The Australian Good Food Guide lists the price level as “$$$$$”, its highest indicator, though this is based on the guide’s own classification rather than specific dollar amounts. Accommodation prices vary: TripAdvisor shows an indicative nightly range of US$124–US$181 for a standard room, while Booking.com and Expedia list current cabin rates (check each site for the latest). The best course for accurate pricing is to call the hotel directly or check the booking platforms.
Location and getting there
The Parndana Hotel is located in the town of Parndana near the centre of Kangaroo Island, about a 25-minute drive from Kingscote Airport (KGC) and a 5-minute drive from Parndana Conservation Park. Visitors typically reach the island by ferry from Cape Jervis (Sealink) or by air to Kingscote. From Kingscote, follow the Playford Highway west, then turn north onto Wedgewood Road.

The central location makes it a practical base for exploring both the north and south coasts of Kangaroo Island, as Hotels.com notes in guest reviews.

Both offer restaurant and bar services and are listed on major booking platforms. The Parndana Hotel’s advantage is its central location, giving easy access to the island’s quieter western and southern regions.
