Only a very little way out of Hawker but so much better to stay than right in Wilpena pound A] because of cost much more economical & you can do your own cooking B]nwhen driving in and out of Wilpena so many of the sights are along the same Rd. So, plan what you want to see and plan your day trips. And remember : stay off the Rd from Dusk onward because of Kangaroos. Also watch out for Emus & their chicks they are around often all throughout the day and wander across the Road. Enjoy making a lifetime memories of a beautiful area.

Nice property. A couple of minor maintenance issues: blind slats in main room don’t rotate. Bathroom sink partly blocked. Main issue however was Deb and Steve seem over busy. I called and emailed prior to arrival to confirm booking, time etc. as this is a remote area. The phone was off, no response to email. As it turned out, others had mistakenly checked into my room, after speaking to Deb on the way in. She didn’t pick up that they were the wrong people arriving a day early. I know they get a parade of people through each week, but still, it would be good if they were more responsive and checked who was supposed to be arriving each day. All that said, Deb sorted out the issue promptly and no harm done. It is a nice place, beautiful view from the lounge room and tables and chairs out the front make a great place to enjoy breakfast.

We loved this property and would definitely stay again if in the area. A lovely cottage with a fully equipped kitchen with everything l could have needed. Bed was really comfortable and heater was good. Also a laundry close by . A beautiful view of the ranges was had as we enjoyed sitting by the open fire pit and watching kangaroos. Location was perfect. Two kms from hawker with peace and quiet.

Great place to base yourself for exploring Flinder
The location is amazing! We spotted kangaroos next door on arrival. Far enough away from town to see all the stars in the night sky, but close enough for all your needs. The beds were comfortable, the shower was hot and the kitchen was basic but sufficiently stocked for cooking meals (we were a family of 5).
View at dusk from the cottage.

Great location - fantastic views of the outback from our room, we enjoyed watching the sunrise on one of our mornings, and toasting marshmallows in the camp fire pit on a couple of the nights. Very comfy beds and pillows, warm blankets, air-con was great, and kitchen had all the amenities we needed. The coffee and plunger was a lovely treat every night. Nice well appointed bathroom too. A good location to get to all the Flinders Ranges iconic locations. Loved our stay.
