Southern Ocean Lodge

Welcoming guests back following an extensive rebuild in 2023, Southern Ocean Lodge comprises just 25 contemporary suites and pavilions with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows and chic limestone floors. Luxuriate in your stylish sanctuary with an EcoSmart fireplace, original works by local Kangaroo Island artists and unbroken views of the infinite Southern Ocean.

The dining experience at Southern Ocean Lodge is a gastronomic journey of Kangaroo Island, with ingredients sourced from local artisan providers and South Australia’s mainland regions. Breakfast, lunch and four-course dinners are included in your stay and are served in the main lodge restaurant overlooking Hanson Bay.

Relax in The Great Room where Kangaroo Island’s wilderness surrounds you, listening to the pounding waves of the Southern Ocean from the outside deck or while soaking in the heated outdoor plunge pool.

Adjoining both Flinders Chase and Cape Bouguer National Parks, the emphasis on any stay at Southern Ocean Lodge is discovering the great outdoors, the unique landscapes, flora and fauna of Kangaroo Island.

A choice of signature experiences is included at Southern Ocean Lodge, a half-day excursion takes you to Flinders Chase National Park where you can marvel at the Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch, rock formations carved by thousands of years of wind, rain and pounding waves. Walk among the Australian sea lion colony with a Lodge naturalist at Seal Bay and witness the antics of kangaroos and wallabies as they graze at Grassdale while you enjoy a glass of local wine and canapes.

If after a day of adventure and discovering Kangaroo Island’s delights you feel the need for a revitalising body treatment or soothing massage, Southern Spa offers a menu of rejuvenating treatments using Australian-made spa products and Kangaroo Island ingredients.

Southern Ocean Lodge welcomes children 10-years-old and over.
