Our fifth Xperience Giveaway continues the theme of Luxury Retreats but this time we’re sending the lucky winner and their guest south to the Australian Galapagos… more commonly known as Kangaroo Island.
Thanks to our partners at Flight Centre, we have arranged for you to start your journey with Business Class flights from your nearest capital city to Kangaroo Island.
Once you have landed, the wonderful family owned business at Budget Car Rental Kangaroo Island is providing a vehicle for 4 days, so that you can not only complete the journey to Ecopia Retreat but have the freedom to explore the many hidden treasures and experiences across the island.
Your accommodation for this Xperience, is a luxuriously appointed off-grid villa at Ecopia Retreat. Constructed of 300mm thick rammed earth walls that harness the warmth in winter and coolness in summer and includes expansive full height double glazed windows that bring the outside in. And with such spectacular views in every direction, this is a true fusion of luxury and nature.
Located within a registered wildlife sanctuary on 150 acres of natural wilderness, you’re literally miles away from the hustle and bustle of civilization. The perfect place to slow down and reconnect with nature and that special someone in your life.
Step outside on the deck to meet the neighbours (kangaroos, koalas & echidnas) or perhaps go for a wander with exclusive access to the Eleanor River.
The choice is yours.
During your stay on Kangaroo Island, we want you to get truly immersed in everything that is Kangaroo Island. So we have incorporated some exciting Xperiences that showcase some of the island’s more decadent offerings.
With over 20 years experience in the industry and located in a charming heritage guesthouse built in 1927, The team at The Odd Plate will showcase the best of the Island’s artisan produce and products with a seasonal menu to entice your palate.
With such a luxurious location for your accommodation, it would be a shame to spend all of your time out and about exploring the island. So we have arranged for an in-house chef to come to you with a menu based on your preferences and paired with some Wine Tasting from Islander Estate.
You’ll be able to sample their elegant cool climate, locally crafted wines and perhaps settle on a nice red to finish off by the fire.
Enjoy a masterclass in gin blending, designed by the distillers at Australia’s first boutique gin distillery. Here the experienced team at Kangaroo Island Spirits will take you on a journey that explores the history of gin and the extensive range of traditional and native botanical distillates that you can choose from to create your very own bottle of gin to take home to enjoy.
Gastronomo Dining has been inspired by our Australian Landscapes to bring the magic of outdoor dining to you. Their latest dining Xperience is centred around a 120 year old Fig Tree with gnarled limbs and shimmering leaves that open up into a collection of natural dining rooms.
With a special menu that includes a hint of local history, a splash of fairy tale and a sprinkle of the unexpected… this is one culinary Xperience that caters to all of your senses.
Finally, because we know that Kangaroo Island’s best Xperiences extend beyond those you can do on land. We will have you meet up with the team at Kangaroo Island Marine Adventures for an amazing half day Island Explorer Tour.
On this tour you’ll enjoy a marine wildlife Xperience along the stunning North Coast of Kangaroo Island where you’ll see Seals, Sea Eagles and Osprey.
Of special mention though…. is the chance you’ll have to swim with wild bottlenose dolphins. In shallow and protected waters, the experienced team makes sure you have plenty of time to relax and marvel at these amazing animals at a pace that is comfortable for you.
