Staying at Arkaba was a highlight of our trip to Australia. The staff were so knowledgeable and really showed us all over the Station. It gave us a flavor of what life on a sheep station would be like. The food was great (we actually tried Kangaroo which was delicious!) and everyone was so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble...

Professionally run from the beginning to the end. From the expert knowledge of our guide (Stuart) to the small touches at camp that made all the difference after a days walking - wet washers on our arrival, hot water bottles in our swags and warm water for the shower 'with a view'! The team did an amazing job and provided... More

A great way to see the Flinders Ranges. Excellent accomdation, great food and enthusiastic staff. Only critisism is that their tours do not venture off Arkaba thus to see the other great areas of the Flinders you will need to do this yourself and to have a 4WD vehicle.

What to say about Arkaba Station? We came as guests, and 2 days later we left as friends of the house. Arkaba Station is a hotel (by lack of a more appropriate description) that does everything to make you feel welcome and at home. Hosts Cat and Brendan, chef Richard and guide Stuart are all equally helpful, going out of... More

Stayed here for 3 nights after a 5 hr drive from Adelaide airport.  There are 5 rooms in the homestead surrounded by 60,000 acres of  wilderness and the first night was here all by myself! (the staff stayed in separate buildings), second night a couple from Holland arrived, and the third night we were joined by 5 more guests for... More

What an experience!!! The homestead is magnificent, with a food and wine experience to match. I was amazed with the display of colours from the intense magenta sunsets to the vivid colours of the wildlife and the flora and fauna. I really enjoyed exploring with the guides, there is so much knowledge they are ready to share. The walk to... More

The Arkaba Homestead is uncompromising luxury in a picturesque setting nestled in the rugged Flinders Ranges. The staff attended to our every need, and Richard the chef deserves a special mention for his culinary expertise. The guided tours through the rugged terrain were an experience not to be missed, and I doubt if there would be a better location to... More

Sunrises over spectacular, rugged scenery; sunsets, sumptious food and stargazing; kangaroos and joeys, daddy emus and chicks and wedge tail eagles as travel companions. And there's more!! From tiny wildflowers to majestic gums - the Australian bush at its most beautiful. Arkaba Station is a magic place. Thanks to our guides Kat and Stuart and our chef, Richard, who pampered,... More

The Arkaba homestead was so luxurious for an outback station and the guides and staff were just so professional. We booked the station for our exclusive use, which was not too difficult as they only have 5 luxury double rooms and there were five couples, so that worked out perfectly. The station is not open to the public so we... More

We did the 4 day 3 night walk through Wilpena Pound and the Flinders Ranges and loved it. Our guide Kat was fabulous and her passion for the flora and fauna infectious. The scenery was varied and breathtaking and it was exhilarating to be striding through the hills with no visible track and just her knowledge of the terrain to... More
