What hotel should I stay at when going on a vacation to Kangaroo Island in Australia to see the sea?

The main hotels and guesthouses in Nan'ao Island are concentrated in two places, one is Houzai County and the other is Qing'ao Bay. Because Qing'ao Bay has the only beach on the island, which is also one of the best beaches in Guangdong Province, most tourists will choose Qing'ao Bay as their first choice.

Xunhai Holiday Apartment

Located in the Bihai Lantian Community of Qing'ao Bay, the community is right next to Qing'ao Bay. The environment of the community is much better than the surrounding environment of the village homestays, clean and hygienic, with a European-style garden. Guests can change into their swimsuits in the room and walk directly to the beach along the community path, which takes only a few minutes. After swimming, they can return to the room to rinse off, which is very convenient.

Aochen Boutique Apartment

Aochen Boutique Apartment is quite similar to Bihai Lantian Hotel Apartment, but the former is relatively more upscale. Both are located in the Bihai Lantian community and are currently one of the larger hotel apartments in Qing'ao Bay. Having served as the manager at Aochen for a year, I am quite familiar with the room types. The biggest feature of Aochen Apartment is the wide variety of room types available, including some unique room types (though limited in number).

South Australia Gold Coast Beach Apartments

The beach is right downstairs, and you can see the sea from every balcony. This should be considered the best room in Qing'ao Bay, and of course, the price should also be the most expensive.

Lingtao Inn & Shanhai Inn

The homestays are mainly concentrated in three villages in Qing'ao Bay. Currently, there are estimated to be over 100 homestays of various sizes, all of which are standard rooms and quite similar to each other. For relatively unique small homestays, we recommend Lingtao Inn and Shanhai Inn, both run by young people from other places who rent houses to operate. They pay more attention to service and travel guides. Most of these homestays do not have sea views, but the room rates are much more affordable compared to hotel apartments. Fortunately, the homestays are also relatively close to the seaside, and many guests walk to the beach to swim after changing into their swimsuits directly in their rooms.

Seaside Amusement Park Hotel/Peninsula Holiday Hotel

Seaside Amusement Park Hotel/Peninsula Holiday Hotel are the earliest hotels in Qing'ao Bay, with main buildings that are five to six stories high. The biggest selling point is that they are right next to the Qing'ao Bay beach! They are fully equipped with tea rooms, small shops, changing rooms, and more. It takes only one or two minutes to walk from the rooms to the beach swimming area.

Xintao Resort/Century Building/Nanhai Pavilion

These are some of the older hotels in Nan'ao County. Xintao's sea view rooms are nice, offering views of Qianjiang Bay. Century Building and Nanhai Pavilion have relatively higher floors, providing a more expansive view.

Golden Beach Sea View Apartment/Sea View Really Beautiful Apartment

Walking along the coastal road in Houzhai, there are many real estate projects within a kilometer. Most of them are renovated into hotel apartments. Therefore, there are many options for sea view houses in Houzhai, relatively more than in Qing'ao Bay. Many sea view apartments, represented by Golden Beach Sea View Apartment/Sea View Really Beautiful Apartment, have very good cost performance. They have balconies with sea views or rooms with bay windows to see the sea. When the weather is good, the sea view is really amazing!

Silk Road B&B/Dalang Dalang Theme Inn

There are a few B&Bs in the county town of Houzhai that are quite good, with distinctive decorations. For example, Dalang Dalang has Hello Kitty themed rooms and dormitory rooms. Although you can't see the sea from the B&B, the prices are affordable and it's convenient to go to Qianjiang Bay to see the sea.
