Named after the leafy sea dragons who live in the waters off Kangaroo Island, Sea Dragon Lodge is an ideal base for immersing yourself in the wild landscapes of South Australia's favourite island. The beautifully furnished guest rooms offer sweeping ocean views and the chance to encounter curious locals including kangaroos, wallabies and echidnas. For the ultimate stay, opt for the Luxury Ocean View Villas which feature a fully equipped kitchen and an outdoor bath on the balcony overlooking the bay. Just a short stroll away is Cape Willoughby lighthouse and Pink Bay, a secluded cove with white sand and turquoise waters framed by granite rocks where you may spot dolphins, fur seals or even whales in the sea (if the season's right). Daily breakfast and a two-course dinner are included, which showcase the Island's local produce. The onsite hosts are as local as they come, and will ensure you know the best walk trails and artisan providores of Kangaroo Island to experience while visiting their island home.
