Ulonga Lodge - Your Gateway to Kangaroo Island

Kangaroo Island is Australia's third largest island and lays on the margin of the Great Southern Ocean. It is a timeless place of splendid isolation, harbouring endless white beaches, waterways and untouched bushland. A nature lover's ultimate pleasure, the island is home to Australia's richest variety of plant and animal life. The wildlife, scenic beauty and isolation of this sparsely populated island combine to affect a place of peace and tranquillity.


The island hosts a wide variety of high quality tour guides to suite every taste and budget. Should you bring or rent a car, we are happy to customise an itinerary to suit your personal interests. Most roads are sealed with attractions easy to find. For those looking for off the beaten track adventure, we can offer many alternatives.

	However, the island is more than just a place of great natural beauty. It is a place of history where tough men and women have fashioned a life on the land and the surrounding sea over the last two hundred years. Many tall ships have run afoul of the islands rugged coast during powerful winter gales, sadly ending the lives of countless hardy sailors. There are quiet museums, isolated lighthouses and numerous roadside monuments to be found, as you make your way around. There you can learn and contemplate about the spectacular doings of these remarkable pioneers.

The island is also Rural, and is known for its country friendliness and hospitality. Not a local will pass you in their car without a friendly wave. The islanders are proud of their islands undeveloped natural beauty and it's produce, and are happy to tell you about it. Kangaroo Island produces award winning wines and cheeses, free-range poultry, olives, marron (a fresh water lobster), crayfish, abalone and the most succulent of fish, the famous King George whiting. All of these foods and more are to be found in gourmet restaurants and cafés in picturesque settings dotted about the island.
