A week of love, adventure, and a little RnR at ‘Perentie Pines’, Kangaroo Island, South Australia
Pelican Lagoon is a saltwater lagoon located on the South Coast of the Dudley Peninsula on Kangaroo Island, South Australia about 15 minutes from where the ferry arrives at Penneshaw.
‘Perentie Piines’ Through my eyes, heart, mind & soul.
This place definitely has the wow factor if you love nature as much as I do. From the moment you drive through the gates into the pines, you feel a sense of calm wash over you.
‘Perentie Pines’ is a beautiful space put together with so much love, thought, and creativity. It has everything you need to have a great stay.
It’s a great place to switch off from the outside world and tune into the heartbeat of mother nature. Put the phones away and just be.
There are three cabins, two for bedrooms and the third a cozy living area with a fireplace and a quirky bathroom.
There’s a great outdoor space with couches, table and chairs and hammocks amongst the trees.
The surroundings are divine and there is an abundance of wildlife frequently visiting all day long. From the moment you get up to make breakfast you will see the wildlife that come to drink from the bird bath in front of the kitchen window. It’s positioned perfectly so matter what time of the day you look outside to the bird bath you will see it’s a well used water hole.
The weather was quite lovely during the day for our stay in October and at night when it cooled down we lit the fire and enjoyed the cozy warm air until we went to bed.

To sum up our stay at ‘Perentie Pines’ Pelican Lagoon, Kangaroo Island. South Australia
This was a truly memorable experience and special way to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary.
It was the perfect place to get away and celebrate us. We felt at home here and totally comfortable in these surroundings. My husband and I love being outdoors.
I personally found it a great reset. A great place to relax and unwind and the best reset for my nervous system. The reset I didn’t really know how much I needed until I was there.
I spend time in nature every day at home, but to spend this much time every day immersed in nature with nowhere to be and nothing to do is a different kind of calm to receive. It was a full body, heart, mind, and soul reset. To be honest I miss the simplicity already. A reminder to keep a check on this. Lifestyle is everything!
I loved that we could come back here after a day of exploring and have it all to ourselves. It was a magical experience and I’d so love to see it in wintertime. So I guess that means at some point we will be back.
Amy and Dan, you have created a beautiful sanctuary for people to step out of their busy lives, slow down, tune in, and just chill out. This place is a blessing and I’m grateful to have spent some time here. Thank you. x
I hope you enjoyed this beautiful place through my eyes. I have so much more to share about our stay on Kangaroo Island, But I had to share this magical place first because it truly was a very special part of our stay.
Stay tuned for all the adventures. We got out and about every day and had a great look around the island. We checked out some of the popular tourist destinations, ate some delicious food, tried their wine, gin, honey, and coffee, and spent a lot of our time exploring the coastline.
