Stokes Bay Beach

Bordering Waves and Wildlife Cottages is one of South Australia's best beaches - Stokes Bay Beach. This beach is accessed through a rock tunnel. Once you stroll onto this beach you will find immediately a natural rock pool which is safe swimming for children of all ages. The ocean next to the rockpool is ideal for surfing, body surfing and fishing.

The cottages are set on 80 acres behind the cliff directly surrounding Stokes Bay Beach with no roads in between. Much of the property remains natural bush land which is home to large mobs of the Kangaroo Island Kangaroo which graze around the cottages every evening. At the beach penguins, dolphin pods pass by and occasionally we spot a seal or two.

Lathami Conservation Park

The neighbouring Lathami Conservation Park is a breeding ground for the rare Glossy Black Cockatoo. This park is named for the subspecies of Glossy Black Cockatoo of which about 250 remain. The subspecies is found only on Kangaroo Island. This park is dedicated to the careful nurturing and protection of Glossy Black Cockatoos and is slowly increasing their numbers.

Lathami Winery

Adjacent to Lathami Conservation Park, you'll find Lathami Winery. The Wurst-family produces a brilliant Shiraz. This classic cool climate Shiraz contains vibrant aromatic, elegant fruit and a tight structure. Forest fruits are supported by tobacco and complexities of Frech oak.
