Ecopia Retreat is a certified 5-star boutique eco-luxury escape set within a private 150-acre wildlife sanctuary in the heart of Kangaroo Island. Immersed in natural wilderness, Ecopia offers a fully catered experience with luxurious, chef-prepared food and flexible dining options, all tailored to guests’ needs and wishes. This curated off-grid retreat blends refined comfort with authentic eco-tourism, inviting guests to slow down, reconnect and experience the landscape at a deeper level.
Positioned centrally for effortless exploration of the Island, Ecopia Retreat feels immediately remote and peaceful. It offers a sense of arrival into a private world shaped by wildlife, open skies and regenerated bushland.
Owners Rob and Yael have dedicated nearly two decades to careful conservation and land restoration, resulting in a thriving sanctuary that hosts abundant native species. Their commitment ensures guests can enjoy the indulgence of luxury accommodation while making a positive contribution to the environment and local ecology.
The Retreats
Ecopia Retreat comprises four bespoke accommodation options, each thoughtfully placed to maximise serenity and immersion in the landscape:
- Two Eco Villas, architecturally designed, solar-passive villas in secluded locations.
- The Residence, a spacious, three-bedroom luxury home suited to families or small groups.
- The Rise, a two-bedroom loft-style retreat, nestled into a mallee trees koala habitat. Please note: Both bedrooms are only accessible via a steep and narrow spiral staircase, that may be challenging for guests with mobility restrictions, or older guests.
With a total capacity of 14 guests (or 10, without utilising The Rise), the combined inventory is now perfectly positioned as an exclusive-use option for multi-generational families or small groups.
Elegant interiors, expansive views and wildlife encounters at your doorstep combine to create a relaxed, refined and deeply nature-focused stay.
Catering Options
Culinary experiences are a highlight at Ecopia, with three flexible options showcasing premium Kangaroo Island produce:
- Curated produce hampers, offering simple, fresh ingredients for self-prepared meals.
- Chef-prepared meals, restaurant-quality dishes ready to heat and serve in your retreat.
- Exclusive chef-hosted fine-dining experiences, for guests seeking a fully catered indulgence.
Guests may mix and match these options to create the ideal balance of convenience, luxury and privacy.
We can tailor a seamless stay, including arrival and departure transfers, curated wildlife and landscape experiences, and personalised private touring that complements the restorative atmosphere of Ecopia Retreat.
