Recently my daughter and I had the opportunity to experience Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island. From the moment we landed in Kingscote, we were treated like royalty. We were quickly whisked away in a comfortable and luxurious van for our hour long roadtrip to the southern side of the island. Upon arriving at the gated property, each guest receives a warm welcome and glass of bubbles. No queues at this check-in. With your own Guest Services member, guests are seated in the Great Room facing the magnificent view that is the Southern Ocean. Here guests receive an overview of the Lodge, their accommodation, the meals and their personalised touring itinerary.
