Southern Ocean Lodge is located at Hanson Bay on the island's southwest coast, and adjoins both the Flinders Chase and Cape Bouguer/Kelly Hill National Parks.

Set back from a cliff with the pounding surf below, this iconic, luxury lodge has a full frontal panorama of the stunning coastline and is within easy reach of all of Kangaroo Island's key attractions.

Set in natural bushland overlooking a spectacular section of coastline, the organic luxury of the contemporary lodge will ensure guests have every opportunity to relax and explore the Island’s wonders with a dash of indulgence.

Each of the twenty-one luxurious suites features lavish king sleeping areas, a sunken lounge, dramatic glass walled bathroom and outdoor terrace with occasional seating and daybed. The hip suites have been cleverly designed to bring the outside in with huge glass walls, fusing the breathtaking scenery outside and plentiful creature comforts inside.

A sweeping panorama of Hanson Bay is a dramatic backdrop for enjoying contemporary Australian cuisine and the daily changing menu honours the abundance of fine local ingredients available. During your stay you might like to try your luck at beach fishing - the chef will be delighted to cook your catch for you.

Southern Ocean Lodge offers guests a complete Kangaroo Island experience and selected guided experiences are included in your stay here - encounter rich and varied wildlife, indulge in world class food and wine, and discover the island's unique natural attractions, often on an exclusive basis and always with a touch of luxury.

Cooking lessons focusing on island produce and fresh seafood are a great way to take a little piece if Southern Ocean Lodge home with you and for those in need of a special treat, the signature spa menu offers a range of traditional and cutting edge spa experiences including relaxation treatments inspired by the Aboriginal dreamtime.
