About the hotel

Wake to American River Bay and the kind of quiet that eases you into total relaxation at this boutique retreat. Mercure Kangaroo Island Lodge sits between the bay and four acres of native bushland, where birdsong in the trees and kangaroos bounding around remind you where you are before you’ve even set out.

Wander the bushland trails by day, refresh with a dip in the outdoor pool, then settle in by the fireplace at the Lodge Bar & Lounge with a glass of local red. Reflections Restaurant is a strong reason to stay in for dinner, with a menu that changes with the island’s regional produce.

The lodge sits within easy reach of the island’s biggest names, with Seal Bay’s wild sea lions about an hour’s drive south and Flinders Chase National Park a worthwhile day-trip across the island.

Great service!
I have just returned from my first holiday where I was astounded by the value for money, so on my return I went straight back online to book my next break. Excellent service received from Joel S today when I needed to amend my second booking. Happy days!
