Accommodations

Blending seamlessly with Kangaroo Island’s raw coastal wilderness.

Southern Ocean Lodge features twenty-five luxurious suites designed to blend seamlessly with Kangaroo Island’s raw coastal wilderness. From the cliff-framed Flinders Suites to the ultra-premium Baillie Pavilion, every space offers panoramic views of the Southern Ocean, a limestone fireplace, a king Baillie Bed, and a private terrace. Each suite includes a generous ensuite bathroom with a freestanding bath, oversized rain shower, and signature Southern Spa amenities.

The Remarkable Suite offers two bedrooms, each with its own ensuite and a shared plunge pool, ideal for friends or families travelling together. The Osprey Suite, positioned at the far end of the boardwalk for enhanced privacy, features a private infinity-edge plunge pool and expansive ocean views, making it perfect for couples seeking a secluded coastal sanctuary. The ultra-premium Baillie Pavilion crowns the clifftop with four bedrooms, four ensuite bathrooms, two living spaces, and two heated plunge pools overlooking the wild coast. The Pavilion may also be booked as Baillie Pavilion East or Baillie Pavilion West, each a spacious two-bedroom residence ideal for families or small groups.
Pool + Gym

A tranquil spot to unwind.

At the heart of the lodge, adjoining the Great Room, guests will find a heated infinity-edge pool that seamlessly merges into the panoramic horizon. The pool terrace offers a tranquil spot to unwind, soak in the surrounding coastal scenery, and listen to the thundering sounds of the Southern Ocean below.

The Southern Spa houses a gymnasium equipped for guest use, providing a serene space to work out amidst the natural surroundings. The spa complex also includes three treatment rooms, a sauna, and outdoor hot and cold plunge pools overlooking the native wilderness, creating a holistic wellness retreat that balances exercise with relaxation.
Spa

Signature experiences designed for complete renewal.

Nestled among the coastal heath, the Southern Spa is a private sanctuary overlooking the wilderness and open skies. The spa features three treatment rooms, a sauna, gymnasium, and outdoor hot and cold plunge pools, creating a serene retreat to reconnect body and soul. Treatments use alkeme, an Australian-made spa range crafted from native botanicals such as Ligurian honey, lavender, and eucalyptus from Kangaroo Island. Signature experiences include the Southern Sojourn body ritual, Remarkable Hot Rocks stone therapy, and Alkeme Dreaming—a three-hour full-body and facial ceremony blending earth and sea elements for complete renewal.
Restaurant + Bar

Showcasing Kangaroo Island as a culinary hub for artisan growers and food producers.

Dining at Southern Ocean Lodge is an experience in itself, showcasing Kangaroo Island as a culinary hub for artisan growers and food producers. The restaurant’s menu changes daily, driven by seasonal and regional ingredients sourced from South Australia. Guests enjoy a full gourmet breakfast, lunch, and a four-course dinner, all complemented by sweeping views over Hanson Bay. The dining space’s open design allows guests to feel immersed in the island’s landscape while enjoying world-class cuisine.

Located in the Great Room, the feel-at-home bar is available throughout the day, featuring a curated selection of premium wines and spirits with a Cellarmaster's list available at an additional cost. A walk-in wine cellar highlights boutique South Australian labels, while the Great Room’s central suspended fireplace and ocean views create a relaxed atmosphere for pre-dinner drinks and shared conversation.
