Perfect Flinders base
Unfortunately our stay was cut short by bushfire but the day and a half we spent there was nice. It is a great location to explore flinders Chase National park which is magnificent and nearby Hanson Beach is stunning. The retreat even has some small nature walks around the property that we saw some great birdlife on (they have their own bird blind so bring your camera). The bbq area is great and we enjoyed some home cooked steaks so don't be afraid to ask the restaurant to borrow what you need - they were very helpful. The manager handled the bushfire scare really professionally and calmly and we were upset to leave - we did not get to try the restaurant which some locals in town told us is great.

Nature all around!
We tried early check in but the room wasn’t ready. When we finally did check in we got a little tour of the property, complete with a wallaby chomping on some plants nearby. The room itself had a funky, musty smell but was clean overall. The heater worked well, though the power tripped a couple of times (kind of expected that far out in nature!) Dinner in the on-site restaurant was delicious. Breakfast was good too with a buffet. Overall a great, affordable stay in the heart of nature!

Was disappointed that the advertised safari tours are only every other night and not at all during the day during low season months. Hotel location is fab. Access to the national park until midnight per the ranger. Ideal if you want to be in the park.

Lovely location, easy access to nature walks including the resident Koala, restaurant food was very nice. Only downside was limited access to wi fi from main lobby.

6/10 Good

This 'retreat' is certainly near the wilderness, and makes a lot of money because of that. The room rates were twice as high as anywhere else on the island, and I'm not sure why. If you dine locally, then the food is excellent, but pricey for what you get. I guess you are paying for freight and all sorts of other things.

Great family holiday
Really enjoyed my stay with my wife and two teenage daughters. Great place to relax and enjoy the national park.

It is very well located. I don’t think it should be rated four star as the rooms were basic. However the water pressure in the shower was the best ever.

Comfortable stay at KI Wilderness Retreat
The upgraded room had a good size space and included a kitchen. We ate dinner there both nights. The food was excellent and it was lovely dining al fresco with wallabies hopping in the garden near us. Close to nearby sites like Flinders Chase Park, Kelly Hill caves.

Wonderful stay on the edge of Flinders Chase Park
We had a fantastic stay here- if you want to experience wildlife and nature then this is the place for you! Definitely take the evening nature walk, that was amazing, so many animals.
