Arkaba Conservancy

Arkaba Conservancy sits on the southern edge of Wilpena Pound and the Flinders Ranges National Park.

Arkaba has a warm, homely atmosphere and houses just five guest rooms: four in the main building and the Coachman’s Cottage in the corner of the garden. Inside you’ll discover traditional Flinders interiors, with stone fireplaces, cosy arm chairs and artworks by a local painter. In order to maintain its peaceful charm, the rooms come without televisions, telephones and other such distractions.

Framed by the rugged Ranges, the dining terrace offers gorgeous views in the outback. Here, the resident chef cooks up traditional station cuisine with a native flair. 

Enjoy a post-dinner tipple poolside, or retreat to the crackling fireplace in the library on a chilly evening. 

Spend your days exploring the wildlife, walking trails, and undulating scenery of the Flinders Ranges. Hikers can follow the acclaimed Arkaba Walk, an exhilarating expedition that takes you along creek beds, past flat plains and over rocky mountainsides. Alternatively, go in search of kangaroos and emus on a wildlife trip, or take a 4WD drive to Brachina and Bunyeroo gorges or old mining towns.
