Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery

The Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Oil distillery and retail shop at our farm gate has been a popular Kangaroo Island tourist attraction since 1991, and we are now the only Eucalyptus Oil distillery in South Australia. We manufacture 100% pure Australian Eucalyptus Oil, which we sell - along with a large range of associated natural products through our online store.

Orders for goods can be placed online, or via phone or email, and price lists are available by request for easier ordering. Orders around the Island are regularly home delivered at no extra charge.

The business provides a craft gallery retail area not only for our own art, craft and products, but also provides an outlet for over 20 other local producers. We have a huge range of locally produced souvenirs available for you to buy, and we market a range of other Australian made oils and natural Australian products.

Emu Ridge proudly employs many Kangaroo Island locals.

Most of our customers are international. We are proud to provide additional services to meet their requirements, with information sheets in 13 different languages.

Guided tours of the distillery are available during school holidays and tours for groups are available all year round. Bookings are essential. We offer self guided tours all year round, which are very handy for families and international visitors, or visitors that may not have time for a guided tour but would still like to see the distillery.

All visitors are offered a short DVD that is available in 6 languages; this gives visitors more of an insight into our business. We also have a lovely display of history and memorabilia in our retail shop.

Our business also houses the Cellar Door for Kangaroo Island Ciders, (tastings group bookings only) complimented with a full bar license, Light meals and Tea and Coffee facilities.

For your comfort we provide public and disabled toilets, a front and back deck and dining room, as well as a general picnic area.

We built our business from scratch with our children Mel, Tristan and Tiff, learning and growing, working and helping alongside us. We are proud to have raised in the process, three awesome young adults who are now making their own way in life. Mel our oldest daughter is now part of our business as well as owning her own. The other two still have a connection with Emu Ridge and Kangaroo Island and we enjoy having them when they make the journey home.

When visiting the Island be sure to look up Mel's website and book a luxurious pamper from Mel's Balance, Beauty and Massage.

Tristan is working within our business full-time.

Tiffany is just across the water in Adelaide, where she leads a very busy life, fulfilling her creative dreams.
