THE HOTEL
The Southern Ocean Lodge is defined by superb contemporary design, astonishing location and first name service. 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, to create a unique eco chic style.
The twenty-one superb suites command mesmerising views of the Southern Ocean as they cantilever along the coast. They are the ultimate fusion between a breathtaking wilderness setting and unbridled creature comforts. Interiors feature lavish king beds, sunken lounge, dramatic glass walled bathroom featuring Southern Spa amenities and an outdoor terrace with occasional seating and daybed.
Signature design elements such as sandblasted limestone floors and recycled spotted gum feature walls, as well as contemporary bespoke furnishings and artworks commissioned from local Kangaroo Island artisans, harness the natural theatre of this dramatic landscape.
