Just a great station stay, nice cabin, quiet, plenty of wildlife and fluked the right time watch them shearing. Convenient location to explore the Flinders or do their own 4WD tracks.

Overseers cottage had everything you needed. Checked out camp sites and were very private and well set up. Staff very friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to go back to do the Skytrek.

A great outback experience. It was a pleasure to stay in The Stockman’s lodge -it is well-appointed inside, with magnificent deck, bbq, and outside fire as well as a combustion heater inside. Well placed for interesting hiking on the property, situated in the Flinders, as well as the opportunity to drive the Skytrak.

Starting in the bush, rather than a resort was a fantastic way of connecting with the country

An unique pastoral stay, quiet, peaceful and spacious, appreciating all the gifts of remote outback living: copious bird lfe, kangaroos, emus, horses, sheep, clear rolling hills and enormous river gums in creeks and waterways. It is also great value, especially for self-catering, as there are no outstanding eateries within 60km - and then they are very limited. Owners/managers are super-attentive to needs, providing excellent written information on Wilpena Pound, Ikara National Park and all surrounding attractions, walks, lookouts, etc. As well, they are onsite to answer any questions and to guide on the idiosyncracies of this remote lanscape of South Australia, I highly recommend Willow Springs for anyone wanting to experience a deep retreat and/or a unique pastoral experience in the outback.

authentic, a rare chance to see what life is like on a working sheep property. Strange beauty in the bleakness of the outback.

We stayed at the Overseer’s Cottage and we found the accomodation very comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with a large fridge, gas stove and oven, microwave, toaster and kettle. The shower is nice and the beds are comfortable. Wildlife in the property are mainly kangaroos that hang around the second gate were there is water available. The location is great, about 25 minutes from Wilpena Pound and even closer to the Bunyeroo and Brachina Gorge that is the beginning of the loop that takes you all the way to Parachilna and back. They also have camping areas with a very well equipped kitchen close to the homestead as well as covered showers and toilets. Check in was easy and Michelle provided us with enough maps and recommendations for the length of our stay. We definitely recommend this place and will book it again when we go back to the Flinders.

Would have been great to have had signposting, or map reference of exactly where the vortex is!

Hi Christine, Apologies for the difficulty in locating the Vortex. We do have our walking trail marker situated beside it however we do not want to put too much signage there as it is a significant site that we would hate to see damaged by the wrong people. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay.

Great and peaceful place to stay at
We loved that place so peaceful, in the middle of nowhere. The overseers bungalow is great, it is the former school of the shepherds, you have all the amenities you need far from tourism effusions ;we liked so much that place that we stayed for an extra night.
