Arkaba Flinders Range, South Australia Southern Ocean Lodge Kangaroo Island, Near Adelaide, South Australia Two years after Baillie Lodges’ awardwinning flagship property Southern Ocean Lodge was razed in the Kangaroo Island bushfires, the rebuild of the globally celebrated luxury lodge gathers pace and is set to reopen in the second half of 2023. The rebuild will largely maintain the original lodge footprint with 25 luxurious guest suites easing along the coastline. In a deft design manoeuvre, each of the suites has been reoriented to offer even better views of the ocean and coastal wilderness, where the eye was always drawn to the glorious sunrise, sea mists and thundering cobalt waves breaking on the shore. The Flinders Range Island Retreat Nestled within the Flinders Ranges in South Australia and framed by the walls of Wilpena Pound and the Elder Range, Arkaba offers some of Australia’s most spectacular outback scenery. In trueWild Bush Luxury style, the Arkaba Homestead pays homage to its rich pastoral and exploration heritage in a manner that is both rustically chic and utterly exclusive. The homestead, set in 59,305 acres, dates back to 1851 retains its old world charm with pressed metal ceilings, cool flagstone floors beneath shady verandahs, small library, open fires for frosty winters and sisal-covered bedroom floors. Sleeps just 10 guests in five unique guestrooms.
