Best Kangaroo Island Luxury Accommodation
The modern B&B accommodates two luxury resort Kangaroo Island people and includes traditional breakfast, access to a barbeque, a balcony with 180-degree-views of Island Beach, an independent entrance for guests – and the option of a tailored itinerary. Situated in the town centre and spanning a whole corner block, the Seaview delivers on all the conveniences of its central location while still providing guests with a tranquil escape. Purchased by 1834 Hotels in 2021, the Lodge has already undergone an initial transformation, with behind-the-scenes upgrades to the property and a refreshed food and beverage offering.
Celebrated around the world as the pioneer of experiential luxury in Australia, Southern Ocean Lodge crowns the wildly beautiful clifftops on Kangaroo Island. At the end of your day sightseeing our vast, remote, unspoiled & beautiful Island, retreat to your 'home away from home' to plan and dream of the following days adventures. Centrally located between Kingscote and Penneshaw, American River combines a sense of retreat with easy access to Kangaroo Island’s key attractions.
There are also BBQ facilities, a sheltered picnic area, a playground, and a water source. Discovery Lagoon Caravan and Camping Grounds also offers an Eco-Glamping cottage that runs 100% on solar power, with heating for the winter and AC for the summer. Located in Newland, within 45 km of Flinders Chase National Park, Roolagoon Homestead offers accommodation with air conditioning. A stay in one of the three self-contained properties at Antechamber Bay Retreats is a fully immersive experience of Kangaroo Island’s most coveted natural treasures. The property’s award-winning fine dining offering, Reflections Restaurant, is an excellent place to dine for an evening.
I stand here, locked in place, waiting to see if they make a move. After 10 minutes like this, I turn to get settled into the tent but throw a final look in their direction; they’ve slinked back down, now barely visible in the grass. Dreaming of a break fuelled by great food and wine, interspersed with nature-based activities and accommodation that feels like home? A thoughtfully reimagined boutique hotel will open in 2026, offering elevated accommodation options on Kangaroo Island. The rammed-earth architecture makes this property feel like it fell from the sky, with more of a Moroccan vibe than a KI rhythm.
Choose from three bespoke luxury retreats – two Villas and the Residence – each designed to be eco-friendly using 100% pure Kangaroo Island rainwater and an off-grid solar energy system. 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. Enjoy the Oceanview story with each villa incorporating special OEV Sky Windows, designed so that you can lie in bed, and watch the stunning sky overnight, from the warmth and privacy of your bedroom. Our signature Oceanview ensuite bathrooms feature a large bath, twin shower heads and basins, and bifold windows opening to the costal breeze and stunning ocean views.
The new villas will be delivered by Wabi Systems, a trusted national construction partner. Based on Wabi’s Banksia 1 Model, the elevated villas will feature expansive glazing and glass balustrades, designed to capture the landscape from every angle. Whilst we have a 2 night minimum stay, we recommend staying at least 3 to 4 nights especially if you are coming from interstate or internationally to get the most out of your trip.
There are no neighbours in sight at Wild Side Ocean Retreat, but we are close enough to civilisation to allow you to explore all the gems of Kangaroo Island. False Cape Wines is our nearest neighbour, located a 10-minute drive down the dirt road from the house. Also in the area is Dudley Wines – a must-visit for the view alone.
Located on the eastern end of Kangaroo Island, not too far from Penneshaw, all the accommodation comes with incredible ocean views surrounded by pristine wilderness. From one-bedroom villas for a cosy getaway for two, to an apartment that can house up to 8 guests – perfect for a girls’ weekend away or a small family reunion. Southern Ocean Lodge is Australia's first true luxury lodge, offering a unique and exclusive travel experience on Kangaroo Island in South Australia. Enjoy the Fully Tailored Experience with three-course dinners prepared by private chefs, full breakfast and refreshments, including local produce, and premium Kangaroo Island and South Australian wines.
Large windows bring the outside in, seamlessly connecting the incredible living gallery surrounding it, with the luxurious and cosy relaxing space inside. There are only two of the two-bedroom villas available, sitting high on the cliffs overlooking the north coast of Kangaroo Island. Guests can relax in the private outdoor hot tubs, and enjoy a range of activities such as hiking, wildlife spotting, and beachcombing. The house includes two bathrooms and a lovely kitchen, dining, and living area opening up onto a deck with views over the ocean.
It is in the middle of nowhere with wildlife's natural landscape on your doorstep, we saw kangaroos and echidnas. We ordered food to be there when we arrived (breakfast and evening meal) which took the worry out of organising meals. The food was all locally sourced and fresh with famous Kangaroo Island wines. Because Ecopia is a working wildlife sanctuary with exclusive access to a stretch of the Eleanor River, guests can step off the deck and explore inland habitat that most visitors to Kangaroo Island never see.
Designed by Australian golf consultant, Darius Oliver and set atop 500-million-year-old cliffs overlooking the Southern Ocean, the 18-hole course is being positioned as a destination in its own right. Looming just over the horizon is this dramatic new links-style golf course, which is expected to open for preview play in early 2026. It’s already attracting national and international golfing community attention. If the villas answer a long-standing accommodation need, The Cliffs Kangaroo Island may change who visits – and when. Careful consideration was given to every aspect of your experience in this beautiful retreat, and all the decision made with the environment in mind.
From opulent villas overlooking the ocean to lavish eco-lodges nestled in bushland settings, Kangaroo Island offers an array of luxurious accommodation options that combine comfort, style, and sustainability. The Clifftop boasts a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living areas, and luxurious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Guests can relax on the large deck while enjoying a glass of wine and watching the sunset over the ocean. The property is conveniently located near local attractions, including Seal Bay and Little Sahara, making it an ideal base for exploring the island. The Clifftop is perfect for families or groups looking for a luxurious getaway. Set amidst the beautiful Flinders Chase National Park, Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat offers a unique luxury experience that immerses guests in nature.
Featuring accommodation with a pool with a view, sea view and a patio, The River Suites, Kangaroo Island is located in American River. Drawing inspiration from the nearby natural wonder, Admiral’s Arch Alcoves are architectural masterpieces. Built from native stone and timber, they sit harmoniously within their rugged surroundings. Each alcove boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, revealing vistas of the roiling ocean and the majestic arch itself. Personalised cave tours, rock fishing excursions, and seal watching are just a few of the adventures awaiting guests. For guests not wanting to travel far, spend the day walking, swimming, paddle boarding, snorkelling and picnicking on magnificent Emu Bay beach.
As guests soak in the ocean-view spas, the aroma of fresh seafood wafts from the in-house restaurant, promising a culinary experience that’s pure Kangaroo Island. But it’s the beachside adventures, from horseback rides at dawn to sunset cruises, that truly capture the heart. Sea Dragon Kangaroo Island is a boutique, adults-only (12+ years) luxury retreat. The 250-acre coastal estate offers stunning ocean views, wildlife and a pristine, secluded beach. Family owned and operated since 1986, we are the island’s premier tour operator.
