Experience Australia's answer to an African safari lodge. With 250 acres of spectacular private coastal bushland, a stunning secluded beach, ocean views from all boutique accommodations and incredible Australian wildlife, Sea Dragon Kangaroo Island is unrivaled in rugged beauty and tranquility.
As an incredibly unique and boutique accommodation on Kangaroo Island, Sea Dragon is perfect for anyone looking for luxurious nature-based immersion in a spectacular coastal setting. While seclusion is one of our most endearing attributes, we are only 25 minutes from Penneshaw ferry and 50 minutes from Kingscote Airport. At Sea Dragon, they welcome families with children aged 12 and above, couples and solo travelers.
No matter where you rest your head at Sea Dragon, each accommodation has stunning ocean views over Pink Bay and an outdoor deck to enjoy the surroundings. Styling varies between each accommodation, with each encapsulating the essence of either land or sea.
Deluxe Ocean View Rooms
(approx 30 sq.meters) Five beautifully appointed ensuite rooms with outdoor decks nestled amongst the trees where wildlife sightings are plentiful. Rooms can sleep two guests in twin or king configuration. Proximity to the guest restaurant / reception varies between 100 – 265 metres via outdoor paths, which due to the natural surroundings, can be uneven in places.
Premium Ocean View Rooms
(approx 35 sq.meters) Featuring the same features as the Deluxe category but offering more space, these rooms are ideal for guests seeking twin singles, though King is also available. Two rooms have accessible bathrooms. Wildlife sightings are frequent. Proximity to the guest restaurant / reception varies between 100 – 265 meters via outdoor paths which due to the natural surroundings, can be uneven in places.
Superior Ocean View Suites
(45-50 sq.meters) Slightly bigger than Premium Rooms, these Superior Ocean View Suites feature a larger lounge area to indulge in the views. We have four Superior Suites affording breathtaking views positioned with easy access to our guest restaurant. Suites can sleep two adults and two children (12-17 years) or three adults utilizing the king / twin beds and convertible lounge bed. Both the main bed(s) and lounge bed are within the same space and are not located in separate rooms.
Luxury Ocean View Villa with Outdoor Bath
(85-90 sq.meters) The largest and most private accommodation. An expansive lounge area leads to a large deck with a beautiful outdoor bath to soak in and listen to the sounds of the sea and land. Our villa can sleep two adults in the separate bedroom (king or twin) while two children (12-17 years) or one adult can retire to the lounge room wall bed. While the villa is our most private accommodation and in closest proximity to the beach, it is accessed via a short outdoor path which is steep in places. Vehicle transfers to and from the villa can be arranged on request but good mobility is recommended.
The activities allow guests to experience the natural wonders and history of the Dudley Peninsula right on Sea Dragon’s doorstep, meet iconic locals, and sample some of Kangaroo Island’s world class produce – all enabling time to intertwine everything from relaxation to exploration during a Sea Dragon stay.
Full Day Nature Tour
Spend the day on this small group tour with your professional guide exploring the diverse natural attractions and wildlife of Kangaroo Island, one of Australia’s premium nature-based destinations. Enjoy short walks, lunch and close-up wildlife encounters while learning about the history and nature of this amazing island.
Departing from Sea Dragon after breakfast, our day of adventure begins traveling west across the island towards the first stop, Flinders Chase National Park.
Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife on the roadsides as you drive through a variety of vegetative areas, viewing the rejuvenation of native bush flora from the devastating bushfires of 2019/2020. The morning will be spent at known attractions in the park, namely Admirals Arch, where you will spot the Long-nosed fur seals relaxing or playing in rock pools as well as great views of the wild Southern Ocean. See if you can spot any whales during the winter months!
After you manage to leave the magnificence of Admiral’s Arch, Remarkable Rocks will give you views of the rugged coastline in this diverse national park. The amazing rock formations and distinctive red rocks are a photographer’s delight.
Learn about the early maritime history of this wild environment, all the while, spotting other native animal species including echidnas, kangaroos, and a range of birds and reptiles. Did you know that Kangaroo Island has its own kangaroo? A sub-species of the Western Grey Kangaroo, the Kangaroo Island kangaroo is darker brown in colour, shorter and stockier, with the thickest fur of all kangaroos.
Keep your eyes peeled for Rosenberg Goannas lazing in the sun as we return to the vehicle and head towards Seal Bay Conservation Park, stopping for either a picnic-style lunch in our own private sheep shearing shed or at Vivonne Bay General Store – their famous whiting burger is absolutely a must try with gluten-free and vegetarian options available. After this tasty interlude, you will continue towards Seal Bay.
Seal Bay Conservation Park is home of the endangered Australian sea lion. There are only an estimated 9,000 sea lions left and Seal Bay is the second largest colony of this species. Walk through the untouched sand dune system and along the pristine beach with your experienced guide or knowledgeable Park Ranger for approximately an hour, learning all about these beautiful mammals.
On the return to your accommodation, arriving at approximately 5.30pm, you will have time to freshen up before dinner in our restaurant with fabulous views over Pink Bay and the Backstairs Passage. Tammar wallabies may be out and about on the way back to your accommodation.
Please note that the order of activities may vary depending on group size and seasonality. An itinerary with the order of tours and inclusions during your stay will be provided to you upon check-in at Sea Dragon.
