Island Stay
Flinders Island Eco Escape is a secluded 4000ha off grid island retreat located 35km south west of Elliston Eyre Peninsula, in the Investigator Group Islands. Welcoming just one group of guests at a time in our absolute beachfront accommodation, offers a chance to exclusively live and feel the freedom of the island lifestyle.
Flinders Island Safe Haven
Our island paradise will soon be home to nationally threatended mammal species! The Flinders Island Safe Haven Project enters it’s next cruicial phase in April 2025 with the eradication of invasive feral species. Following the eradicaion phase, reintroductions will occur and the current population of bird and reptile species will naturally thrive!
Biosecurity
Our island will soon be PEST FREE, are you? To ensure the success of the Flinders Island Safe Haven Project and to prevent re-incursion of invasive species, biosecurity requirements to visit the island will be in place from January 2025. Visitors to the Island will be required to meet all biosecurity requirements.
NOTIFICATION
FLINDERS ISLAND SAFE HAVEN PROJECT
The Woolford family are collaborating with the Australian Government, Department for Environment and Water, and the Eyre Peninsula Landscape Board to restore Flinders Island to its natural state and to create a Safe Haven for threatened species.
BIOSECURITY REQUIREMENTS IN PLACE FROM JANUARY 2025
You have a vital role to play in helping us protect this unique place. By following some simple steps, and doing what is reasonably practicable, you can do your part and help to ensure that no pests or diseases are transported to Flinders Island.
Please check all items, aircraft and boats for unwanted pests before departing the mainland.
Items such as surfboard covers, swags and tents, BBQ bags, firewood, camp chairs, beach tents and open/loose gear such as open shopping bags could harbour stowaways – a simple check can make a huge difference.
ISLAND CLOSURE FROM 1 MAY – 31 AUGUST 2025
The island will be CLOSED to the public for this time period. Inshore fishing and island visits by boat or plane will be prohibited while operations are underway to ensure public safety and to prevent interruptions to aerial and ground operations during this critical time.
