An isolated pocket of wilderness offering some of the most authentic nature experiences

Get back to nature and roam along postcard-perfect beaches, walk through ancient landscapes shaped by time, and get up close to iconic Australian animals. The dining scene on Kangaroo Island is local, seasonal, boutique, artisan and always close to its source. Devour oysters metres from where they were plucked, pull up a seat under the boughs of a century-old fig tree for an unforgettable feast surrounded by nature, then wash it all down with a local gin or wine.
