About
Overlooking Nepean Bay in the heart of Kingscote, The Ellson Hotel is your base for island time — free Wi-Fi, spectacular water views, and a warm welcome on the town's main street. Every room comes with Wi-Fi, a Smart TV, bar fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, and a private walk-in shower — thoughtfully designed as your retreat after a day of exploring. Downstairs, Flo Restaurant & Bar serves breakfast, lunch and dinner from regional produce, in the hotel's original limestone guest house. We're directly opposite Kingscote's iconic tidal pool and steps from the town's shops, cafes and eateries, with Kingscote Airport just 15 minutes' drive away.
