You are invited to be one of the few to share this experience!

Acclaimed architect, Phil Harris of Troppo Architects, has designed Kangaroo Beach Lodges for stylish living, open-air indulgence and barefoot relaxation. The three lodges are set 50m above the cove on pastured slopes. The country here is wild, rugged and home to the largest sea cliffs in South Australia.

Each is fully isolated and oriented to enjoy its own uninterrupted views, space and privacy. Your Kangaroo Beach Lodge offers 240m² of luxurious holiday living and is fully-furnished with all high quality furnishings and fittings.

Catering at Kangaroo Beach Lodges
At Kangaroo Beach Lodges, we know that everyone's holiday experience and expectations are different. Some guests want to arrive, unpack, fill the kitchen with their own provisions and make themselves at home. Some ask us to pre-stock the pantry with fresh local produce ahead of their arrival (owing to the Lodges' remote location, this can add to the convenience, especially for those who are arriving late).

Others may want their stay to be fully-catered. We recommend ‘Kangaroo Island Source’, who focus on the gorgeous delicacies that Kangaroo Island has to offer. They will happily pre-deliver gourmet food baskets with all provisions required for you to prepare a first class selected menu for all meals of your stay or they will arrange the services of an experienced chef as required. (additional costs apply)

Shoulder Season - 01 September - 31 March - Minimum 2 night Stay
High/Peak Season - All Public Holidays and Christmas/New Year South Australia School Holiday Break - Minimum 4 night Stay
Low Season - 1st April 2011 - 31st August 2010 - Minimum 2 night Stay

Lifestyle at Kangaroo Beach Lodges
Fishing - For fish that doesn’t come fresher, take a rod down to Kangaroo Beach. Flathead, and mullet will often make a showing (great eating on your breezeway barbecue); if you spot the big schools of salmon trout swimming into the cove, get ready for some fine sport-fishing. Stuart can help out with basic rod and tackle if you haven’t brought your own gear, but if you want to get serious, we can recommend a guided Kangaroo Island fishing adventure to the deeper waters where the famous King George Whiting hang out.

Diving - The northwest coast is famous for its gropers, the remarkable Leafy Sea Dragon and its shipwrecks (one lying in the bay next to Kangaroo Beach). For an unparalleled offshore dive we will recommend the local dive company or for some gentler encounters off the beach, be sure to bring your snorkeling gear.

Walking - You are welcome to explore De Mole River Farm with its sea-frontage of nearly 10 kilometres - coves, cliffs and stunning views are waiting to be discovered. For those wanting to really go the distance, walking tours with a professional guide can be arranged, taking you through spectacular cliff and bush scenery into the Cape Torrens Wilderness Protection Area.

Island Tours - Local operators offer guided tours of the island’s many sights including famous Seal Bay, historic Kingscote, Little Sahara Sand Dunes and Flinders Chase National Park. Specialist tours are also available for lovers of art, food, wine, wildlife and history. Just ask us.

Sunset drinks - Take your favourite tipple to the western headland around from Little Kangaroo Beach, or, if you’re feeling energetic, scale the high ridge to the east - both vantage points offer sublime views of the setting sun.

Kangaroo Beach Lodges Location
Lot 509-511 Snug Cove Road, Gosse. Kangaroo Island. South Australia

Although isolated, Kangaroo Beach is within an easy drive to some of the Island’s main attractions, including Admirals Arch, Remarkable Rocks and Flinders Chase National Park. If arriving by car/hire car you are free to travel around the island or perhaps you wish to pre-arrange some private island touring.

Getting to Kangaroo Beach Lodges
Kangaroo Beach Lodges can only be accessed by private road through De Mole River Farm, an 8000-acre cattle property that has been in the Wilkinson family for 35 years.

De Mole River Farm is at the end of the Playford Highway, situated with wilderness protection areas located on either side. It is a 45-minute drive from the Island capital, Kingscote, but the farm also has an airstrip and can easily accommodate small private charters.
