SEASCAPE AT EMU BAY

Great ocean views and hospitality on Kangaroo Island

SUPERLATIVE OCEAN VIEWS make this clifftop B&B sitting squarely above Emu Bay on Kangaroo Island a winner. Watching the surf roll into a sweeping arc of white-sand beach from the terrace, glass of vino in hand, takes some beating after a day in the great outdoors.

Inside Seascape at Emu Bay, your nothing’s-too-much-trouble hosts have created a relaxed and comfortable oasis. The three smartly done-out suites, whose neutral shades and fuss-free decor focus attention on the ever-changing seascape outside, have terrific ocean views and wide verandahs, with large sofas, kingsize beds and DVD players.

The book-lined lounge, with its wood fire and board games, is just the place to gen up on the island’s wildlife after dinner. Eating in is a must, and the cooking – majoring on fresh seafood, home-baked bread and local produce – ranks with the island’s best. Take one of the private 4WD tours of this fascinating island, just a 30-minute hop from Adelaide.

Wildlife habitats

Seals and penguins abound, and you’ll venture off the beaten track to find Kangaroo Island's great wildlife habitats, secluded coves and spectacular rock formations. Dine at Seascape on free-range lamb and chicken, or locally caught King George whiting at night, and a gourmet picnic as your tour the island by day.

Dining in
You'll be made to feel like old friends at Seascape, and the dining reflects this. Delicious home cooking uses the freshest seasonal island produce, washed down with fine regional wines. Look out for Kangaroo Island sheep's milk yoghurt and organic free-range eggs in the morning, and order a picnic lunch for your day out.

Dining out
You have a choice of great eateries 15 minutes away, but for great seafood head into Kingscote and check out the cafe and gourmet deli Ferguson Australia for the freshest lobster and king crabs.

See & Do

Take a private 4WD tour around this ecotourism haven to take in the island's rugged coastal scenery and amazing native wildlife. Sign up for a nocturnal penguin tour or check out the spectacular Kelly Hill caves. Visit the Lathami conservation park where you’ll spot such iconic Aussie species as koalas, kangaroos and cockatoos. Go on a diving safari or see the amazing sealion colonies at Seal Bay. Sit on the deck and watch ibis feeding in the paddock and sea eagles soaring overhead. Or of course simply walk around the huge arc of Emu Bay and get your feet in the sand.

Shop
Kangaroo Island is a place for nature lovers rather than label lovers. However it's worth buying some of the local emu, tea tree and eucalyptus oils to take home.

After dark
Savour the wonderful sunsets from your terrace and count the stars.

Dates
February
Enjoy a day at the races: it's time for the Kangaroo Island Coopers Cup, the island's premier race meeting.

November
Racing of a different kind at the Kangaroo Island Speed Shear competition. Lots of laughter and a good time for all – even the sheep seem to enjoy it.
