Kittawa Lodge - Hotel Review
"In a country known for its remote corners, the seclusion of Kittawa Lodge manages to stand out. Set in 100 acres of coastal countryside poking into the Southern Ocean, with mobs of wallabies on your doorstep, these are cosy cabins with smart hotel-like amenities, making this luxury lodge one of Australia’s finest."

King Island: a guide to island hopping in Tasmania
"Kittawa Lodge is perched on 96 acres of untouched landscape, where the Roaring Forties winds sweep in the world's freshest air. It's impossible not to breathe deeply on our sunset tour. The red-necked wallabies raise curious heads, as if well-manicured staff hired to welcome guests. Fully off-grid, Kittawa is a blend of intimate nature and attentive hospitality – akin to the acclaimed luxury lodge Saffire Freycinet."

Unique coastal stays in Australia
"Run by sea-changers Aaron Suine and Nick Stead, Kittawa Lodge is a destination in itself. Its pair of off-grid, one-bedroom lodges are architecturally designed and sit ocean-facing on a secluded 40-hectare property. With itineraries tailored for you daily according to your interests – and mood that morning – it lets you key straight into the choose-your-own- adventure essence of King Island and will have you feeling like a local in no time."
