Bathtub Views To Make You Warm This Winter

Southern Ocean Lodge 

Draw a bath, draw a breath and let the view do the rest.

Southern Ocean Lodge, Kangaroo Island

There’s something truly magical about watching the wild Southern Ocean roll and roar as you soak in a deep tub perched on the edge of the earth. Southern Ocean Lodge brings the drama of Kangaroo Island’s cliffs right to your bathroom window. Floor-to-ceiling glass turns bath time into a cinematic experience, where dolphins leap and waves crash in a rhythm as calming as it is powerful.

Rare Earth Retreats, Fleurieu Peninsula

Tucked among the vines of McLaren Vale, Rare Earth Retreats offers an off-grid oasis designed for stillness. The outdoor bathtub invites you to wrap yourself in warmth as you gaze across rolling vineyards and distant hills. With a glass of bold Shiraz in hand and the scent of eucalyptus in the air, this is a bath that goes beyond relaxation — it’s a sensory escape into the heart of South Australia’s wine country.

Ode to the Orchard, Adelaide Hills

Ode to the Orchard 

Rustic charm meets refined luxury at this picture-perfect cottage in the Adelaide Hills. Ode to the Orchard offers sweeping views of orchards and patchwork hills from a classic clawfoot tub on your private deck. After a day spent tasting cool-climate wines and artisan produce, slip into the tub and let the golden afternoon light wash over you. 

Nest and Nature, Fleurieu Peninsula

This tranquil hideaway offers more than just a deep soaking tub — it offers stillness. Nest and Nature is designed for guests seeking space, solitude, and serenity. From the warmth of your bath, watch the sun set across the Fleurieu landscape, turning vineyards and treetops into shades of amber and rose. The soundtrack? Birds calling from nearby gum trees and the gentle hush of the breeze.

CABN X, Kangaroo Island

Ode to the Orchard 

Modern, minimalist and deeply grounded in nature, CABN X on Kangaroo Island is luxury pared back to its purest form. The bath here is a sleek centrepiece, framed by clean architecture and unfiltered bushland views. As steam curls around you, watch wallabies pass by and the sky turn from brilliant blue to twilight mauve. This is solitude with style.

Naiko Retreat, Fleurieu Peninsula

Set within Deep Creek Conservation Park, Naiko Retreat is where coastal cliffs meet curated comfort. The freestanding tub sits in perfect harmony with its surroundings, offering guests a front-row seat to the ocean beyond. Gaze across windswept hills and rugged shoreline as you let go of the outside world, one breath and one bath at a time.

Brockenchack Vineyard Bed and Breakfast, Barossa Valley

Brockenchack

Wine lovers, take note. In the heart of the Barossa, Brockenchack invites you to soak in vineyard views from not one, but two side-by-side open-air tubs. Whether it's a romantic escape or a best-friends weekend, this experience blends bubbles in your glass with bubbles in your bath, against a backdrop of vines stretching to the horizon.

Wander Pod, Kangaroo Island

Built for immersion in both comfort and nature, Wander Pods are the perfect place to unplug. With a private outdoor bath overlooking Kangaroo Island’s dramatic north coast, you can sit back and watch the sea change colours with the sky. Off-grid luxury has never looked — or felt — so inviting.

Lost Retreats Willunga, Fleurieu Peninsula

Lost Retreats

Secluded and soul-soothing, Lost Retreats is tucked into the hills above Willunga. After a day exploring the region’s farmers markets, cellar doors and rugged trails, return to your private deck and run a bath. The landscape unfolds before you like a painting, alive with birdsong and the shifting light of dusk.

Sea Dragon, Kangaroo Island

If your dream bath includes the open sea and salty breeze, Sea Dragon delivers. With bathtubs set on private balconies, you can soak while watching waves roll across the coastline. The air is fresh, the views uninterrupted, and the sense of peace is all-encompassing.

Winter in South Australia: Soak It In

Sea Dragon

These bathtubs do more than warm your skin — they calm your mind. But when you're ready to dry off, South Australia’s winter offerings are just as comforting. From roaring fireplaces and regional feasts to scenic drives and cellar door discoveries, this season invites you to slow down and savour every moment.
