze outside our windows.
Very relaxing & we thoroughly recommend staying here.
