Hotel Of The Day: Southern Ocean Lodge, Australia

Today’s Hotel of the Day has one of the most scenic views you’ll ever find in Oz, with a laid-back luxury vibe.

Southern Ocean Lodge is Australia’s first true luxury lodge, perched on top of a rugged cliff. Suites have lavish king beds, dramatic glass walled bathrooms and breathtaking views of the great Southern Ocean.

Where exactly is Southern Ocean Lodge?

You’ll find this beautiful lodge on Kangaroo Island, which is Australia’s answer to the Galapagos. Kangaroo Island is teeming with native wildlife and guests encounter sea lions, fur seals, kangaroos and koalas up close.

What’s so special about this hotel?

The lodge has an ‘at-home’ feeling, with an open bar and walk-in cellar featuring an exclusively South Australian wine selection. Basically, it’s the type of hotel you’ll never want to leave.

Floor-to-ceiling windows look out at the Southern Ocean waves crashing below. Guests are given a personalised itinerary for their stay, so you can make the most of the Kangaroo Island experience. After you’ve spent the day hiking or kayaking the island, you’ll have canapes and drinks before a dinner of incredible local produce.
