How to get there

Flights, ferry and transfers

Kingscote Airport is a 40 minute flight from Adelaide. New team members arriving into Kingscote Airport are transferred to the lodge where a manager will settle them into their accommodation.

QantasLink operates return flights between Adelaide and KI. This service can fluctuate depending on the day, so it is always good to double check. A baggage limit of 23kg applies to QantasLink flights.

SeaLink operates regular 45 minute car and passenger ferry transfers between Cape Jervis on the mainland and Penneshaw on KI. Cape Jervis is an easy two-hour drive from Adelaide. Penneshaw is a 90 minute drive from Southern Ocean Lodge. There is a ring road around the island which is bitumen, while the cross roads on the island are mostly dirt and gravel. All roads on the island are maintained to be suitable for all vehicle types. It is also important to be aware that Kangaroo Island wildlife is prevalent and particularly active at dusk and dawn; great caution should be taken if driving at these times. We recommend employees bring their own vehicle to enjoy exploring KI on days off. Car parking for employee vehicles is provided in the employee car park.

Southern Ocean Lodge is located on Hanson Bay Road at Hanson Bay. Travel west along the South Coast Road for approximately 60 minutes from Kingscote. Cross the South West River and 50 metres onwards is the Hanson Bay Road turn off on the left. If you pass the Western KI Caravan Park you have gone too far.
