Time being our most precious commodity, and increasingly harder to find, Lifetime Private Retreats offers breathing space in one of three beautiful villas on Kangaroo Island. Here, where wildlife remains vastly uncorrupted, guests prefer the opulence of conversation, food and resting their eyes on the stunning views to television, with the luxury to choose.
The owners are travelers themselves and have created LifeTime to balance the subtle desires that we all long for while away from home. The houses have been designed over three generations of architects and entrepreneurs to make all who dwell, feel at ease within their walls. All enjoy enchanting coastal views; each completely separated from the other visually and aurally; you’ll never feel like you are just another resort guest. For this reason children are also welcome.
Specializing in discreet dining adventures, Chef and owner Rachel Hannaford has cooked for everyone from the Dalai Lama to Mick Jagger, and with her brother Nick, has instigated a visionary concept of discovering the secret desires of guests, beyond any standard dull questionnaire.
Moveable feasts are a new frontier of the gastronomic kind which means there are no restaurants. Celebrate dining as nature's guests under a 150 year old fig tree, by the lapping of the sea at the beach taverna, on a secluded cliff-top picnic spot or by candlelight in the old shearer's shed.
Nature's drama is played out here - rugged cliffs, empty beaches, yoga, pampering, massage and a full range of private touring options.
Lifetime Private Retreats .. you will discover wilderness and vitality; and the total enjoyment of 'being in your element'.
Flora, Fauna & Wildlife Kangaroo Island is a natural sanctuary for many of Australia’s iconic wildlife. See sea lions basking on the beaches and koalas sleeping high among the gum trees. Kangaroos, wallabies, penguins and a plethora of birdlife also call Kangaroo Island ‘home’.
Food & Wine Premium local wines, the best Ligurian honey this side of Italy and the freshest seafood the oceans can serve .. but no restaurants here. At Life Time, dining is celebrated in tailor made settings: local produce under the floodlit boughs of an old fig tree, a feast with new friends shared in the shearer’s shed, candlelit dinners in a private ‘taverna’ only metres from the lapping of the ocean, or a delicious cliff top picnic waiting for you at the end of an exhilarating ocean walk.
Honeymoons Imagine a place where the two of you can really escape to – a secluded, and beautifully appointed, cliff top house stocked with thoughtful extras specially tailored for you. Whether you are sitting on your private courtyard or tucked up in bed, the dramatic Kangaroo Island coastline and its untamed bushland disappear in multiple directions as far as the eye can see.
Ultimate Relaxation Go fly a kite, talk to the kangaroos, roam the rugged clifftops and watch the wild surf roll in. Let your artistic side be inspired by the dramatic scenery below and the watercolours thoughtfully left out for you. Enjoy uplifting yoga sessions on the beach and delicious home cooked meals prepared by your talented private chef. No schedules to keep here, just plenty of time and space to do exactly as you please.
