Reviews for Southern Ocean Lodge
Simply THE best
My husband and I are returning guests to SOL and it won’t be our last. The rebuild after the fire is stunningly beautiful w lighter stone work and a centralised spa. The hiking and swimming are exceptional but it’s the isolation and serenity that draws us back. The culinary cuisine and beverage selection is THE best and we felt in awe of the attention to detail and the international staff who can’t do enough to ensure your stay is enjoyable. We stayed 4 nights and felt that our batteries had recharged and we can take on the world.

Perfect for a family in every way
Amazing in every way. Breathtaking views, fabulous food, superior staff, abundant and awesome activities. Every detail is really taken care of for you. We were a family of 4, 2 adults and two teens traveling from North America. We crammed a lot into our days, but you could have easily stayed at the lodge and enjoyed all the amenities there. Guides, such as Jack, were knowledgeable, funny and very engaging with adults and children alike. Staff in the dining area were also engaging, warm and friendly. Suite was ideal for our family. Plenty of room for everyone's things, gorgeous views and the patio was perfect. Our family made memories that will last us a lifetime and as the children get older, that is priceless to me.

First class
We enjoyed 3 nights at the Southern Ocean Lodge. The weather was windy and cool but KI was empty which made our stay very special. Our room Osprey was $4000+ AU per night and it has a great view of the surf breaking on the beach. We were surprised at the lack of interest in our investment to stay in SOL’s top room on the property. The spa/pool a major feature of the room is heated to apx 75 degrees. DO NOT make my mistake and think of it as a special hot tub overlooking the majestic view. Management has decided you should enjoy your hot water in the shower. There is no recognition that you are paying 2.5 times the rate for your special suite. Same amenities, same options for activities, same expense to get to and from the lodge if you can’t make the twice a day transfer work. We rented a car so we were able to create our own schedule of activities. Recommend you check out the Wilderness park for close up animal experiences, Snake lagoon for a 2 hour hike, and the group nocturnal evening experience. The F&B program at SOL is one of the best we have encountered. If you enjoy fine cuisine you will find it at SOL. The Australia only wine list is complete, but for a three day stay we longed for some European wines to purchase. If we go back to SOL we would stay in a regular suite as the expense for Osprey is not a good value.

Wonderful stay
My Mum and I spent a few nights at SOL and it was a wonderful experience. The lodge is gorgeous, the staff are always accommodating and the surrounds are beautiful. We each had a lovely massage in the spa, possibly the best massage I've ever had! We thoroughly enjoyed our time and our experience. Thank you SOL!

Baillie Lodges does it again
If you've stayed at another Baillie Lodges property you'll know the quality of the product. If you haven't, then you are in for a treat. Sothern Ocean Lodge is incredible, food is amazing, and the staff leave you with the impression that you've made their day just by turning up. We stayed for three nights, arriving on the early plane and leaving on the late one. We thought, rather than hang around before check-in and after check-out, we would rent a car so we could do a bit of exploring. And this we did -- went to Cape Willoughby and up to Stokes Bay in the north, had a bit of a look around Kingscote etc. But in fact the car was probably a bit unnecessary -- other people there at the same time as us just used the complimentary transfer and that seemed to work very nicely. The Lodge takes care of you very well. We missed out on two lunches, but got to see a bit more of the island. For the duration of our stay, the car sat unused. If I did it again I'd forego the car and just let them take care of me from one end to the other.
