The full online review will be available online from 1 March 2011; stay tuned! Meanwhile please see following for an excerpt from the Hideaway Report.
‘It has been some time since we’ve been as impressed by a new hotel as we were by SOUTHERN OCEAN LODGE, which opened in March 2008. At the end of a long, bumpy road, iron gates swung aside, and shortly thereafter, we caught our first glimpse of the property, perched high above Kangaroo Island’s spectacular southern coast.There, dramatic wind- and sea-gouged cliffs are scoured by white-crested breakers and punctuated by glorious white-sand beaches…
…On a memorable four-hour excursion to Flinders Chase National Park, we saw dozens of Australian sea lions and New Zealand fur seals, volcanic blowholes, several historic lighthouses and numerous kangaroos, wallabies and koalas. Southern Ocean Lodge was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip to Australia.’
All of Andrew Harper’s recommended properties possess exceptional character, a commitment to classic hospitality and a profound sense of place. Mr. Harper does not evaluate hotels by means of a checklist, but uses his three decades of experience to distinguish the truly enchanting from the merely excellent. Southern Ocean Lodge is delighted to be among the best of the best properties worldwide to receive his recommendation, which came initially in 2008.
