First look at the reinvented Southern Ocean Lodge
Baillie Lodges’ flagship property, Southern Ocean Lodge, has reopened after a full renovation on the south coast of Australia’s Kangaroo Island.
Southern Ocean Lodge’s original architect Max Pritchard and his team have led the recreation of the property, which holds almost the same footprint as the original.
The 23 suites have been reoriented to open towards the south-east, each taking in uninterrupted views of the Southern Ocean and coastal wilderness. All guest suites feature private decks, an EcoSmart fireplace and sink-in bathtub.
New to the property is the ultra-premium Ocean Pavilion, which offers either a single four-bedroom owner’s residence or two separate two-bedroom suites. The Great Room terrace now boasts a wet-edge pool, while new surrounds for the Southern Spa allow for three treatment rooms, a gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge pools.
Sustainability-focused technologies include boosted rainwater water capture and solar power generation, smart building materials, a remote-controlled sprinkler system and a reinvigoration of the surrounding natural environment. Around 45,000 biodiverse native plants have been propagated onsite and planted in a natural buffer from the wilderness.
Prices start at AU$3,400 per couple per night, including all dining, the open bar, five signature Kangaroo Island experiences and airport transfers.
