Rawnsley Park Station is a historic sheep station on the southeastern edge of Wilpena Pound in South Australia’s Flinders Ranges, around 420 kilometres north of Adelaide, or about five hours by sealed road. Set across 29,000 acres, it offers a range of accommodation to suit different preferences, from the brand-new Oasis Eco-Villas to self-contained units and bushland camping:
- Oasis Eco-Villas (NEW): Six premium one- and two-bedroom villas, opened in November 2026, each with a private plunge pool, uninterrupted views and a dedicated concierge manager.
- Classic Eco-Villas: Luxury one- and two-bedroom villas with modern amenities and panoramic views of the surrounding ranges.
- Rawnsley Homestead: A secluded, fully restored homestead offering an exclusive retreat.
- Holiday Units: Self-contained units with one to three bedrooms, ideal for families and groups.
- Caravan Park and Camping: Powered and unpowered sites set within native bushland, suitable for caravans, motorhomes and tents.
New for 2026: Oasis Eco-Villas
Tucked away on a quiet, secluded site on the eastern slope of Station Hill, the six new Oasis Eco-Villas look out across uninterrupted views towards Rawnsley Bluff and Wilpena Pound. Days unfold on a wide verandah and sundeck with your own plunge pool, while evenings belong to the outback sky: a retractable ceiling above the bed opens up the stars without leaving the comfort of the bedroom. Each villa features king beds (which can be split into twins), a fully equipped kitchen, an outdoor kitchen and BBQ, a spacious living and dining area, and artworks by local artists. A dedicated concierge manager is on hand to take care of every detail of your stay.
Oasis Indulgence Packages
For an all-inclusive stay, the two- or three-night Oasis Indulgence Packages combine villa accommodation with dining at the Michelin Guide listed Woolshed Restaurant and small-group experiences shared only with other Oasis guests, with a maximum of four guests per tour. Expect sparkling wine and a cheese platter on arrival, a guided tour through Bunyeroo and Brachina Gorges in Ikara–Flinders Ranges National Park, and a late-afternoon wildlife drive ending with sunset drinks and canapés. The three-night package adds a guided walk into Wilpena Pound and a 45-minute scenic flight over the Pound and its gorges.
Activities and dining
Guests can enjoy a range of activities, including guided 4WD tours, bushwalking trails, scenic flights over Wilpena Pound and sheep-shearing demonstrations. The on-site Woolshed Restaurant, set in a converted shearing shed, serves modern Australian cuisine built around local produce and was recognised in the inaugural MICHELIN Guide Australia selection.
The station’s location offers easy access to the natural beauty and wildlife of the Flinders Ranges, making it an ideal base for exploring this ancient landscape, and a natural addition to a self-drive through the Barossa or Clare Valley.
