Find Hotels in Flinders Ranges

We stayed in a 2 bedroom holiday unit for 4 nights. This was enough time to explore the park and do walks and a full day 4WD tour which was a highlight of the trip which I would highly recommend. I also did a flyover of Wilpena Pound with Chinta air which was fabulous and leaves from Rawnsley station. The unit was very comfortable and had everything we needed to cook our own meals and a decent sized fridge to store supplies that we bought in Jamestown which has a good sized Foodland. Barbecues were very handy just outside and spotlessly clean. We ate at the Woolshed restaurant 1 night and were rather disappointed with it (see separate review). We loved having emus outside especially at dusk and views of Rawnsley Bluff were quite spectacular. We also enjoyed the walks around Rawnsley station of which there are several but you need to have a fly net as flies were really bad. It was also extremely windy weather for first 3 days and my flight had to be rescheduled. The reception staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Jules our 4WD drive guide was excellent. Wilpena Pound was approx 20 minute drive away on sealed road but is much more bushy so we were glad we had chosen Rawnsley to stay at. We did one of the walks there as well but quite different terrain. There was a terrific art exhibition currently on at Wilpena of local artists which we loved.

We stayed 5 nights in a Ikara Glamping tent which was comfortable & quiet. Heating was good as nights & mornings were cool. These tents have no wifi but around the resort restaurant & reception area it is strong. The staff were friendly & helpful & our experience booking accommodation & later some tours was excellent. The restaurant offered a great variety of food & it was interesting & delicious. The scenery is amazing, night sky is breathtaking, walks are interesting & plenty of wildlife to see. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
