Arkaba Station

Flinders Ranges


Flashy outback station accommodation in an 1850s homestead, between Hawker and Wilpena: it's an exercise in contemporary bush luxury. Rates include chef-cooked meals and daily guided wilderness safaris tailored to your interests (walking, driving, cultural, airborne). Transfers also available (though at these prices, you might want to save a few dollars and drive yourself). Two-night minimum stay.
