Tanonga Luxury Eco Lodges

“A Winter nature escape! Pack the wine and cheeses and Pt Lincoln fresh seafood”

Super comfortable and beautiful setting. Very private and idyllic setting in the bush (we stayed in the Valley Retreat). Loved the fire as it was winter but the so cozy inside. We travel a lot and the bed here has to be one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in! The retreats are 15 minutes… lisää

Super comfortable and beautiful setting. Very private and idyllic setting in the bush (we stayed in the Valley Retreat). Loved the fire as it was winter but the so cozy inside. We travel a lot and the bed here has to be one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in! The retreats are 15 minutes or so from Pt Lincoln, 10 mins from the airport - but they are true bush eco lodges with all the comforts you need. Pack the provisions and wine and sit back in comfort and enjoy the serenity of the bush.

“Serene and quiet”

Lovely eco lodge on a ridge with 360 degree stunning views. All amenities you’d expect plus complete isolation, yet only 20 mins from PL shops, Peter Teakle Winery and Boston Bay Elaine’s, and about 30 mins Coffin Bay where we did an oyster farm experience (all 3 of these highly recommended).

Lovely eco lodge on a ridge with 360 degree stunning views. All amenities you’d expect plus complete isolation, yet only 20 mins from PL shops, Peter Teakle Winery and Boston Bay Elaine’s, and about 30 mins Coffin Bay where we did an oyster farm experience (all 3 of these highly recommended). The lodge is comfortable and spacious, very comfortable bed, good shower and deep bath (did fit 2 of us). Washing machine, dishwasher, tvs and sockets for charging, most of which e didn’t use as this place is for relaxing. The full cooker and oven was good, bbq as well. Grilling toast under a grill is not hard (?!), and the kettle works fine on a gas hob! The table and chairs outside aren’t comfortable but we sat at the cafe windows with them open which was as good, it was too windy to lounge outside. Short walks around the property are nice and the sunrises spectacular. We saw many birds but no kangaroos. Roads are rough but 2WD is ok. Overall very good if you want quiet but access to a town. Luxury is subjective thing, I’d say if you want peace this is luxurious and that’s what you’re paying for.

“A pity about the squeezy bath”

The eco lodge is still a very nice spot, but time has probably moved on a little and the accolades once awarded have perhaps ‘faded’ a little now so aren’t as relevant to what is currently considered a ‘luxury’ offering in the true sense. The $500 price ticket is probably about right but other than… lisää

The eco lodge is still a very nice spot, but time has probably moved on a little and the accolades once awarded have perhaps ‘faded’ a little now so aren’t as relevant to what is currently considered a ‘luxury’ offering in the true sense. The $500 price ticket is probably about right but other than the view there aren’t standout aspects that make you feel it’s a ‘cut above’. If you want seclusion it’s absolutely perfect and it’s very warm and cosy whilst still spacious. But for what is essentially a ‘house’ it was a bit weird having no table and chairs. There were red wine glasses but only a single white wine glass! The confirmation says a bottle of wine is included. There wasn’t any. We’d never rely on that anyway and did bring our own, but if you had expected it to be there you’d be annoyed at being far out of town for your getaway or celebration without what was confirmed as an inclusion. There are no power points for phone chargers near your bed. There are no steak knives. Yet there is a lovely brand new bbq. That was great! The compendium of information is quite out of date. Having the loo IN the bathroom is a pain - can’t really understand that design when it’s such a large bathroom space. The concept behind a deep Japanese bath is fabulous but the reality is that it is NOT for two people as stated - it’s not comfortable for two and we are not two large people!!

“Nice Accommodation But Not Quite Luxury”

If you like peace and quiet (as we do) then Tanonga is in a great spot.

If you like peace and quiet (as we do) then Tanonga is in a great spot. We stayed in the Valley Lodge, which has some really nice features: the bed was very comfortable with lovely views to the bush outside and the bathroom was large and modern with a fantastic shower. The log fire in the loungeroom was much appreciated as we found the Port Lincoln area cooler than we were expecting. There were a few areas, however, where we felt the lodge fell a little short of the "luxury" tag. The TVs are tiny, although it is good that there is one in the bedroom. There is no toaster, so toast can only be made the same way you make it when you're camping. The outdoor furniture is pretty flimsy and not comfortable. There is no Wi-Fi provided and phone reception could only be had by walking about 30m up the hill. Tea and coffee was provided but only 200 mL of milk for our four day stay. None of this would be a problem if the property wasn't so expensive, but for the money you expect better. Overall, we would recommend Tanonga and we enjoyed our stay - just don't expect real luxury.
