If you dream of being ensconced in luxury and nature simultaneously, you will love Sea Dragon. It's perfectly situated on the eastern tip of Kangaroo Island, with breathtaking views of Pink Bay from the teak deck of your perfectly appointed room and majestic views of Cape Willoughby Lighthouse when you walk out the front door. My wife and 18-year-old son discovered it to be the perfect home base for excursions to wineries, nature reserves, snorkeling spots, sea lion beaches, and the most beautiful and rugged coastlines you can imagine. (See photos) If you're headed to Kangaroo Island, you're already part of a select group of Australia aficionados who want to enjoy its stunning wildlife, scenery, wine, and food, but far away from brash crowds. You could stay anywhere on KI and be off the beaten path, but Sea Dragon is the only resort that offers exquisite seclusion with every imaginable amenity. And not to worry: On an island that's only 100km by 50km, every excursion is only a short drive away. You could also spend your entire time on the property and leave completely fulfilled. We especially appreciated co-owner Karin's personal touches during our stay. She and her team were able to make last-minute adjustments to our itinerary, supply in-house guides to every destination, and exude a warmth that transforms a vacation into an experience. The best part of our stay, besides the gourmet dinners, were our walks on the enormous acreage of the resort itself. We saw heaps of kangaroos (of course), echidnas, and dozens of bird species. Being on Cape Willoughby also meant the stunning sunrises and sunsets both happen over the ocean. Unforgettable.
