On Dec 6th 2023 The Southern Ocean Lodge, owned by the Hayley & James Baillie, re- opened after the terrible fires that hit Kangaroo Island in January 2020. (Hayley is the daughter of the famous Dick Smith)

Fire Southern Ocean Lodge

Originally opened in 2008 it bought a a high end luxury Accommodation & Hospitality to Kangaroo Island while showcasing our beautiful landscape, animals and produce.  When starting again Southern Ocean Lodge’s founding architect, Glenelg based Max Pritchard, was asked again to design a property that resembled the original but with some considered adjustments and elevation to the landmark. Not forgetting to include “The Great Room” with its suspended feature fireplace. The Kangaroo Island sculpture “Sunshine” made from reclaimed tractor parts, Sunshine, survived the fire and its back in its rightful place in the lobby.

Sustainability remains at the heart of Southern Ocean Lodge with new technologies being incorporated. Water Capture and solar power generation but most importantly , fire breaks, flame resistant plantings, bushfire sprinklers with advance electric pumps and other safety systems that have been installed.
