Set on a cliff edge above the thunderous Southern Ocean, with a full frontal panorama that stretches as far as the eye can see, this luxurious retreat showcases the vivid colours of this south western corner of Kangaroo Island perfectly.
Twenty suites are raised, cantilevered above the bush and offer every conceivable creature comfort - sunken lounges and dramatic glass walled bathrooms, outdoor terraces with ocean views, sandblasted limestone floors and recycled spotted gum walls and local art work adorns the walls.
The Spa is a private oasis of calm, a destination in its own right and invites you to relax in a very pure and natural environment. A signature itinerary of daily excursions is included allowing guests to encounter abundant wildlife and unique natural attractions at a relaxed and exclusive pace.
