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.

The booking info told us to give advance notice if we were needing meals, but no contact info was given. Found an email online but didn't get a reply. Phone is intermittent but got a call back in time so all was good. Couldn't buy a drink this time but I believe that was a temporary issue.

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.

Location: it was great being out in the countryside, beautiful surroundings. Location was also good for easy access to both East and West MacDonalds. Loved rustic nature of the property. Nicky and staff were great and accommodating

The roads on the property were a bit rough, particularly up to the cabins. We could have done without the brushfire. Also, we froze at night for the first 2 nights before being told that what we thought was only air conditioning was also heating units. Tell folks when they get in!

Loved the experience of staying on an Outback Station. We had a lovely authentic Timber cabin up the track past a couple of brumbies in the bushes- very comfy bed and bathroom with a huge corner bath . Behind the cabin was a rocky red escarpment which my husband and young Jack Russell climbed .The meals both nights were tasty and home cooked with a glass of wine from the bar . Drive or walk up to the back hill of the Station for the vast stunning view across the MacDonnell Ranges - not to be missed .A beautiful outdo pool for the warmer days was beautifully done - Thank you Nicky and family for creating this little bit of paradise-the trees and shrubs were bountiful due to so much much rain.

Such an exceptionally warm welcome. Absolutely adored the peace and tranquility of the remote stay. Felt blessed to make use of the swimming pool on a hot afternoon. Air-con in the tin cabin was a godsend. The sunset view was amazing. The dinner and breakfast were incredibly delicious and plentiful. Both my meatosaurus husband and my vegetarian self felt very nurtured. I wish we'd stayed at least two nights. One night flew by too quickly.

The location was picturesque and as a large group pretty much had the place to ourselves. The pool was awesome and the old pub/film set was alot of fun for pictures.

The food and drinks were too expensive. Although the 2 guys that were manning the place cooked us a decent meal they were not chefs and this was not specified when i requested the meals. If so we would have supplied our own meal for that night.

The stone cottage was just gorgeous! You felt like you went back in time! The view and surroundings were just stunning! There is a fabulous pool and they have a chef that will cook you a 5 star incredibly delicious meal! We waited for the cattle to come down the road when we were heading to our cottage with their babies following along behind and Tripod, the three legged goat hangs out with you at the homestead while you have a sunset beer. We had to leave very early in the morning but the owners met us at 5am and made coffees for our road trip. Can't recommend this place enough!

Everything was amazing!

This was an amazing way to start our outback experience! The staff, Enrique and Alberto, could not have been more lovely and wanting our experience to be great. They ran around all day! The facilities were a little tired but we are city folk and not used to rustic! The pool was definitely a highlight for the kids!

Bathroom facilities were a bit tired.

Wow wow WOW! An absolute hidden gem!! The lovely Lindy checked us in and told us about some stunning spots on the property to check out, which we did and loved. The log cabin was an absolute dream come true and we had a lovely time toasting marshmallows by the fireplace, and meeting the locals (the famous Tripod!). The bed was extremely comfortable and the bath tub was just perfect! We couldn’t recommend this place enough, and the fact we could bring our fur babies with us was just fantastic. Thank you so much for an incredible stay and we can’t wait to return (hopefully next time for a longer stay!)
