Louth Island is a thrill-seeker’s paradise while also the home of some of Australia’s most tranquil and immersive experiences. For one, you’re able to ride off the beaten path on an exhilarating buggy tour to an array of hidden gems, taking in and snapping pictures of the enamouring scenery as you go. Alternatively, why not embark on a relaxing catamaran cruise? From the comfort of your vessel, you get a stunning backdrop of the rugged coastline while indulging in a gourmet charcuterie board.

By speaking with our Travel Specialists, we can help tailor-make every experience you wish to enjoy.

Che Metcalfe initially bought Louth Island with the vision of retiring and turning it into a private island for himself, friends and family. But after spending more and more time there, he discovered just how special it really is. Now, his aims of developing South Australia’s first ever private luxury eco retreat are coming to fruition. Today, it’s an environmentally conscious, unique tourism offering.

The project has been meticulously planned to care for and regenerate the environment of the island. Completely powered by Australian-made renewables, the eco retreat provides you with luxury without you realising the complexity of the sophisticated technology that goes into its operation.

Another sustainable initiative can be seen through the native ingredients Executive Chef Jono Sweet uses in his dishes, foraged on the island – including the likes of samphire, ruby saltbush and ice plant.
