Accessible only by boat and with a permit, this serene retreat offers a unique chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle while immersing yourself in pristine natural beauty.
About eight kilometres southeast of Edithburgh, Troubridge Island feels like stepping into another world. Its white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and modest lighthouse keeper’s cottage provide the perfect backdrop for a quiet getaway. Once an active lighthouse site until 2002, this two-hectare gem now forms part of the Troubridge Island Conservation Park.
The lighthouse keeper’s cottage has been repurposed to provide accommodation, offering a simple and rustic experience that complements the island’s isolated and natural charm. Staying in the cottage offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where life was all about the basics. Modest yet comfortable, the cottage serves as a cosy base for exploring the island’s many delights. Imagine waking up to uninterrupted ocean views and falling asleep to the sound of waves gently lapping the shore.
While on the island, your days can be as tranquil or active as you like. Fish from the shore, paddle in the shallows, or stroll along its quiet beaches to soak up the island’s unspoiled beauty. Nature lovers will be delighted by its rich biodiversity—Troubridge Island is a haven for seabirds, including fairy terns and Pacific gulls, and home to little penguins and marbled geckos.
Whether you’re craving solitude, adventure, or a mix of both, Troubridge Island offers an unforgettable experience of serenity and connection to nature. It’s not just a private island escape; it’s a step back in time and a reconnection with the simple joys of life.
