After two years in operation, Southern Ocean Lodge took a break mid-July this year as an opportunity to do some refreshments (ie maitenance) in and around the Lodge.
It was a different feel for Southern Ocean Lodge; many department heads swapped hats to get stuck in to the nitty gritty!
Some fast facts:
- Some 180 tonnes of Italian limestone sandblasted and resealed
- All carpets in 21 suites steamcleaned
- All interior walls of suites and the 270metre long breezeway repainted
- All reclaimed timber floorboards polished
- All outdoor teak furniture re-oiled
- 1200 seedlings planted around the Lodge site. The seeds originated onsite and were propagated at the KI Seed bank before returning for planting
- Around 500 loads of yacca mulch distributed around the Lodge
Southern Ocean Lodge reopened to welcome its inaugural Expedition Kangaroo Island, and a fully booked Lodge.
Fires burning, wine flowing, the Southern Ocean gliding icily by outside. It’s the place to be.
