Wilpena Pound is a wonderful adventure we 😊 it

There is nothing to fault about this place. This was my fourth visit in eight years, and each time the experience improves. Like all cabins, we had a view of Rawnsley Bluff, so both the sunrise and sunset were magnificent. The accommodation was excellent. Spotless, well furnished, very comfortable beds, excellent kitchen facilities, hot water showers at the right pressure, heating and cooling (though we only used the overhead fans). The outdoor barbeque and seating facilities are great. We self-catered, and the kitchen contained all the utensils and cookware needed. Tea and excellent ground coffee were provided. I walked every trail on the map provided at reception. If you climb Rawnsley Bluff, make sure you also take in the Wilpena Lookout. The shorter, less arduous walks (Pine Grove, Kangaroo Gap Lookout and Clem's Lookout) are worth doing, but perhaps less of the 'wow' factor. Take water, trail mix, and your camera. There are multiple places to watch the sun rise and set in the area, but the station lookout on the map is great (picnic tables and seating). However, Pugilist Hill is 8km from the station and 'the' place to watch the world go by. Take your favourite people and wine, and admire one of the greatest views in the region. You get Wilpena Pound, Elders Range and Chase Range in a single 360-degree view. Spectacular. Reception is helpful and the station staff always ready with a smile or a wave.

The breakfast was terrific good selection Wine selection was great Micro Brewery was good good beers loved the stout Evening meals were extremely good Staff were extremely pleasant and great hosts in Eli and Lockie

Great walks on the station itself, amazing views! Proximity to Wilpena Pound was a bonus. This station experience was a wonderful part of our Flinders Ranges trip. We were given plenty of information when we booked (need to bring own food), which was very handy, plus the warm and informative welcome was great.
