Self-drive touring.....

We recommend self-driving as the most affordable and convenient way to experience Kangaroo Island and it's many attractions. The majority of the Island's attractions are accessible in a conventional 2WD vehicle on sealed and unsealed roads, however if you are the type of person who likes to go off the beaten track, then a 4WD is recommended. We can arrange vehicle hire on the Island or vehicles can easily be transferred to the Island via the Sealink ferry.

Finding the Retreat is simple:
We are only 1.5 hours drive from the Sealink Ferry Terminal at Penneshaw or a 1 hour drive from the Airport at Kingscote, all roads to our establishment are sealed. Follow the signs to the Flinders Chase National Park and you will find our front entrance 700 meters before the entrance to the park. We recommend guests arrive on the Island early in the day and spend the morning and early afternoon exploring the Eastern end before arriving at the Retreat by sunset. Please take care if driving at night, an abundance of wildlife at the Western end of Kangaroo Island can be a road hazard.
