An authentic experience away from the tourist trail.

This unique setting, a operating ranch as well as a film set offers an unparalleled experience. We stayed for three days, the first night in a charming stone cottage that featured an open fire with beds for 4 people and another cabin with two separate single beds. The stone and tin bathroom had delightful personal touches and a lovely strong shower. The outside cupboard was stocked with basic utensils, which was all we needed since we enjoyed dinner at the homestead. The beds were comfortable, and the furnishings were of high quality. Nicky and Craig, were genuinely friendly and hospitable, knowledgeable and showing us around the area and particularly to Sunset Hill, which had a table and two chairs where we went every evening to watch the sunset. The homestead offered wifi, and a huge roaring fire was always crackling, with a potbelly stove on the verandah with a table and chairs became our chill out spot while we enjoyed listening to some funky music. We also stayed in the second cabin, the Tin Cottage, which featured a romantic four-poster bed. The bathtub was a fun addition, and little touches like bath salts and creams made it extra special. We visited the nearby carvings and spent some time in Alice, but we were eager to relax and enjoy the views, the goats, and the wonderful hospitality of the people.

Excellent location, and the staff went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. I would certainly recommend a stay at the homestead.

Bad and dishonest people.

The property took almost $1,000 from my account. They cancelled my booking apparently due to bad weather and a power cut. They refused to take any responsibility for refunding the money blaming booking.com and not responding to any communication. I have had to seek a credit card refund.

I enjoyed myself. I like the Aussie bush and love the mountains and birdsong in the morning.

It’s rustic, but quaint and quirky. Great friendly staff. A real bush experience. I had a choice of 4 beds. The bed was comfortable. The bath was great.

A good change from the luxury hotel vibe if you really want to experience an outback station.

My second visit. Really awesome place with spectacular rock formations and lots of red dirt. Peaceful. Pool is amazing though it was too cold for it this time around. Craig was very helpful and Lyn cooked us just what we wanted. Be aware, you need to want a pioneer style experience, this is no luxury hotel. You're on a working cattle station and you're basically staying in a film set. Internet is only available at the central building but it's super fast and phones work there too. Go up to the lookout. if you leave the door open don't be surprised if goats wander in.

Did not live up to expectations

The glamping tents we booked were not available and we were instead put in the log cabin. Kitchen was not available and this was not communicated prior. I am still waiting for the agreed refund for the difference between 2 tents and the log cabin.

Quirky and peaceful outback stay

A really relaxing, quirky and peaceful stay in the middle of the central Australian outback. Close to the airport and Alice, Ooraminna Station doesn't disappoint, there is a lot to see and do on this property. We were lucky enough to cuddle some baby goats whilst enjoying the pool in front of the homestead. Later that day we saw some wild brumbies, as well as some cattle and Fiona, the resident donkey. The landscape is something else, rocky red dirt, green lush growth, and startling blue skies all lead to amazing sunsets, especially from the lookout. Our cabin was comfortable, had everything we needed including a portable stove, microwave, and fridge etc. We had an amazing night's rest! Whilst the cabins are off the grid, you can get reception around various parts of the property or really strong Starlink wifi at the homestead/pool area. Highly recommend for some fun when in Alice.
