Our favourite friend, baby Willow is growing bigger every week and is now spending her days and most nights outdoors in the bush with the other Tamar Wallabies that call Southern Ocean Lodge home.

She does however still like to call in about the same time every afternoon for a bottle, a scratch, a cuddle and even a photo or two for our guests.

Southern Ocean Lodge is excited to welcome little ‘Willow’ the Tamar Wallaby to her new home. Eight month old Willow was found lost and wandering in the staff village, and has decided that luxury accommodation, a friendly family of staff and guests, and knockout views of the Southern Ocean are the way to go!

Up the road from Southern Ocean Lodge is Vivonne Bay, home to National Geographic’s popular voted ’Best Beach’, a prehistoric-looking landscape of green grasses, sandy tracks, yakkas and the gateway to the enormous white sand dunes, the Little Sahara.

The area is populated by abundant wildlife, including the Short-beaked echidna, Rosenberg’s goanna, the Tamar wallaby and the Kangaroo Island kangaroo, and it’s perfect for the adventurer!

Pick up a sandboard from Southern Ocean Lodge to surf the towering white dunes, reminiscent of the Sahara but looking to the Southern Ocean and imagined Antarctic.

This is perfect for anyone, and loads of fun.

Or for a faster ride, join the crew at Kangaroo Island Outdoor Action for an afternoon of thrill-seeking behind the handlebars of a quad-bike. Look out, Mad Max!
