Our landscape

Our beautiful, rugged property is nature at its finest and is largely untouched, which does mean that there are undulating and uneven surfaces around the accommodations, as well as some of Australia’s best wildlife! Please always wear appropriate, stable footwear when walking outside. Also please be sure to walk slowly and not run so as not to spook the wildlife. Also note that Pink Bay, the beach accessed from Sea Dragon, is unpatrolled and swimming is at your own risk.

Accessibility information

Sea Dragon is a semi-remote and rugged property with 150 acres of nature conservancy with limited access for walking. The main property area of 100 acres has very steep access to the beach with our accommodations dotted around the property. As part of our extensive renovation project, we will have select wheelchair-friendly accommodation as well as wheelchair access to the main dining room and reception by the end of Summer 2024.

The beach can be accessed via 4WD (Sea Dragon onsite vehicles only) and by steep walking trail. We offer accessible private tours to destinations on the island that are set up for wheelchair access.

Wildlife encounters

While most of our wildlife is timid and will keep its distance, some of our resident kangaroos and wallabies may get a little inquisitive from time-to-time and the mature males or new mothers can grow rather big! Please practice your best social distancing (remember that?) and stay at least five to 10 metres away. Under no circumstances may you feed the animals as we want to keep our wildlife wild. Should you encounter a reptile during your stay (goanna, snake, large lizard) please stay well away and alert management of its location.

Children

For the reasons listed above, children younger than 12 are not permitted.

Electricity

We are in the process of moving to a completely off-grid energy set-up (we’re about 85% there) to contribute to conserving our planet. So during times when we have to rely on the mains power supply on the island (which is temperamental itself) we may experience a short outage while our batteries kick in to back it up. #islandlife. Please consult us before booking should you have any sleeping devices or similar which require uninterrupted electricity.

Weather

Being a large island the weather can change quickly and with our property being beautifully coastal, it’s always good to bring a variation of clothing. Layers are best.

Mobile phone / cell coverage

Due to the semi-remote location of our 250-acre property, phone coverage is sporadic. Telstra is the best performing but not always consistent. The free wifi in our accommodation can facilitate calls made via WhatsApp/Facetime etc. When out on tour around the island, you will have times where there is no coverage at all. Enjoy it!
