Discover Kingscote: the perfect base to explore Kangaroo Island

The largest town on Kangaroo Island, Kingscote sits on Nepean Bay and is home to the island’s airport, making it a popular base for tourists. Hungry? There’s lots of great places to placate your appetite in Kingscote. For the ultimate brunch, head to Cactus where fresh, seasonal and local produce is on the menu, sit down for an authentic Italian feast paired with a local drop at Amadio Wines or sample pure Ligurian honey from the world’s oldest bee sanctuary at The Kangaroo Island Ligurian Bee Co. Wash it all down with a local brew from Kangaroo Island Brewery or venture a little further to Kangaroo Island Spirits for a G&T featuring one of the world’s best gins (it’s official). If you’re idea of an island escape is lounging on long stretches of white sand before plunging into sparkling waters, drive 15 minutes down the road and right onto Emu Bay and plonk yourself straight on the sand.
