The beach your staying on is so secluded that you could probably walk down it naked down if you wanted (we're not advocating this but hey, you do you).
There's a bloody nice deck to sit out and enjoy a cold one, while watching the sun set over an extraordinary stretch of Aussie coast.
There'll be roos jumping around and probably other wildlife too.
The lodge itself is a timeless bit of Australian architecture, fully contained and considerately designed for a self-catered stay.
Kangaroo Island was razed during the 2019/20 bushfires, but it is bouncing back in a big way. Green sprouts from blackened Eucalyptus trees on the island show this.
