Southern Ocean Lodge Kangaroo Island luxury lodge
accommodation Australia
Southern Ocean Lodge is Australia's first true luxury lodge, offering
a unique and exclusive travel experience on Kangaroo Island in South
Australia. Floating atop a secluded cliff on a rugged stretch of coast,
the lodge commands peerless views of the wild Southern Ocean and pristine
Kangaroo Island wilderness. Sensitive, intimate and sophisticated,
Southern Ocean Lodge is a sanctuary of refined comfort and deluxe Kangaroo
Island style.
Southern Ocean Lodge aims to provide an iconic accommodation experience
on Kangaroo Island and is designed to be a sanctuary of comfort, style
and personal intimacy, redefining the Australian standard.
Located at Hanson bay on the Island's south west coast, the Lodge
site adjoins both the Flinders Chase and Cape Bouguer / Kelly Hill
National Parks. Set back from a cliff above the pounding surf the
sensitive design showcases a full frontal panorama and is within easy
reach of all of Kangaroo Island's major attractions. Modern luxury
and design integrity meld with Kangaroo island vernacular and an amazing
coastal colour palette, creating a unique eco chic style.
Its location, stunning views, contemporary environmental design,
locally sourced food and beverages, personalised interpretative activities
and modern wellness spa ensures its status as a South Australian icon.
Eat and Drink
Dining at Southern Ocean Lodge is both a dynamic delight for the
senses and a true gastronomic journey of Kangaroo Island; the 'produce
to plate' approach is a real passion for Chef Matthew Upson and his
team.
Celebrated as Australia's culinary capital, the rich soils and pure
rains of South Australia inspire artisan growers to produce a bounty
of premium, fresh and often organic food and wines.
The daily changing menu honors these fine local ingredients with a
cuisine style at once sophisticated and simple to promote the intense
purity of flavors and to create a very special dining experience,
unique to the Island and to Southern Ocean Lodge.
An excellent range of diverse Kangaroo Island and South Australian
wines and beers has been hand selected to comprise the beverage menu.
Rates include all dining and all beverages (cellarmasters list additional).
