Southern Ocean Lodge is Australia's first true luxury lodge, akin to the Super Lodges of New Zealand and sister property to the renowned Capella Lodge on Lord Howe Island. Exclusive and award-winning, the lodge provides an iconic accommodation experience redefining the Australian standard.

This is a lodge that truly complements its surroundings. Widely acclaimed as Australia's equivalent to the Galapagos Islands, Kangaroo Island is home to an abundance of native wildlife and spectacular natural attractions. With more than one third of the island declared as a conservation or national park, signature experiences with naturalist guides allow guests to encounter the abundant wildlife first hand and a walk among the sea lions is one of the island’s many privileges. A veritable feast for the senses, Kangaroo Island is a beacon for discerning travellers wishing to experience the very essence of Australia.

An architectural masterpiece, the lodge floats among the spectacular drama of the island's South West Coast, overlooking limestone cliffs and white sand beaches. At the heart of the lodge, the expansive Great Room offers cinematic Southern Ocean views. Twenty one luxury suites cantilever along the coast, reflecting the unique, elemental setting. Guests are invited to enjoy the lodge as their ‘luxe’ island home.

Lavish king-size beds, sunken lounges and dramatic glass walled bathrooms are common to all suites, as are outdoor terraces with occasional seating and inviting daybeds. Signature design elements as well as contemporary bespoke furnishings and artworks, commissioned from local Kangaroo Island artisans, harness the natural theatre of this dramatic landscape and environs.

The Southern Spa is a private oasis of calm in contrast with its dramatic backdrop. A destination in its own right, the spa fuses the unique landscape and location of Southern Ocean Lodge with the acclaimed Australian-made Li'Tya range of spa products and a signature menu offering cutting-edge treatments to more traditional ones inspired by Aboriginal Dreamtime.

Serving fresh seasonal produce, the lodge restaurant offers a sweeping vista of Hanson Bay and is the ideal place to savour contemporary Australian cuisine. A convivial open bar and walkin cellar highlight the region’s wines and provide the perfect ending to a day spent exploring this magical isle.

Its location, stunning views, contemporary environmentally friendly design, personalised activities and modern wellness spa offer guests an exclusive island experience. Sensitive, intimate and sophisticated, Southern Ocean Lodge is a sanctuary of refined comfort and luxury, Kangaroo Island style.
