Rawnsley Park Station, South Australia

The individual Eco Villas are fully equipped with their own kitchen, spacious living area and over-bed skylights which are perfect for stargazing. Sit with a glass of South Australia wine on your wrap around veranda whist watching the vibrant red colours change as the sun sets over the surrounding landscape. Cook up a treat on the barbie (Rawnsey park will provide BBQ packs for guests who prefer to self-cater) or head toThe Woolshed, a classic Aussie pub style restaurant serving delicious fresh local food in air-conditioned comfort.

A visit to the Flinders Ranges is a taste of classic Australian outback but with a difference, it doesn’t have the crowds of the red centre and there is such a variety in the terrain you can easily spend 3 or 4 days exploring. Our top five Flinders highlights include:

Wilpena Pound - The best way to truly experience this incredible natural amphitheatre is by scenic flight or take on of the walking trails that criss-cross the Pound.

• Wildlife Spotting - In the Flinders Ranges you’ll see brilliantly coloured parrots, yellow-footed rock wallabies, kangaroos and emus, while Australia’s largest bird of prey, the wedge-tailed eagle, soars above.
• Scenic flight over Lake Eyre - Lake Eyre, a vast saltpan in the middle of outback South Australia, rarely fills with water. When it does, dazzling carpets of colour transform the surrounding desert, as dozens of vein-like creeks bring life to the parched earth attracting wildlife and birdlife.
• Food & Wine - Explore the Southern Flinders Producers Trail to find surprising fresh and native produce. Try some Quandong (native peach) pies, Golden North Icecream, Blue Gum Honey and World Class Wines.
• Stargazing – The Flinders Ranges offer some of the best astronomical viewing conditions in the Southern Hemisphere because of the clear dry atmosphere. Allow at least 2 – 3 nights in the region to ensure you have time to see them at their best!

Due to Rawnsley Park Station's remote location, there are limited travel options. 

• Air: Most international flights will arrive at Adelaide Airport.
