A dream come true, Kittawa Lodge is an Australian couple’s, highly personalized retreat that showcases a unique part of Tasmania’s pristine wilderness.
Known for its lush 12,000-year-old grassy sand dunes, crystal clear waters, pebbled beaches and secluded walking trails, King Island sits 120 kms (45 min flying) off Tasmania on Australia’s north west coast. Remote, clean and green, the 64 km long island is overflowing with uninterrupted views of the ocean, emerald green hills and nature reserves.
Here, amidst hidden caves and forested nooks on 96 acres of the island’s rugged coastline, Aaron Suine and Nick Stead took five years to create Kittawa Lodge—a stunning retreat for discerning travellers seeking to disconnect, romance, rejuvenate or relax.
Completely off-grid to minimize its impact on the environment, Kittawa on King is much more than a place to stay. With small bespoke, highly personalized touches and unparalleled privacy, Suine and Stead work to make each guest’s experience truly unique and memorable.
Wallaby watching
Post card views across the Southern Ocean meet privacy in one-bedroom lodges and the new two-bedroom Kittawa Retreat.
Couched in an intimate valley formed by the land’s rolling hills, the Retreat offers guests an oversized concrete bath, a wood burning fireplace and a cedar hot tub with rejuvenating jets and mood lighting
Tubs here are not only great for wildlife watching but they’re filled from continuously flowing natural spring water rich in magnesium and calcium -said to soothe the body, reduce inflammation and soreness and invigorate the senses.
Paddock to plate
Celebrating the islands produce and producers, the guest dining experience is full on local. Without a doubt, a trip to King Island Bakery and Dairy’s fromagerie for a tasting should be on your agenda.
King is also home to one of the world’s most recognizable beef brands, Southern Ocean Rock Lobsters, Black and Greenlip Abalone as well as Sea Elephant River Oysters. And, lest we forget, small goods products such as cured and smoked wallaby and sausages are yours to discover.
Glad you’re here mate
A visit here starts with a simple wave as you cross paths with unbelievably friendly, welcoming members of the King Island Community and ends with a commitment to return.
