Southern Ocean Lodge
KANGAROO ISLAND

Treading lightly on scrub-covered dunes above the sea, luxe Kangaroo Island boutique hotel Southern Ocean Lodge is an exquisite designer haven. Solitude, serenity and privacy are what guests are paying for – staying here you get the feeling there’s no-one else within miles (and there probably isn’t). Calming, contemporary interiors embrace the outdoors, with all-inclusive food, drinks and activities adding to a restful stay. Outside Australia's Galapagos awaits, from kangaroos and seals to wild beaches and spectacular coastal rocks.AT THE HOTEL

Destination spa, wine cellar, library lounge with board games and DVDs, mountain bikes. In rooms: free WiFi, sound system with MP3 input, minibar, Li’Tya toiletries and outdoor terrace with day-bed. Selected suites have flatscreen TVs, DVD players and EcoSmart fires.

Practically everything is included, from transfers and sailing tuition to Champagne and a massage in the small spa, by way of up to four good à la carte meals a day made as far as possible from local produce (lobster with the giant citrus fruit they call shaddock; jerk shrimp with mango; cashew fruit with rocket). Nelson may have called his posting to Antigua 'infernal', but a week at Hermitage Bay feels pretty close to heaven.i has good room service and facilities

If its rates seem steep, it also has a three-star sister resort, Cocos  which represents such good value that most guests keep it a secret. On the west of the island, it has superb views of coast around Lignumvitae Bay and an idyllic beach. The rooms, all with balconies, are plainly furnished (no televisions or air con), and the bathrooms verge on austere. But the setting is perfect, and meals, drinks (including cocktails and wine), snorkelling and kayaks, are included
