The 15 Best Hotels and Lodges in Australia - AFAR

"Perched atop grass-covered limestone cliffs on Kangaroo Island, this once-iconic luxury lodge was rebuilt after the devastating 2020 wildfires with a stronger focus on sustainability and minimal environmental impact. The property preserves its cinematic coastal footprint with 25 reoriented guest rooms and a dramatic main lodge that includes a Great Room with a suspended (floating) fireplace and a decked plunge pool; an ultra-premium Ocean Pavilion adds multi-bedroom, private-pool accommodations. Rebuild measures include a hybrid solar-and-battery system, rainwater harvesting, diesel reduction, elevated boardwalks and smart landscaping to protect surrounding coastal plants." - Jennifer Flowers, Krisanne Fordham, Laura Dannen Redman
