The Rise

Discover The Ultimate Kangaroo Island Retreat at Ecopia

The Rise is our newest retreat!

Born of our wish to provide more options for families and friends to holiday together in a magical place, The Rise is a natural addition to Ecopia Retreat.

This loft-style two-bedroom accommodation has everything you need to ease you into a relaxing gathering of friends or family, and still has the charm that will make a couple’s romantic getaway unforgettable!

A spiral staircase* leads to the bedrooms upstairs, the bathroom is downstairs, alongside a beautifully spacious living area and stylish kitchen. And the outdoor bath under the canopy of the trees is a bliss!

The Rise melds contemporary interiors with the authentic warmth of the natural environment. Large windows bring the outside in, seamlessly connecting the incredible living gallery surrounding it, with the luxurious and cosy relaxing space inside.

*The spiral staircase is fairly narrow and steep.

The best fusion of Eco and Luxury accommodation!

Ecopia Retreat is a property that exists completely off-grid – using solar power and pure rainwater to power our eco luxury villas

A unique experience was carefully created allowing guests to relax into a nurturing getaway immersed in natural surroundings, enjoy wildlife encounters and wonderful local produce!

Your Stay

Towering over the canopies of the trees and snug into the natural bush, The Rise earnt its name due to its loft-style nature and its sunrise vantage point!

This charming luxury retreat offers an authentic nature immersion for couples and small groups of family or friends.

The open space downstairs includes a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, living space, and bathroom.  The feature spiral staircase* leads to the two bedrooms upstairs, one with a king size bed and the other with a queen size bed (king size bed can be split into two single beds).

Enjoy the morning sun on the east-facing large deck, while listening to the birds chirping amongst the branches of the trees around you.

Extra comfortable day beds by the large windows temp you to spend your days watching at the kangaroos grazing and echidnas waddling past, or simply take the time to read that book you’ve planned to read for a while.

The gorgeous outdoor stone bath is set in the bush, under the canopy of the trees and the open skies, softly whispering your name... Imagine yourself in the warm embrace of soft rainwater, being present and relaxed, tuning into the sounds of nature, with the world beyond melting away…

Nestled in nature so beautifully, The Rise provides an incredible space for relaxation and connection with yourself, each other, and the nature around you. You will be creating life-long memories and be left with a taste for more!

*The spiral staircase is fairly narrow and steep.

What our guests are saying

What an amazing place to get away from it all.

We stayed in Villa May which is beautifully appointed throughout. It is in the middle of nowhere with wildlife on your doorstep, we saw kangaroos and echidnas. Couldn't fault anything. We ordered food to be there when we arrived (breakfast and evening meal) which took the worry out of organising meals. The food was all locally sourced and fresh. We wished we could have stayed longer. If you're looking for a kangaroo island getaway, Ecopia is the answer.

Just do it ✔️ Best stay on KI

We stayed at Villa Ada for 4 nights and absolutely loved it!!! The Villa was fully equipped with everything you could need and the interior was modern and stylish. The Australian wildlife was right at our feet and we saw so many animals in their natural habitat, both by the Villa and on the Island. Robert and Yael were the perfect hosts; very kind, helpful and with great tips and knowledge. We will definitely recommend staying at Ecopia to everyone looking for a luxurious yet authentic stay while visiting KI.

AMAZING, Accomodation exceeded my expectations *****

It was our first time visiting KI and we loved it. The accommodation was of a very high standard. Perfect place to unwind & escape the daily grind. Perfect location to explore all main attractions that Kangaroo Island offers. Loved every minute. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to explore KI. Thank you Yael

Danielle, Adelaide

Stunning Villa experience immersed within Australian wildlife and tranquil bushland

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience at Ecopia. My partner and I stayed in Villa Ada for 3 nights and were blown away with the entire experience. The wildlife made for a highly unique proudly Australian experience and our host Yael was only a call or email away if we had any queries. Ecopia is a very luxurious experience and perfect for a romantic getaway – in our case a perfect setting to get engaged! I will recommend to anyone planning to visit Kangaroo Island and would love to return someday.

A truly magical experience – not to be missed!

If you are looking for peace and quiet, away from the madding crowd and a high-class superbly comfortable eco-friendly piece of paradise from which to make forays to explore the beauty of Kangaroo Island, look no further. Breathtaking views.

Peter, Adelaide

Wonderful place – highly recommended! Magical location and beautifully appointed villa.

Byo food and make the most of the self contained kitchen so you can enjoy the place more. It has a fire to keep the the place warm. Comfortable bed and lovely bathroom. You could happily sit and read a book all day enjoying the view. Thanks!

A tranquil accommodation to come back to each day…

We stayed at Ecopia Retreat for two nights. It was a tranquil accommodation to come back to each day from our tours of Kangaroo Island.  Modern and beautifully styled with a strong environmental focus, Ecopia Retreat had every home comfort we could have wished for. An added bonus was the sight of kangaroos grazing outside our window each morning – we loved it!
