Tanonga Luxury Eco Lodges

You may choose to remain on the Tanonga property for the duration of your stay. Walk the extensive walking trails or just sit by the billabong and reflect. During winter and early spring you will be charmed by the vast array of flowering local plants and orchids and the birds which come to breed on the property.

November through to March is a special time when critically endangered Yellow tailed black cockatoos come to feast on the Allepo pines on the property.

Or simply take the time to learn more about the environmentally sustainable principles used in the design of your lodge. You can read the solar power system manual and see the system in operation.

For those who want to use Tanonga as their base there are a multitude of things to see and do on Eyre Peninsula.

With more than 2,000 kilometres of coastline on Eyre Peninsula you get as much space to yourself as you need! Take a 4WD tour along this spectacular coastal expanse; you'll see sheltered coves and bays that are perfect for fishing, secluded beaches, and stunning cliff faces that provide the perfect vantage point for spotting local wildlife including Australian Sea lions and the Great White Shark. Southern Wright Whales may also be seen between June and October.

The Eyre Peninsula is home to national parks, wilderness protection areas, wild and untouched offshore islands, ancient caves, charming seaside towns, and of course mouth-watering local seafood.

Michael and Jill are also pleased to assist guest with connections to experience 4WD tours along this vast coastline, fishing charters, golf, cultural experiences, award winning wine tastings, fine dining at award winning restaurants, swimming with sea lions and dolphins at Bairds Bay and Boston Bay, cage diving with sharks or swimming with tuna in Boston Bay, visiting the Gawler Ranges and many other tours and attractions on Eyre Peninsula and the west coast.
