"Wow! The executive chef Jono Sweet is second to none. I have never been so privileged to eat a meal so beautifully presented and prepared. Do yourself a favour and eat at the Samphire Restaurant at Rumi on Louth. You will not regret it. Scott and Ella in Front of House were amazing. Thank you!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Seven-Star Experience! Truly Unforgettable. We are overwhelmingly grateful to be able to say that we had our wedding day at Rumi, and honestly, words still don’t feel big enough. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and genuine care. This place is wildly underrated. It is breathtakingly untouched, peaceful, intimate, and unbelievably special. The island itself feels like a hidden sanctuary - the calm, the water, the stillness, the beauty… it’s absolutely delightful in every sense of the word. The service is on another level. Every single staff member is kind, consistent, attentive, and truly invested in your experience. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They go above and beyond to make sure you feel indulged, relaxed, and completely looked after. If we could give 10 stars, it still wouldn’t be enough. We were lucky enough to spend time on the island with all of our wedding guests the day before our wedding, and the way the team embraced the fun, the chaos, and the shenanigans , all while keeping everything calm, seamless, and joyful -was nothing short of incredible. Everyone had the best time, and the atmosphere was pure magic. My husband Sam and I were then fortunate enough to spend a couple of days on the island as newlyweds, soaking up the most peaceful, beautiful days we could have ever imagined. It was exceptional in every way. We are genuinely in awe… and truthfully, we don’t want to leave. A special and heartfelt thank you to Ella, who ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish , coordinating guests, managing logistics, and calmly handling every moving part with grace, care, and absolute professionalism. Our wedding day was flawless because of you, and we will be forever grateful. And to Beto and Damien - thank you both for the constant high spirits, the infectious energy, the seamless boat transfers, and for keeping the vibe so incredible throughout our stay. Your warmth, humour, and genuine care truly elevated our entire experience and made our time at Rumi even more unforgettable. The food, landscapes, the views, the water, the service, the consistency absolutely everything about this place is exceptional. Never have we been anywhere in Australia that offers this level of care, beauty, and authenticity. Rumi is a rare gem, and we will be shouting its existence from the rooftops. We are so grateful, so humbled, and so thankful and we cannot wait to return to celebrate all of our future anniversaries here and watch it transform into something even more magical than it already is. ✨🤍"

"We spent three nights here in January. Every detail was perfect not least the cuisine and staff. It is a very discreet establishment that quietly lets you get on with your day without fussing around you. The staff are super friendly and all have their stories. Kudos to them all, and to the owner for formulating such an inspired way to share such a special place with us."

"Louth Island — South Australia’s Best-Kept Secret Tucked discreetly off the Port Lincoln coast, Louth Island is a rare and enchanting escape — the kind of place you almost don’t want to share for fear it might lose its magic. From the moment we arrived, every detail exceeded expectation. The apartment was impeccable, the dining exquisite, and the service effortless yet attentive — pure perfection. This tranquil sanctuary offered exactly what we craved: seclusion, romance, and an air of refined exclusivity. It’s the kind of destination that restores your spirit and leaves you quietly awed by its simplicity and beauty. We feel truly privileged to have experienced this unspoiled island paradise and can hardly wait to see what Stage 2 unveils — though it’s difficult to imagine improving on what already feels flawless."

"If I could give the service higher than 5/5 I would! What a magical stay we've just had at Rumi on Louth - and in the height of winter. We made the trip across to Port Lincoln from Adelaide for our wedding anniversary to try the Coffin Bay oyster farm experience. Rumi on Louth was a wonderful place to stay that gave us an opportunity to really disconnect and relax, yet it was surprisingly easy to get to care of a seamless transfer experience. We enjoyed walking on the beaches, taking the buggies around the island, and indulging in the excellent food. The staff truly went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Huge thanks to the team! I don't know what sorcery has taken place to bring together such an outstanding bunch, but I have never experienced a hospitality team this good in Australia. We will definitely be back! Thank you again!"

The food was incredible, and the staff were amazing—so genuine and helpful! I highly recommend staying at Rumi, and if you can, definitely consider booking your wedding there!"
