The unwavering commitment to rebuilding one of Australia’s most iconic luxury properties, Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island, has been rediscovered by Everett Potter for Forbes.
Southern Ocean Lodge is the epitome of combining a bucket-list location, luxurious accommodation, local community, and sustainability. The re-opening of Southern Ocean Lodge after the devastating bush fires on Kangaroo Island has almost the same footprint as the first, including 25 luxury suites that overlook the spectacular coastline.
“The hallmarks that distinguish all Baillie Lodges are present here. The menus feature local food, premium ingredients, and local beverages. Each property has a smartly curated display of local artworks and designs, including First Nations artworks. Each lodge’s architecture is designed to offer guests a personal encounter with the landscape, so you have the sense that the outside is welcomed in.
Sustainability is at the core of the design of the new Southern Ocean Lodge. The latest incarnation will be 25% more energy-efficient than the original, thanks to cutting-edge technologies employed to boost water capture and a solar battery hybrid energy system.”
