We ate at the Ozone Hotel twice for our evening meal. Great food and excellent service. Cactis Cafe for lunch and the food was wonderful service great. Scrumptious Cafe for lunch, my husband liked it, me not really. Amanda's Cafe twice for take away for our evening meal. Hamburgers and fish and chips. Fantastic ice cream cone! Bella Cafe and Pizza Bar. We had pizza 2 nights (we chose take away) and wow, great pizza! We loved the cliff path walk. Reeves Point and Bay of Shoals are a must. I loved the gift shop too. I wouldn't bother with American River unless you are a fisherman with a boat or you love fresh oysters. I wish we had made the effort to make sandwiches a couple of days because on the island you could start looking like a hamburger. The Penneshaw Post Office was a delight to visit. Really lovely people. We bought a great map there too. The chemist two doors up is small but the girl there was really lovely. If you have a prescription to fill they send it up to Kingscote to the pharmacist to have it filled and returned to you. We went to a lot of the spectacular sights. Highlights were Dudley Wines, Raptor Domain just beautiful and very informative. Millie Mae's Pantry is a must in Penneshaw. We had a ploughman's lunch which was excellent. This cafe is a true gem. Parndana is a must to visit in the centre of the island. Great people and the cafe was wonderful. For people with young children they have a great park which is fenced and that is where you find the toilets.

Kangaroo island has amazing wildlife and beautiful scenery. We saw penguins, sea Liam’s, wallabies and kangaroos in the wild. fFlinders chase national park is amazing and the beaches are empty. The one drawback is that the dining options are limited

Walked into town from the property to the pub, Queenscliff hotel-good food. Also went to local cafes and super market. Lots of shops shut as out of season (july) but still enough to enjoy a mooch around

Kingscote is a good base to explore KI. More time would be needed if you wanted to do the adventure stuff or family stuff. Visiting in late Autumn meant we were not interested in a lot of the water activities. Very pretty coastline.

We used Kingscote as our base and found it quite central to all the touring we did Thought there would be more food outlets for dinner but we managed with what was on offer There is a supermarket if we’d chosen to cook our own meals

Kingscote is the absolute heart of KI. Has awesome Restaurants and Cafes (Amadios Vino e Cucina, the Ozone Hotel and So Sando) and is so close to some awesome wineries (Bay of Shoals and The Islander) and KI Spirits, not to mention the KI Brewery. Awesome anytime of year. Be sure to take a drive from the Esplanade seaside to Bay of Shoals, the views are stunning.
