Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island

Nice rooms with great views and excellent location. We saw penguins at nearby Kingscote Wharf around sunset. The restaurant serves contemporary Australian dishes with some specials. We love the slow cooked beef ribs and spicy coconut pork curry. We will definitely stay here again!

Location is excellent. Room was modern, upgraded and clean. My room was across the street from the restaurant but it didn't matter. The lift was small but fast. It was a nice surprise to have a spa bath in the room! Comfortable stay and I would recommend this hotel. Wanted a chicken schnitzel but none on the menu!

Was so happy with my stay. Asked for assistance and was in place before arrival. Bed was very comfortable, clean room and great sized bathroom. Can not wait to return. Had dinner in main restaurant and was good. Was happy with wine list that introduced me to new wineries. Very happy.

Awful dining experience – avoid We only went to the Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island for dinner with my family, and it was a terrible experience from start to finish. The staff were rude, dismissive, and clearly uninterested in providing decent service. We felt unwelcome the moment we arrived, and any interaction with staff felt abrupt and unpleasant. The food was extremely disappointing and absolutely not worth the price. The quality was poor, portions were unimpressive, and the flavours were bland. For what they charge, the food should be excellent — instead, it felt overpriced and underwhelming. Overall, this restaurant is trading on its location rather than offering good food or service. Our family dinner was ruined by unfriendly staff and overpriced, low-quality food. We will not be returning and would not recommend this place to anyone.

I was disappointed with our first room which was not as I expected, not really suitable for me as a disabled person. On the second night there was an issue with our room when a water leak was discovered. The bathroom and adjacent carpet were very wet. We were given another room in the newer building across the street. This room was much better quality than the original room. The staff who dealt with the problem were excellent. Their customer service was exceptional. Our thanks to everyone involved.||The dining room food was first class, the waiters friendly. Made our visit very enjoyable.

The rooms were great, we stayed in the suites across the road and found them very tidy and quiet. We went for dinner in the restaurant and the service was slow for drinks and our meals. We waited 40 minutes for our meals to arrive which was not acceptable. Some people were receiving their meals before us even though they had arrived after us. I would recommend the Queenscliffe Hotel in Dauncey street for a better meal and service.

When I arrived it looked quite a good hotel with nice rooms even if the furniture is rather old. There is a good restaurant with nice staff. What disappointed me a lot was that my room hadn't been made the following day: they didn't clean the room, didn't make the bed, didn't change towels in the bathroom. At least it was good to have the kettle to make a cup of tea.

The rooms are pretty rubbish. We were originally in an 'executive room' but had 2 skip bins directly outside our room which a restaurant was emptying into every 5 minutes. So we switched to a family room. The ceilings are paper thin and we could hear every footstep from above. The hot water was out for a whole day and the bathroom tap (both ours and the next room over) made a screeching noise when it was turned on. Breakfast was ok but they use powdered eggs to make their scramble which is... bizarre and stingey.

I read the reviews before going to Kangaroo Island. I headed the warnings and went with a higher category than the cheapest. Hoping for an upgrade? Just book what you want and not what you hope for. Yes a $70 room will not be an Executive Seaview room or anything close. Word to the wise, book direct with the hotel, not a third party website. (This goes for ANY hotel reservation because you have flexibility as apposed to trying to contact your third party at check in) We weren't quite sure where reception/check in was, so we walked around one building, then the other building. Even when we walked right by reception, it didn't even occur to us that the "window" in the hallway was where to check in. We checked in mid afternoon and we weren't sure a room would be ready. Surprise, it was and we were given keys right away. Went to the Executive Sea View room, which was modern, had great air con and a comfortable bed. Unfortunately the promised balcony didn't have furniture and would not would it fit any (corner room closest to street, very skinny balcony). Returned to reception to inquire about a possible change and we were shown a room that is an add-on section to the original hotel. If you are facing the restaurant from the ocean, these rooms are to the left. Book these rooms! Don't go lower. Unobstructed views of the ocean (see picture), modern, awesome air con, stylish, good sized balcony and comfortable bed. We sat out on the balcony both nights and enjoyed wine after dinner (everything in Kingscote closes early). Cool breezes and peaceful...indulge, you're on holiday, right? Breakfast (brekky) was adequate, not spectacular. Very basic, but if replenished, you have the makings of a decent meal. Slightly expensive for the offerings. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel based on my experience. If I ever find myself back on KI, I wouldn't hesitate to return to Ozone.

The hotel is fine, but just don't eat dinner here. I ordered a hamburger, medium rare. It came out well done, and the cheese wasn't even melted. The Szechuan calamari was not very crispy and it certainly didn't have any Szechuan seasoning also, the night we were there were numerous huge parties, and so the service was very slow

Pro: - convenient location to some of the restaurants and tour pickup. This was key given that we were late on getting a car and was a bit stranded for two out of the three days without a car - right next to the sea. One could hear the waves falling asleep - the views from the restaurant are fantastic. Grab a drink vs. eating there. Con: - the beds are extremely hard. I ached from sleeping on the bed. Difficult for a side sleeper - the bed sheets don't seem to be changed when they get dirty and showers aren't cleaned on daily basis. Feels more like an apartment rental. - the reception is more for basic things rather than concierge. One would need to book its own group tour etc. - walls are super thin. We are lucky that none of our neighbors stayed up late but one could hear all of the television noise going through the walls. - don't eat at the restaurant. I had the eggplant with lentil dish. It wasn't really edible. I can cook better than this at home. - no one gives you direction on how to get in during after hours. Tip: if you get stranded outside after 9pm, use the small key (at the bottom of the stairs on the right) to open the sliding doors. Once you get in, the usual access is locked if you are on the other side of the hotel (apartment 1-5). you would have to go to the second floor, across the way, then go down stairs to get to the other side of the access door. Best places around the hotel: Foodland for grocery Bella for dinner (closed on Sunday) Amadio for wine bar Cactus for breakfast/lunch Caltex for fish and chips

We stayed here because: 1.) We flew to KI 2.) For our first night (of 5) - we wanted to stay someplace where we could get a good dinner 3.) We wanted to ensure we could stock up provisions to stay more remote after It was the perfect start to 5 days on KI. What did we get? 1.) Very friendly people; advice on where to go/what to see 2.) A great dinner - surprising for us - the other 4 nights we cooked on our own (not as good) 3.) A breakfast with a lot of choices - both hot and cold - stoked us up for a lot of hiking 4.) A large room with ample heating facilities (we went in June when it was in the single digits) 5.) A nice view of the bay 6.) An easy walk to attractions in town - and a well stocked market for provisions.

This was where our tour arranged for our stay. Hotel itself is fine, though I could never get our room warm. Place was clean and spacious and not too loud. Nice amenities and tra service in room. Restaurant was overpriced. The descriptions sounded amazing, but the actual product was a bit disappointing. The service was abysmal. I really wanted dessert, but finally gave up because I was tired of waiting an hour for the staff to come check on us again. Not sure what happens on a busy night. Not a lot of choices in town, I'd be okay staying at the hotel again, but would definitely try somewhere else for food.

Just had a fantastic dinner, food was wonderful and the staff were always sming.

The hotel is nicely located but the housekeeping is atrocious. Floors with hair on them and waste baskets not emptied from previous guests. Empty Kleenex and toilet paper not replaced and no spares in the room. Floors still not cleaned even after bringing the problems to their attention. Internet was spotty and one had to repeatedly sign on. Personnel were extremely nice. The restaurant was VERY slow although again, the staff could not have been nicer. Portions were very large tho the quality of the food for both breakfast and dinner was mediocre. In retrospect, a high quality B & B would have been a better choice.

We stayed here for two nights. The rooms were outdated but clean. The restaurant food was poor. The steak was very tough to cut and chew, the chicken was a bit rare, and the breakfast appeared not to be refreshed through out the morning. Almost half of the items on the menu were unavailable. Other items were extremely over cooked and inedible.

I have been visiting the Ozone every 6 months for the last 6 years, and for most of the time the food has ranged from passable to pretty good. The highlight was when they had resident Sri Lankan chefs doing authentic cuisine from that nation. We ate at the Ozone a week ago expecting the same reasonably priced, decent quality food served by staff who were polite and cared whether the meal was satisfying. We were extremely disappointed to end up with 3 meals that none of us (myself, wife and 2 children) could complete. The soups and curries had disappeared from the menu, so I chose the "Wagyu" schnitzel. It was tough, chewy, bland and oily. If it was Wagyu, it was cheap cast offs marketed for gullible people. My wife had the fish and chips. The battered fish had lumps of uncooked flour in the batter. My kids shared the beef hamburger which they declined to complete. On tasting it I understood why. Apart from the beef patty which was very salty and over seasoned, it was bland and dull. Even the aioli for the chips was bland. This misery meal set us back 80 dollars! The staff made no attempt to talk to the meal with us. Very disappointed. Go to the local fish and chip shop instead. I am ashamed that this is what most tourists (many of whom are from countries where you have to search to find bad food) will experience as Kangaroo Island food. I will certainly not be returning.
