If you are looking for an amazing luxury holiday in South Australia, then book into the Southern Ocean Lodges on Kangaroo Island. Spend some time in the intimate surroundings and friendly staff to truly experience this rugged land and seascape, part of Australia's unique southern coastline. Return home relaxed with loads of truly amazing memories from your stay in this 5 star hotel.

Fly into Kingscote airport on a scheduled or charter flight from Adelaide and take the Lodge transfer or book a luxury private transfer in a Mercedes. Travel over the dusty roads, typical of the Aussie outback. The luxury five star hotel sneaks up on you, sitting on a ridge high above the ocean. Generating its own power, with floor to ceiling windows throughout the complex, the Lodge is completely eco-friendly.

There is plenty to keep you busy at the Lodge: aboriginal inspired health treatments, steam room and chill out room at the spa as well as gourmet meals with a menu which changes daily for your delight. The restaurant draws on the local fresh produce, creating a table for the most discerning diner. When you include the local seafood and the wonderful South Australian wines your dining experience will be complete.

Stay in one of the completely private 21 suites of this five star resort, spread out along the ridge high above the water. Go to sleep listening to the Great Southern Ocean pounding on the limestone cliffs below. With king beds and a sunken lounge, a glass walled bathroom with the spectacular view from the tub and a large balcony with day bed to capture the sun, you may just not want to explore the Island. Enjoy the heated limestone floor and the methylated spirit fires. This is truly luxury travel at its best.

Explore Flinders Chase and Cape Bouguer National Parks in one of the signature itineraries the Lodge is renowned for. These are guided and introduce you to the abundant wildlife on the Island. Don't worry, you won't miss out as they are run daily. Explore the Kelley Hill Caves, introduce yourself to the sea lions at sunrise, visit the local artists and enjoy their work. After dinner, take some time to watch the heavens on the comfortable stargazing platform. These luxury tours are all inclusive. Private charters are also available.

Just when you think you have done it all, the spa calls to you. Bathe in the locally produced ligurian honey bath salts. Feel totally relaxed in one of the face and body treatments, based on some of the indigenous plants. Shower with rainwater in the glass walled shower and end the session with a body and scalp massage. What pampering!

Southern Ocean Lodges in South Australia is a truly amazing experience which will stay with you for years to come. It is luxury travel at its best.
