Kangaroo Island
CABN’s off grid accommodation on Kangaroo Island is a gateway to a world of natural beauty, offering a respite from the intensity of life. Just a short 25 minute drive from the Penneshaw Ferry, CABN Kangaroo Island is nestled on 400 acres of private land, explore the historic lighthouse, or take the walking trails down to your own private beach.
You’ll wake up to the sounds of native birds, kangaroos and the crashing of waves as they hit the shoreline with stunning ocean views from all CABNs, overlooking the pristine landscapes. When you book a stay at CABN, you’re embarking on a journey of disconnection, eco-consciousness, and a deep connection to Kangaroo Island’s untamed beauty, all from your off-grid remote accommodation.

Watch the resident kangaroos come out at dusk, basking in the golden light. Get lost in a book cosied up by the wood fire or practise the art of simply reconnecting with yourself.
