Island Alive Nature Retreat

Nestled in a tranquil pine forest beside Pelican Lagoon—just 15 minutes from the Penneshaw ferry on Kangaroo Island—our sanctuary is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and reconnect through nature-based wellness experiences. Lovingly built over a decade by our family using recycled materials and with minimal impact on the surrounding ecosystem, their rustic accommodation is warm, welcoming, and full of character. Every corner reflects the care, creativity, and intention behind a space designed to feel like a homecoming to self, and the natural world.

The cosy forest cabins are nestled among a cedar wood steam sauna, wood-fired hot tub, hammocks, and tranquil spaces designed for deep rest and privacy—inviting you to truly disconnect from the hectic pace of life. Native wildlife adds to the magic, with kangaroos often spotted at your doorstep and birds splashing in the birdbath just outside the kitchen window.

Enjoy a restful overnight stay in their cosy Queen bedroom with private ensuite, designed for couples seeking peace and connection. Your experience includes exclusive access to our cedar steam sauna, wood-fired hot tub, and a cold plunge bath beneath the tree canopy. For a deeper reset, enhance your stay with relaxation massage, guided forest bathing, or breathwork sessions—creating a truly revitalising and rejuvenating escape.
