Wish You Were Here: Southern Ocean Lodge, Kangaroo Island
www.awol.com.au
Sugar-white beaches, luxury accommodation and a National Park right at your doorstep. No, it isn’t some far off dream land – you can find this isolated piece of paradise just off the South Australian coast on Kangaroo Island.
Just a short ferry ride from the city, the Southern Ocean Lodge is a luxury wilderness escape located just south of the island in Hanson Bay. One of Australia’s first luxury nature retreats, the Southern Ocean lodge is found on a clifftop overlooking kilometres of untouched beaches. The secluded accommodation offers views of the Southern Ocean on one side and the beautiful leafy-green wilderness of Kangaroo Island on the other.
There are 21 luxe suites on offer, each with a commanding view of the untamed wild of the island. The lodge offers exploratory guided trips to see all the island has to offer – there’s access to the Flinders Chase National Park where you can spy natural coastal flora, or even a day trip to see the sea lions at Seal Bay.
A sanctuary like this doesn’t come cheap – a night at the Southern Ocean Lodge will set you back roughly $1100 per person per night.
