Where to stay in Kangaroo Island

Kangaroo Island, off the coast of South Australia, is a wildlife sanctuary with seal colonies, koalas, echidnas and some of the country's least spoiled coastline. After the 2020 bushfires many properties were rebuilt, and today the island has a small number of high-end lodges and private retreats, many perched over the sea.

Where to stay

The south coast has the cliff-top lodges; the north coast has beach villas; Kingscote and Penneshaw are the most convenient for ferries and shops.

Good to know

Reach the island by a 45-minute ferry from Cape Jervis or by a short flight from Adelaide. Spring and autumn are comfortable, and wildlife is on show all year.
