FERRY & AIRLINE LINKS:
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.

Touring the Island:
The Retreat is in an ideal location for self-drive touring due to
it's close proximity to natural attractions, wildlife and bushwalking
trails. After your arrival we can offer a suggested itinerary for
self-drive touring depending on the length of your stay and the type
of attractions and activities you would like.
HIRE CAR LINKS:
Notes on hire cars:
Hire cars must be booked in advance to gaurantee availability. Some
hire car companies (ie. AVIS) do not allow vehicles on Kangaroo Island.
It is worth asking your hire car company about the coverage provided
on Kangaroo Island before booking with them.
Coach or 4WD touring.....
Those not wanting to self-drive have
the option of joining one of the organised coach tours run by Sealink,
a 4WD tour operated by APT or a adventure tour operated by Connections.
