There are five guest rooms, each with an ensuite bathroom and air conditioning, as well as supremely comfortable living areas and a pool overlooking Arkaba Creek. An open bar with a selection of beverages is available to guests and the resident chef provides traditional station cuisine infused with native elements.Activities on the property include wildlife watching, learning of life on a working sheep station, bush walking, four wheel drive safaris, visits to the Flinders Ranges National Park, mountain biking or taking a scenic flight over Wilpena Pound and the salt flats of Lake Torrens.
