After their successful debut in the Scenic Rim, QLD, Wander will unveil their second site of luxury, eco-aware accommodation on Kangaroo Island.
Four new ‘WanderPods’ arrived on Kangaroo Island on the SeaLink ferry this week and were lifted into place by crane on the property overlooking Snelling Beach from the ridge above Middle River.
On 1 December, Wander on Kangaroo Island will officially open to guests.
The Black Summer bushfires of 2019-20 were the worst in Kangaroo Island’s history, destroying almost half of its vegetation. Two human lives were lost along with many homes and businesses. The impact on the island’s wildlife was catastrophic, wiping out over 40,000 animals, including many from already threatened species. Now three years later, the region is bouncing back.
Wander is a desperately needed product in many regional areas of Australia that don’t have access to quality accommodation yet have the demand from a sustainable volume of high-yield visitors.
“The recent bushfires, travel bans and global trends towards sustainable travel have only highlighted the necessity to drive Australians to stay and travel in the region,” says Wander CEO Cassandra Sasso.
Wander’s operations are deeply connected to the local ecosystem with up to 30% of their revenue directly benefiting local communities. Wander is proud to be a Kangaroo Island Guardian and is developing new native sanctuaries for wildlife to thrive and enjoy.
The four WanderPods on Kangaroo Island overlook the Great Australian Bight and are named after constellations only seen in the southern skies. Wander on Kangaroo Island gives you luxury, design-led eco-accommodation for those seeking sustainable travel experiences and a new discovery of regional Australia.
Wander guests can access extraordinary experiences on Kangaroo Island that have been curated and developed by locals, including spending the day as a citizen scientist, private wine masterclasses, delicious local cuisine by Gastronomo Dining, or bespoke walking tours of the region.
Bookings for Wander on Kangaroo Island are filling up quickly from 1 December 2022 so get in fast.
