Nestled within a 60,000‑acre private wildlife conservancy in South Australia’s Flinders Ranges, Arkaba Homestead is an intimate all-inclusive retreat housed in a beautifully restored 1856 sheep station. With just five ensuite rooms opening onto shady verandahs and bespoke interiors, this sanctuary offers a warm, homely feel — more like staying with friends than in a hotel.
Twice‑daily safari‑style excursions are led by expert guides, immersing guests in guided 4WD drives, bushwalks and wildlife spotting across the rugged ranges. Meals are freshly prepared by a head chef and enjoyed communally — indoors or under the stars — accompanied by local wines, gin and spirits from an open bar.
Focusing on conservation, Arkaba offers guests the chance to engage in rewilding work such as tracking wildlife, planting trees and supporting habitat restoration — with at least 2 % of each stay reinvested back into conservation efforts.
With its elegant simplicity, connection to nature and authentic outback experiences, Arkaba Homestead offers an unforgettable gateway to Australia’s wild heart.
