Destination

Located just 15km from the South Australian coast and graced with sweeping horizons of pristine wilderness, Kangaroo Island is treasured as Australia’s Galapagos. Kangaroos, koalas, seals, sealions, dolphins and whales frolic freely to everyone’s delight in this ‘zoo without fences’. Southern Ocean Lodge is located close to the island’s natural icons on the south west coast, allowing guests easy access while also affording an exclusive wilderness encounter.

Stay

Near perfect in its original incarnation, the design of the main lodge is comfortingly familiar with the Great Room and suspended feature fireplace at its heart. Twenty-five luxury suites ease along the curve of the limestone cliffs, each with open views of the Southern Ocean and rolling coastal wilderness. Signature design elements combine with custom-designed furnishings and commissioned artworks to offer private house seats for the natural theatre of this dramatic landscape.

Dine

Fine food and wine are at the heart of Southern Ocean Lodge and the new operation once again champions island-based and regional suppliers of food and beverages, where a commitment to using exclusively local produce is a veritable boon to the regional economy whilst offering guests a genuine sense of place, a concept essential to the Baillie Lodges guest experience.
