They only allowed positive reviews. I hope the new hotel are more accommodating to their guests. We were actually moved from our room because a favored guest wanted her friends nearby. The food was less than adequate. I hope their new place is kinder and more considerate. They knew I was less than happy and I could tell they were waiting for my negative review which I did not write. I hope they checked everyday to write their negative reasons we were not to be believed. I know the hotel was burned to the ground. Yes, I did smile. As I am writing this review a decade or two later.

This place is amazing ! The location is remote, pristine and incredibly beautiful. The staff was friendly and very attentive. They truly make this place what it is. The food choices and quality were perfect. The rooms are fantastic - you might never want to leave your room. The views are insane. You can spend all day just staring at the ocean and daydreaming . We went for long walks along the beach and it seemed different each time we walked. We saw a large school of dolphins patrolling the shore and there is a magnificent Osprey with a huge nest near the shore. The hiking trails are great and are easy for all levels of hiker. Everything was included : tours , e-bikes, food & snacks and there is a huge variety of wines and liquors. The fridge in our room was well stocked and refilled each day. What an incredible experience. If you are looking for a very special experience with a small amount of people the Southern Ocean Lodge is for you.

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.

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.

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.
