About Stony Rise Lodge

Stony Rise Lodge

A lodge shaped by the coast

Capturing sunrise, sunset and the calm that connects them.

Stony Rise Lodge was architecturally designed to embrace the landscape — a calm, modern retreat where luxury lives in the details. Expansive glazing frames uninterrupted views across the Infinity Lawn and toward Little Dip Conservation Park, blurring the boundary between indoors and nature.

Light shifts beautifully through the space each day, with louvred windows welcoming the coastal breeze in summer and underfloor heating and a sandstone-framed fireplace creating warmth and cosiness in winter.

Interiors are intentionally minimal yet elevated — tan leather, natural stone, curated art and bespoke Australian-made furniture come together to create a refined sense of comfort. Every space feels open, inviting and deeply connected to the rhythm of Robe's coast.

From morning coffee with a view to golden-hour gatherings at sunset, the lodge is designed for meaningful moments and effortless relaxation.

Elevated Lodge Hospitality

Throughout your stay, you'll have access to our self-serve guest bar — stocked with chilled soft drinks, juice, ciders and a selection of our local and international beers. Wine lovers can explore premium local bottles, each priced and ready to enjoy at your leisure.

Still or sparkling rainwater flows fresh from our Zip HydroTap — a little luxury that quickly becomes a daily ritual.

Help yourself, settle in, and make the space your own — whether that's a quiet evening drink or a relaxed start to the afternoon.

Pet Friendly

Dog-Friendly by Nature

Four-legged travellers are more than welcome — they're part of the family. With wide open space to explore, ocean air to sniff and sunny spots perfect for afternoon naps, dogs settle in just as quickly as their humans.

We keep a few welcoming touches on hand for them too, a cosy mat, water bowl and a treat on arrival so they feel right at home. Please just let us know when booking so we can ensure everything is ready for a comfortable stay.

We're unable to host other pet types due to our natural bush surroundings.

Australian Design

Locally Made, Thoughtfully Crafted

Stony Rise celebrates Australian design and the talented makers who bring beauty and function to every stay.

  • Handcrafted Furniture

    The Wormy Chestnut dining table was handcrafted in Adelaide by Agostino & Brown — where guests gather each morning for breakfast.

  • Artisan Pottery

    Our stoneware crockery comes from the family-run Bennetts Magill Pottery, whose fifth-generation craft continues to shape South Australia's creative heritage.

  • Quality Comforts

    Luxurious wool bedding by MiniJumbuk brings natural comfort and coastal cosiness, while sustainably made Apricate towels and locally sourced amenities ensure your stay feels good in every sense.

Every piece tells a story of the region — grounded in quality, community and a genuine love for local craftsmanship.

Environmental Commitment

Sustainability & Local Living

At Stony Rise, nature shapes daily life. The lodge is surrounded by native coastal scrub that has been carefully regenerated since the 1970s, after livestock were removed to allow the landscape to return to its natural state. Today, this land forms part of a protected zone recognised for its Significant Environmental Benefit and is managed under a long-term conservation plan.

Working alongside the Native Vegetation Council, we actively restore the ecosystem by removing invasive species and supporting native flora and wildlife. It's not uncommon to see kangaroos, wombats and coastal birdlife right outside the lodge — a reminder that this land remains wild, thriving and truly connected to the surrounding Little Dip Conservation Park.

A stay at Stony Rise isn't just beautiful — it supports the continued rejuvenation of an extraordinary corner of the Limestone Coast.
