A visit to Wander on Kangaroo Island opens up a world of possibilities for personal growth and self-reflection. Whether you embark through secluded trails or open beaches, immerse yourself in a vibrant epicurean scene, or indulge in moments of quiet contemplation, the island becomes a sanctuary for introspection and rejuvenation. We invite you to find solace in the raw beauty of the island and consider one of the following activities as a jumping-off point into new perspectives.

Stroll along secluded beaches

Winter unveils a quieter side of Kangaroo Island’s pristine beaches, beckoning you to traverse secluded stretches of shoreline while feeling the soft sand beneath your feet and meditating to the rhythmic symphony of crashing waves. Sink into solace and a profound connection with the untamed beauty of the rugged coastlines while inspiring a sense of wonder and appreciation at the extraordinary forces of nature.

Savour local flavours

Connect with the island’s rich flavours and the artisans who bring them to life through culinary exploration. Delight your taste buds with exquisite cool-climate wines and handcrafted spirits from local distilleries. Complement your drink with mouthwatering dishes created by perfectly pairing seasonal ingredients with artistic flair at Gastronomo, a local favourite. We’re proud to work directly with Gastronomo to produce our Tastes of the Island pantry box, a great way to explore the best ingredients of the island from the comfort of your WanderPod® kitchen.

Enjoy intimate wildlife encounters

Kangaroo Island is renowned for its abundant wildlife, and winter provides a unique showcase of the beauty of new beginnings. This is the season when you’re most likely to delight in the playful antics of young joeys courageously taking their first steps away from their mother’s pouches and into the world. You may also spot Southern Right Whales breaching off the shoreline or fur seal colonies and sea lions basking on sunlit rocks. Everywhere you look, the incredible biodiversity sustained by the land reminds us of our interconnectedness and evokes a profound appreciation for the majesty of the animal kingdom.

Embrace the stillness

The remote setting of Kangaroo Island offers a coveted respite from the distractions of daily life for those seeking peace and seclusion. Breathe deeply in serene landscapes untouched by crowds of people where the only sound is the whisper of the wind through the trees. Embrace the freedom to disconnect from the demands of the outside world, allowing yourself to fully unwind and recharge in the serenity of a pristine island sanctuary. Here, you can nurture a sense of inner peace while reconnecting with the simplicity and stillness that nature graciously bestows.

We invite you to experience a transformative stay at Wander on Kangaroo Island, an eco-luxe retreat perched atop a bluff overlooking the Great Australian Bight. This sustainable sanctuary offers a haven for travellers seeking both comfort and connection with nature. Unwind in a beautiful WanderPod®, intentionally designed accommodation that seamlessly blends with the surrounding environment, allowing you to immerse yourself in an extraordinary winter of reflection, connection, and awe-inspiring natural beauty.
