After our visit last year, nothing would do but a longer stay this year...could it really be as fantastic as we remembered? Well, better than ever!!! This time we stayed four nights and managed to spend one whole day around the Lodge: massages (wonderful Rebecca!), coastal walk and loafing around in our suite. Every single thing perfect, food absolutely delicious,... more

Truly one of the best places I have stayed and I have traveled on every continent. Southern Ocean Lodge is elegant yet comfortable and it is a place in which you wish you could stay forever. The pictures on the website don't do it justice yet are quite good. Each of the 21 suites has truly stunning views of the... more

I recently stayed at the southern ocean lodge with a friend and one word describes the place, "paradise." From the moment we were picked up at the airport (by Adrian-fantastic guide) to the moment were dropped off (sadly), everything was perfect. The lodge itself has incredible views, the rooms were great right down to the heated floors and the rainwater... more

Kangaroo Island was not on our planned itinerary for our Australia trip, it was suggested by our travel agent. I wanted to go as soon as I looked at the website and viciously defended the 3 days in the itineraty required to get there. We did not regret it, it was the highlight of our 3 weeks trip. Admittedly we... more

Absolute luxury, stunning natural beauty, and a once in a lifetime experience. The first thing you notice about SOL is the stunning contemporary design. It is extremely dramatic. Being in the home furnishing industry and having seen beautiful design around the world, even we were stunned at the architecture and clever design elements. The luxury goes well beyond the visual... more

We have just returned from four nights of absolute luxury at SOL. The staff are very friendly and helpful led by their fantastic managers Ben and Lou. The wow factor begins when you enter the main room of the lodge. The views are stunning and the decor is very tasteful. It is amusing to watch the faces when new guests... more

It's a long trip to get here and worth every minute of it. The rooms are spectacular. The public areas are breathtaking. The staff is always helpful and accommodating. We went for the wildlife and were not disappointed. Also, the oceanfront location is stunning. There is no luxury spared here. We stayed three nights and that should be the minimum... more

After having read the other revies here (and after having seen the amount my credit card was charged with) my expectations were truly sky high and they were more than matched. On a roundtrip in Australia this was by far the most remarkable stay. It was in fact the most remakable Hotel I have so far been to. (To give... more

My husband and I searched for a special property in Australia to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Southern Ocean Lodge was a great choice! We arrived via Rex Air to Kingscote and were met by Veronica from SOL. On the dirt road leading to the lodge we spotted a koala napping in a tree. This was one of many amazing... more
