Kangaroo Island Wilderness Resort

Kangaroo Island is Australia's third largest Island located 16 km off the coast of South Australia. Brimming with wildlife, Kangaroo Island offers an intimate experience with the Australian wilderness; hand feed a Tammar Wallaby, paddle with Sea-lions or stroke a Koala amid the idyllic backdrop of beaches and bushland. Nature lovers and walkers alike will regale in this ‘zoo without walls’ that has been likened to the Galapagos Islands with its natural charm.

Perfectly situated, the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat is the only accommodation complex adjacent to the entrance of the Flinders Chase National Park - the most popular destination on the Island - discreetly nestled amongst 113 acres of beautiful rustic scenery.

The retreat works in harmony with its surroundings through a unique mix of eco-friendly features, exclusive guest facilities, pristine accommodation and a superb licensed restaurant. The heart of the retreat is the courtyard where friendly wallabies, possums and echidnas frolic with guests in the bushland garden.

The ideal positioning of the retreat also means you are only a stone’s throw away from all the Island's major landmarks and attractions – a Koala Sanctuary, Grassdale Kangaroos, Admirals Arch & Seals, Remarkable Rocks and more – all of which can be experienced through the unmatched walks & tours.
