Travel Weekly reports the rebuilding of Southern Ocean Lodge has commenced in a sod-turning ceremony on the lodge’s original site on Kangaroo Island’s remote southwest coast, noting the event was attended by owners James and Hayley Baillie, the Premier of South Australia, Steven Marshall, Southern Ocean Lodge Managers, John Hird and Alison Heath, and architect Max Pritchard.
“Works are set to begin immediately, with the new-look Southern Ocean Lodge – dubbed ‘SOL 2.0’ – slated to open in the second half of 2023. Investment in the project is forecast at around $50 million, with up to 70 tradespeople engaged for the duration of the build. When the lodge reopens it will provide employment to more than 50 staff.
‘It is a remarkable achievement from the entire team at Baillie Lodges to commit to bringing back an absolute icon of South Australian tourism,’ Marshall said.” – Travel Weekly.
