If you’re looking for another reason to book a luxury beachfront stay on Kangaroo Island, here it is: by Easter 2026, the island will welcome The Cliffs Kangaroo Island, a world-class 18-hole golf course located just 45 minutes from Dune House at Emu Bay.

Designed by acclaimed Australian golf architect Darius Oliver — the visionary behind Cape Wickham Links — The Cliffs promises a championship golf experience on one of Australia’s most dramatic coastlines. Set on 600 acres near American River, the course will feature seven holes along towering 500-million-year-old cliffs, offering panoramic views over the Southern Ocean and a truly unforgettable round.

For guests at Dune House, it’s the perfect blend: unwind in secluded Kangaroo Island accommodation just steps from Emu Bay Beach, then tee off at a world-class course just a short drive away. Whether you’re here for a romantic couple’s retreat or a boutique family holiday, this addition adds yet another layer to Kangaroo Island’s appeal.

Led by the Seafront Group’s Sam Atkins, the golf course has been more than a decade in the making. Development was shaped by a strong commitment to sustainability, including the use of in-situ materials, planting 2,500+ native species, and employing drone technology to ensure safe, low-impact construction along the 3km cliff face.

With its mix of natural beauty, luxury accommodation, and now premium golfing, Kangaroo Island is cementing its status as one of Australia’s most unique destinations — and Dune House places you right in the heart of it all.
