Kingscote Australia Oceania
LuxuryNatureRemote

The Southern Ocean Lodge is located on Kangaroo Island, which is mostly a huge nature reserve.

The sun-baked limestone cliffs, crashing waves, and unfettered wildlife will certainly inspire you. Sea Lions, Koalas, and Ospreys are common sights here.

Update:

Southern Ocean Lodge was destroyed in the bushfires that spread across the western end of Kangaroo Island in January 2020, and the property is now closed. They are working on re-opening it by 6 December 2023.
