Baillie Lodges has confirmed the highly-anticipated reopening of Southern Ocean Lodge on 6 December 2023. The all-new ultra-luxury resort will debut just inside four years since it was leveled by bushfires in January 2020.

The rebuild of Baillie Lodges’ Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island, South Australia commenced on Friday [18 February 2022], with an official sod-turning ceremony. The original flagship property of the Baillie Lodges’ stable was destroyed by bushfires in January 2020.

A soil turning ceremony next week at the site of the former Southern Ocean Lodge will signify the official start of rebuilding the next iteration of one of Australia’s most acclaimed resorts.
